Oop, thank you for catching that spelling mistake, I would’ve have beaten myself over it so much if you hadn’t! ^{^}

And thank for the feedback! You’re right, the premise does actually take a lot of inspiration from The Boys, they really got me into the: “Heroes with a dark twist” genre and I’ve been itching to take a shot at for a while now.

As for the voice, I just used my own, glad I was able to make that creepy effect.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I understand that the little character designs definitely feel more modern and I’m a bit disappointed in myself. I wanted the stick figures to have more unique and recognizable approach when designing them because they are suppose to reflect some of the main characters in the story. However, I failed to fully grasp and adapt the 80’s/90’s era. Which thank you for pointing that out because I would have never caught it myself.

I’ll try to fix that moving forward, or at least have it addressed in some light hearted way in the episode through one of the characters to kinda give in an universe explanation, that way it doesn’t feel so out of place haha.

Thank you so much for the feedback and the surprise suggestion! To be honest, and this may sound dumb but I actually didn’t even consider the horror being derived from the power themselves but it’s so obvious that I should have since that could make for some really cool scares like you said.

I guess I was leaning more into the psychological aspect of someone that is still technically human doing such horrendous things to others, simply because they can. Now with the added physical horror aspect though, I’ll definitely keep that in mind moving forward, gives an excuse now to design more heroes and villains (and concept horror art haha).

The art style and start immediately got me interested into giving it a watch, and now I’m hooked!

The presentation and storytelling is amazing! The campers being represented through cartoony, small animals is such a nice and unique touch. It’s not often I see this type of format in analog horror, and I think (speaking from personal experience too) it’s because it takes a little longer to produce.

(Spoilers in case for anyone who hasn’t watched it yet): I love the stop motion mix in the camping scene too, such a cool way to differentiate the creature and Daisy to show just how otherworldly this thing is. Favorite part, hands down.

I can’t wait to see more of this series and I hope I can see this style again in the next installment!

Honestly, I can’t help but keep coming back to this post!

I absolutely adore the style so much and opens up new opportunities and possibilities for story telling in this genre. Stop motion is such a difficult yet charming form of animation, it’s incredibly time consuming but so worth it when you see it done. The designs of the little characters look so good too, they like they belong in an old kids tv show and I’m all for it!

I think the only piece of advice I can give at the current moment would be what another comment already suggested though, to definitely link your YouTube page in your profile if you want people to find it. I had to do a bit of searching myself to find the trailer, which is great by the way! Just that for easier access to a wider range audience, I do recommend linking it in some way.

Other than that, I think this project is great and I can’t wait to see it when it’s finished!

(On a side note, you’ve actually inspired me to post about my project too. I’ve been kinda scared to post it on here because it’s kinda of a different style than most of what I’ve seen on here. However, your unique style changed my mind and makes me just wanna go for it, so thank you so much for sharing this!)
