The strongest point of the show is the writing, which is good since this IS a character-focused show. It's a nice change of pace after most internet animation, I feel, needs to be over the top and have complicated lore. The normality of the premise helps break the mold in a weird way lol.

Characters like JC would've been really annoying with her overly sarcastic personality but I felt the voice actress and voice direction helped keep it grounded and believable. Cody pushing back on her witty remarks is also a good choice. It's clear that she's frustrated by her own insecurity and projecting some of it onto Cody, while Cody argued and challenged her mindset. It's an interesting dynamic of "nerdy boy" and "cool n' witty girl" trope that you'd normally see in these.

My only issue is in regard to the animation. I'm fine with the imagine spots being well-animated while everything else is more subdued. I don't think you'll be able to have a whole show like that, especially when you're working with crowdfunded money. I also enjoyed the contrast but even then, I feel the "real life" portions could've been done a bit better.

Characters like Sabrina looked very odd in this episode. The constant "side view" for her looks very off model and her throwing the laptop near the start looks kind of sloppy. I'm also not a fan of the whole body smear when characters are snapping to different poses, like Cody earlier on in the episode. I think it'd look better if you don't have that in there.

I'm criticizing that aspect because I did manage to find an old tumblr blog that had an animatic for this episode and I felt the final animation didn't do it justice. It's much more noticeably pulled back (especially in terms of expressions) and I felt shortcuts were taken that made it not look as good.

I feel bad ragging on that aspect because (as far as I know?) only one person does the animation for the real-life portion. I don't want them to think they're doing a bad job because honestly, I do think there were parts that were good. The opening with JC was very well done and consistent. The phone conversations were decently done as well. I wish that quality was kept throughout the episode pretty much.

But yea, that's the only real negative point. I think the team is doing a good job with the show so far and I can't wait for the Halloween episode!

"This reminds me of Sr Pelo" I say as I poop in my diaper for the 18th time today and fail to understand that everyone else can make a spooky-themed cartoon

Anyway, I say this was well done! The drawn expressions on the characters look fantastic and I especially enjoy how Renwick was animated despite the limitation the character design provides.

I'm pretty cool with the voice acting, I think it helps add more of a "nostalgic" favor in a different way than what you would expect. A bunch of my favorite web cartoons from my childhood does a similar thing where it was just the animator and one of their friends doing the voices, lol.

The only criticism I have is that I think Nancy's acting needs some work. I understand that part of her character is that she sounds "bland" but it comes off as you more reading the script than acting at various points, if that makes sense. Her scene at around 0:43 through 0:48 showcases my issue pretty well. I felt like you were holding yourself back a bit too much there.

However, I can't wait to see more! It's impressive how quickly you picked up 3D animation and manage to make something very unique.

I'm proud that you got this finished! We haven't talked in a while, but I've been seeing you post bits and pieces in here. It's awesome to see you doing something much more experimental.

I like the plot twist a lot. When you showcased the character, I thought it was for something unrelated? It was a nice surprise to see them making an appearance. Makes me think about their purpose and what's the implications of such things.

Keep up the great work, man!

This is very cute! I'm surprised something like this hasn't been done sooner.

I lack much criticism as this game feels like it has done what it's set out to do. I only got suggestions that I would like to see such as maybe letting the character hold a prop (could have them holding Alien Hominid's gun, for example) and picking different colors for individual parts, like clothing and hair. I think that would help people to make their TRULY unique Picosona.

Again, cute idea, and can't wait to see how you build upon this!

Can you please stop making sexy characters? Like, Goloth might as well not be wearing anything at this point, thanks.

I like the color choice you did for this one! It's a good contrast to the dark shadows that you added onto the character. Make it pop.
