Love the atmosphere, the set and the story flow. The strong message from this makes me think for the future.

[Boevaia_Pelmeha]

The percentages being high but always resulting in a failure is such an XCOM moment lol

[Blackimus]

Solid work, man. I had my suspicions since the start of the animation that the depressing feel of the environment, C13 herself and the ambience had to be related the reveal near the end. The build up certainly paid off with the reveal too. I personally really enjoy these slow-burn atmospheric animations, and the whole idea of the clones just screamed SOMA in my head.

Well done.

"Your turn now"
Kinda scary, hopeful, full of determination and heavy on responsability.
Great short!

[A_Pinocheat]

I love how this tells such a complex and intersting story with no verbal speech is amazing, I love it!

[ashraffhashrin]

Holy shit... That was sad, in a good way? I mean.. damn.. So Earth is uninhabitable by some some nuclear holocaust. A survivor made it to the moon, lived on said moon and cloned herself so she can continue a process to watch over the Earth in a sad life cycle of cloning... Damn that hits hard and to boot, she's actually hot!

Throughout the animation, I can feel the sense of determination slowly ebbs into despair and hopelessness as C13 keeps failing her DNA test to bring forth a new clone. Hell, her skin turning pale was a good detail too, evident of her nearing her life expectancy. However, I do wonder how they are gonna repopulate Earth with just her around... Maybe those human boxes actually suggested more than they seem.. Regardless, I also love the rulebook she set for herself. Pretty neat stuff. Anyways a wonderful animation Dominzki!

Here's to C14 to continue the cycle!

Jokes aside this was incredible. This and Assault on 2Fort are some of the finest female protagonist-led stories I've seen in SFM. The animation was fantastic, and the slow reveal that she was the only person on the spacecraft with all of the bodies of her past selves really reminded me of a Doctor Who episode Heaven Sent where he finds all the skulls and later realizes that each one was his and he's forced to repeat his experiences over and over until he escapes. Anyway, fantastic work my dude.

[filmz]

absolutely blown away by the animation. I don't usually like to comment on other people's videos, but this caught me by surprise. Can't wait to see what you cook up in your next video. So, soo good man!

I'm more amazed that they are using LG monitors in the future then the cloning death cycle

[AbyssalTitan]

What I have understood her whole life is basically a loop since that's her 14th clone
But every time she's close to her end she decides to make a clone of herself and copy to a new one
Since the last one took her 5 years of DNA research now her next life expectancy is 12 years
Probably as the years go by she could probably go 20 years or more

Also it's amazing how she can cope being isolated in a space station
It's really something impressive

Animation overall is 10/10

[multiplayerrkmedia]

The storytelling in this one was spectacular, and the unveiling of the plot from start to end was genius! I really like the concept of the story for this one!

[LoneTrooper]

Very good short. Gave me vibes of an episode of Love, Death + Robots

[SuperCityscan]

Good news
I autisted out a little and made a calculation that if we assume C1 lived for a whole year and ever later C lived at least as long if not longer and it's an exponetial growth with a linear factor, also that C1-C13 lived for 29 years then C16 will have a normal if not longer amount of lifetime.

[Josukegaming]

Wow this was genuinely incredible! Ive never seen someone use SFM in such a serious and unique way before. Femscout seems like a great fit for someone that works our every day, but not to a ridiculous degree, with her relatively fit physique.

[Nutzoze]

Absolutely incredible animation. Very intriguing and creative animation 🙏 Well done Dominzki

[SHRIMP_]

The frickin alarm clock gives me PTSD when I wake up to go to school every day for an entire 3 years!

[Luka_]

Great video. The animation style is great

[trucywrightforpresident]

Your use of camera made me realize how a good shot can elevate a scene. It was a pleasure to watch this film :D

[pootispencer]

I did not expect a masterstroke flourish of hope amidst despair here. The outright inspiring ending was really unexpected for this kind of scifi.

You have a knack for effective storytelling!

[danielosorto]

Amazing, don't understand how it doesn't have more views
