Graphics are better in this than that $350 million Flash movie. Well done sir.

[elshid]

The CGI is just wow. Whoever did this is a god of CGI.

I love how the more personal risk he took placing himself in the path of danger, the faster the karma meter seemed to charge :)

[CannonRanger-]

One chord can turn the tide of battle. Three chords can rock the world. Well done! 👍

That was just the most rewarding five minutes I gave away in the last few years. consider your work accomplished, Nate. What a visual feast and a superbly choreographed sequence. You have nailed it beyond what passes for mainstream cinema, or streaming these days. Not having an expert knowledge in all the processes needed to make your excellent film, I cannot break down the many, many hours and days of production, refinement, reproduction, re-refinement etc, I just want to say that the basic story and the pacing were on point. You have a great future ahead of you if you never forget the work you put in for Wayward Gods.

This is totally awesome. It reminded me a lot of the updated Tron movie, but seriously, the work that must have gone into this makes it a real achievement.

[pablotobon]

This is just beautiful! You did a wonderful job Nate. Loved every minute of it!

Take it from a guy who rides a motorcycle and plays
Most of us can't do that.

This was an amazing show of talent, incredible concept, a graphics treat
Really, well done!

I was SO expecting the cheesy guitar solo. Frankly, I'm glad it was missed. Great animation in this movie.

[bergssprangare]

I like how you made the Majestic Dragon freeze, as in fear, when he saw his opponent.. As if he knew that all his soldiers would not be able to help it..I hope to see more of you..U have talent//

WOW That was amazing!! Hats off & a resounding shout out to all that made this film one of the best I have ever seen and I am 80+ years old. Thanks a bunch. You made my day. Sincerely, Sentebay.

[nwankwochike]

Love this. Awesome pacing and voiceless storytelling. Beautiful score. This will make a great music video.

[narc]

i feel this needs to be turned into a VR rithm shooter somehow

[CosmicCustodian]

At first I thought it was going to be a mini-movie with a banger of a soundtrack but it didn't have just a banging soundtrack, the visual accompaniment combined with the organo-roboto representative of Chinese mythology paired by a SFX design of 10/10 quality. I had to replay the first beam warm up 5 times it's that good.

Honestly, major props to you and your team (if any) for creating what I believe could be a new genre of movies. If you have seen Mad God you'll understand, but movies with no actual spoken words because it really let's the imagination fly. 😙👌🏻

[oahu_al]

Kudos….Thai cinema is headed in the right direction.

[bluestar_edits]

This is really good! I really enjoyed it. The CGI is top notch loved the colour scheme it doesn't have any dialogues but still conveys the story.

[cinemaasylumpodcast]

This needs to be a full length, holy crap

[geimuvr]

Absolutely BONKERS!!! Massive props to the filmmakers!!!

[PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

I'm a guitar player, I got really excited watching this short film! 3:15 Ready To Rock 🤘💀🤘

[leonestello]

Hm, I like it... "Ready to Rock" guitar 🎸

I've just one question. Where's Bill?




Haha get it... Now go and Be Excellent to Each Other
