Ethan - Decaying Winter Short Film

[@Pei2901]

The duel with the sledgehammer was truly an average experience

[@joshuamontoya4864]

Real 😖

[@Teleporter_Goin_up]

He the only one who didnt get his skull opened in 2, that would've been epic to see the red shove thing for like 5 seconds, but we got this incredible animation, hats off

[@something.1290]

still cant believe red just decided to drop this game and work on some old time's game.. like just look at how the community is working on it trying to push out lore cinematics and theyre good on it as well. im trying to get into the lore but theres just soooooooooo little i can find it makes me not wanna search for the lore of the game. taking out 4 months of ur life for this is legit insane and i wish i could help on some stuff but im rock bottom on roblox studio and stuff lmao. absolutely amazing animation also thank you zym for pinging everyone on discord for this (also sorry if my english was bad im not a native speaker)

[@User-sn8bn]

Have you visited the Decaying Winter wiki yet? There's a specific section for the game's lore there, you just gotta look it up. It also might not be 100% canon out of some details were from Demise of Eden but still covered the general events pretty well.

[@something.1290]

@@User-sn8bn nah i didnt check the wiki.. i will now though. And also idc if its not 100% canon anymore like just make some stuff up that make sense and ill legit listen to you for hours lol. Its just sad to see such a cool concept and a game just get left behind. I also hate history so that might be why im so sad over her decisions but oh well thank you again!

[@JesterlyCharles]

To be fair on Red's end, it was horrible to code with all the spaghetti which was used from SoF and UMG. She doesn't wanna take years on just one game's development, which is why she moved ownership over to Zym!

[@something.1290]

@@JesterlyCharles well fair enough looking at it from a dev perspective but personally i dont mind some funni bugs. Like i played a dusty trip when ir came out and oh boy that thing was almost worse from goat sim and even worse when jandel took ownership. But you know what? I got a hell lotta clips with my friends just goofing around. Also did she transfer ownership or did she just abandoned it and zym took over? (Idk much about the transfer cuz i dropped roblox for some time after i got a new pc and only played dw for like a week before it got taken down) So yeaa even one ofthe devs rn in the recent qna said that arch's code from 2017 scares them so yeah. Fair enough. Im still sad they wont update the game with lore though. Also i didnt olay umg or sof so i wouldnt know arch's phases during them like mental and stuff

[@JesterlyCharles]

@@something.1290 She had finished the game with Last Strandeds which was an extra update even, Zym took over way later in which Red transferred ownership because she had left the project by then.

[@condensed_sam]

Peak cinema. The British Guy cameo literally had me screaming. Also, idk if Azriel is going to make a reappearance, but it’d be so chill if he did. Regardless, I’ll still be super psyched for the rest of Slush & Sorrow!

[@Sturetrn]

Man... Those 4 months really worth it, really good animation, keep going

[@untitledanimator6065]

Gonna watch this like a movie, with popcorn and drinks… Absolute cinema.

[@tacticalguy8046]

daym nice

[@tymektheplayer]

everybody gangsta till lore accurate sovereign comes in

[@Axxquix]

Dude...this was actually so sick! I loved just how well made this was: the fight scenes were fire (w choreo), the lore and the characters were so cool (I don't play decaying winter but I just loved the lore of the characters), bro the backgrounds...it's just pure peak.....keep this up bro you the chef ongg

[@Dr_DeliXP]

Great video I liked everything! However I think the author needs to try showing Ethan or other main characters getting wounds as sign of them being in retirement before getting involved because there were instances where I'd be good to show how dangerous Scavengers can be in mere moments after a mistake is done. I dunno how Jean could be a leader of the scav group when he looks like a teen. Also in 14:07 it'd would be not bad to see certain beaten up scavs to get concious and start retreating. We need more of Bartender! (serving them sudden lead poisoning :3) If you could reveal if there's gonna be Immolator among the cast that'd be cool

[@condensed_sam]

Jean’s canon age is 17, but I can see him starting a small scav gang with enough mojo.

[@imjustaguy1721]

Dayum this was banger. I really hope there will be a Vagabond character that starts hearing voices from his sword that tell him to go kill. And the more dogtags he has the harder it is to keep sane and he just goes full psycho mode and starts slashing all the scavs and keeps laughing like joker until he dies in the middle of enemy lines because he gets outnumbered. I have a personality thought out for almost every decaying winter perk and i would love to see atleast one

[@GenzoGamer-fn6wb]

That's the best idea fr

[@r.im.e]

Apostle would be cooler actually, just like chainsaw man he starts to killing ppl with his cursed demonic arm with Dave

[@imjustaguy1721]

@@r.im.e Idk man through my gameplay as Apostol i found out that you are like a single father who is so sick of his children who just die from a random blitzer while they are slashin heads. And than they get stuck and you get that feeling "Ahhh not again where is he now"

[@SimplyAblock]

ethan got that advanced combat training

[@aceaviator2175]

This is genuinely the best roblox animation I've ever watched, outstanding job, script is very polished too

[@Lightboxy]

Absolutely beautiful work as always Kanako. You did an AMAZING job. Making something this long is no easy feat, but this amazing to watch throughout. Keep up the good work, looking forward to what you make next :D

[@KevyChevy]

bro amazing work on your short film!! not only you captured the mysterious elements but you also blended in different animation styles which was cool to see! the pacing was nice and slow and it seems like you have more plans for Ethan and his crew! can’t wait to see more, proud of you🔥

[@besenfr]

Big props to that sledger in the bar. He probably could have won without Ethan's plot armor

[@tristan_the_squeaky_lilplu6276]

This is a great Animation short film to begin with, No wonder it so smooth, the Blood physics and such, It very well done. 10/10

[@tvnothere5408]

Peak DW animation right here! There’s alot to run down into this ngl. But what I love about this is how raw the combat is I forgor to add this after i edited my comment. I cant help but notice that the dialogues tend to be abit unreadable. But hey, this is just the first after all

[@takuyayagami6821]

The first best decaying winter animation

[@nikitaf93real]

14:30 its the emesis blue reference where the medic falls and stuff

[@Jiban5589]

We've placed a ridiculous amount of references across the short film, so have fun finding 'em.

[@KrozZzYtb]

This is absolutely peak short film and the most unique one in Decaying Winter community, W for Kanako 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Sigmarizz381]

So real kruzzz

[@rock12125]

Omg, that was so good. I love the plot so far and I can’t wait for a continuation, and as a decaying winter fan I feel as this is a love letter to the game❤❤❤❤

[@GoodOlMadly]

This was.. REALLY.. GOOD! I genuinely can't express how much I enjoyed watching this, Genuinely looking foward to the first episode!

[@angelomybrother9377]

This took 4 months.. YET THEY ACTUALLY HAVE MY EXPECTATIONS? Good job! Sub 4 you :)

[@doctorpink3105]

I hope theres going to be more episodes currently im liking everything i feel like its a bit weird that jean whos the leader of that small group look more like a teenage boy then he is to a scavanger but thats my personal opinion hope theres going to be a part 2 :) also i love you soo fucking much for adding a sof referance

[@AntisBasement]

PEAK. ABSOLUTE PEAK. ABSOLUTE CINEMA. PEAK. PEAK. PEAK. I have no other words to describe this animation.
