Fun Fact: The Gothic Cathedral asset pack is now free on the marketplace only for this month lol

[BluejaySerenade]

I didn't even notice that most of the backgrounds were asset flips because they have such a unique vibe like nothing else. MD is amazing at creating atmospheres that really add to the story without taking away from the characters themselves. Can't wait to see more of Glitch Productions' projects!

How'd I miss these recent MD videos?!?! Genuinely gonna be traumatized because of this.

"The Golden age of Indie animation"
I coined this back when Murder Drones kicked off which was I believed after episode 3 or 4, eitherway
It's nice to see other people referring to this era other than myself.

[MirbeYt]

indie animations are honestly better than shows made by big studios these days ngl

[Dedelblute]

What’s cool is that if you just watched MD, you wouldn’t even realize that at its core it’s just a modular environment from unity.
The editing is just that cohesive and good.

Personally, it was going from episode 7 back to the pilot that really blew my mind. The quality difference is astounding, and I'm so happy they didn't rush this new episode, but took their time in polishing the scenes and animation. It makes a massive difference, and there's something about seeing the show sort of come into its own; pilot being obviously testing the waters of story and pushing the boundaries of what they can animate, and by episode 7 it really becomes a defined show that knows what it's on about, flexing their fight scenes and subtle background actions that just makes me fall for this show more with every new episode.

The humans in murder drones LOOK like shadows because that’s what they are meant to be. Because the robots are the main characters and not the humans which is usually the other way around this is probably why murder drones is so loved and unique 😊


OMG IM POPULAR

[justcallmecat]

The look of the humans gave me a "bendy and the ink machine" vibe, which to me made the flashback more tense, and it really worked

This is such a magical time to be alive. There may be stuff that sucks in this time, but we also live in an era where the average person with a dream can get the technology to make them come to fruition, even if it isn't an immediate manifestation yet. These were the kinds of things that were only possible with massive studios that policed what could or couldn't be done because of higher-ups they had to answer to.
It's all the more reason why freedom of expression is so important; to make individual expression possible and have a chance to compete. Obviously there are some objectively immoral/evil/illegal things that shouldn't be platformed at all, but that's its own topic.
Massive studios suck nowadays because they're trying to appeal to as may people as possible to the point where their content is relatively sterle. Indie productions may technically have smaller fanbases, but they're more of a dedicated cult following because the studios are able to cater to their fans better.

In the future, indie animation will have completely dominate major companies like Nickelodeon. It isn’t a matter of time before indie animation gains a huge hit worldwide

[Snekgod]

Helluva boss and Md are the 2 best indie animations out there

[anonimoanonimo]

"Making an Indie cartoon on a budget"... Dude i feel so bad for the animators/producers. They deserve so much more...

[sailortara]

I really hope it gets a second season of murder drones

[gxfstgr]

i think you should make a theory on the part of mass destruction on murder drones where khan says "If my wife's closet is right, the planet's gonna try and eat us soon"

[JrFFoo]

It’s so funny how the indie cartoons are performing better than the studio created shows

[YoBoyNeptune]

Shows like murder drones validate my preference for 3d animation

[darkreflection]

Indie Animations are dominating because they have the heart love and care that companies lost

[theseeker]

If you want me to give a math/science outlook on this, “solver of the absolute fabric” could be referring to the solver of the universe. The universe is always trying to move towards entropy, and so either it’s manifesting itself in this way to accelerate entropy, or the self-learning program has learned of the universe’s goal and believes it to be a good one. Just putting this out there.

[senatorium]

I like how I genuinely couldn't tell for a bit that MD uses bought assets. Honestly kinda impressive.
