If you liked the Dark Crystal movie, this is more of that. I think it looks great with a very good voice cast.

For me, the show takes itself too serious, no comedy and I think some scenes are overly disgusting. I'm not going to continue watching.

Hello snowy,

Just rewatched the DVD movie and redeemend a 15 € voucher cause I was simply too curious. :)

You are right; very close to the movie with respect to both story telling and voice acting. I think they found the right  balance between puppet show and modern CGI productions, but it definitely feels like Jim Henson's work from the 1980s with lots of details.

I have watched now 2.5 episodes and can confirm that the tone in general is (as in the movie) very serious, but at least episode two and the first 20 minutes of episode three include some funny things as well. The background story with the seven Gelfling tribes is also very promising.

The bitter pill is:

Knowing the prologue of the 1982 movie, I am afraid that this cannot have a good ending. :(

However, thank you for the information.

Jack

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
