Petrichor V - The Commando | Risk of Rain Fan Animated Series

[@icetide9411]

The fact that Railgunner still got accepted is the best part. Sometimes you just need someone with a really big (and definitely illegal) weapon

[@crycatena]

She didn't get accepted, this will be her only appearance sadly.

​@crycatena so this will be in-game like squad of characters including Capitan, Commando, Bandit and someone else? I mean in game you with friends pick only up to 4 characters from 13 available, so do capitan see most of them only before mission. Am i right?

Love how railgunner is perfectly fine and unmendably unhinged at the same time

[@annenoose6444]

I once tried to animate the mercenary as someone who rather than just being a sword for hire was someone who really liked his job. The scene was him doing a job set to "Life is dream". And it ended with him saying this "The pay is erratic, the hours are all over the place and every day i may die..........and you know what? I'm happy". So i like stuff like this.

[@Rubiktor012]

I used to interpret Merc's personality as that of the silent one, but I always though "isn't that kinda already taken up by Huntress?" I'm gonna instead borrow your idea, thanks very much.

[@kingofblu2067]

Need to send it out :0 I’m interested

[@Crimson_Valor]

Sounds like it was an idea you scrapped? I’d love to see it it, even if it’s unfinished.

[@randyfinch821]

love how commando masks the ptsd-inducing mission gone wrong with telling a story of a relationship that he messed up. an awful combination of survivor's guilt and post-traumatic stress disorder making him feel the need to ALWAYS be braving the unknown. good story telling man

[@AngryTheGnome]

How did you manage to instill survivor guilt into a faceless soldier is amazing to me, so much emotions expressed without removing the helmet. if only the Halo tv shows producers knew anything about it.

[@blackh9604]

Bro this got me so tense, you know how to uses pauses/silence DEVASTATINGLY

[@crycatena]

Hehehehehe >:)

[@otamatonefan8996]

Even if this isn't canon, the personality of the characters really feel fitting to the story, and viable for real lore. And of course the Captain, absolutely immaculate representation of a skilled and wisened veteran, someone that catches onto even small details like in the preparation of Safe Travels and the unspoken danger he was requested for. It's very rare to see this kind of quality fanmade storyboarding and world-building, let alone with the accuracy to truly represent the morbid world of Risk of Rain.. Now it'll be time to see how the Bandit's sneaky tactics gets him on the ship. Imagining it is one thing, visualising it is another..

[@crycatena]

Thank you for the kind words! I have a pretty fun idea for bandit, hope you enjoy it when it comes B)

[@jaywalmoose9623]

I know basically nothing about this game but I'm fucking fascinated by the story being told here. Keep up the brilliant pacing, lighting, and shot composition

[@crycatena]

Thank you, i shall keep doing my best!

PLAY RISK OF RAIN I fugin love that game so much, 10/10 recommended

[@namelessiam7792]

[@khoatic414]

Risk of Rain is a top tier game, also the story seems to be completely different from the usual, so don't rely on this for information about the story

[@scrubslayer678]

"Bachelor of firing large weapons." Your animated series is genuinely something I look forward to, and I love how you characterize the Survivors. Heck, the dialogue with Captain and Commando absolutely astonished me. I loved watching Captain dig deep into why Commando wants to take the mission, only to be lied to.

[@DOCTORRGLASS]

Mentally unstable is beautiful ten out of ten grazzi grazzi

[@schnerba]

Ror2 has some of the greatest potential for being a show/movie now that I think of it

[@EnkiDootDoot]

Oh wow. This is something special…man that hard cut at 4:53 really brings home the kind of baggage Commando’s carrying

[@UsurperEntropy]

6 hours... a small time to wait for PEAK...

[@keyternal]

i think this is the most fitting voice acting I've ever heard holy shit

[@ReaganMoyer]

This is definitely a case of "We will watch your career with great intrest" Like seriously this looks sick

[@microwavedsal4299]

Aww what a cute little guy- OH MY GOD THEY BURNED IT TO A CRISP WHYYYYYYYYY GOD WHYYYYYY

[@sammyfox9109]

this has retroactively made playing as commando so much more melancholic. just some man escaping from one set of horrors only to be met with another hell. i always liked to imagine each of these people had thier reasons for taking up crew on the safe travels, but to see it rendered so clear really adds a lot. thank you for your amazing hard work

[@Jorclai]

the impact of the scene of commando's friends was really well plotted out overall this is beautiful, good job

[@Mil3o]

I cannot overstate this. This is the most underrated thing I've ever seen on the internet. Seriously, the quality is so high, I have no idea hoe it hasn't reached at least hundreds of thousands of views yet, because it deserves a million, minimum. The animation is incredible, able to give off so much personality and emotion in characters that don't even have visible faces, and also showing many details that most others don't do ( like the head nod at 1:23 ), adding more depth and showing the care that's put into it all. Not only that, the direction for how the scenes are structured combining the cinematography with writing, applying actual Hollywood-quality shot perspectives (for instance, Commando's foot moving when he starts getting nervous telling about the incident, or Captain's helmet slowly transitioning into Commando's) also makes this so much more polished and overall better. In addition, the dialog and the VA's dubbing is incredibly well done, demonstrating personalities, estabilishing tones and developing the scene/story in a way that is just unreal. Truly, in the most genuine way, impressive. The definition of 10/10.

[@crycatena]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you noticed the small things that I'm proud of! I hope to make each animation better than the last!

[@benasgale7723]

I might agree with you. This is talent and I am too dumb to read into it... I guess this is a good chance to learn.

[@S_N_O_W_U_Y]

Minur speeling erorr

[@BlindSpectet]

yeah, if you told me gearbox made this as an official trailer or something i’d believe you

[@adorabomber123]

The amount of subtle metaphors and moments of just sheer foreshadowing and tension are fucking insane. "Every good lie contains some amount of the truth" Wonderful job man

[@GobyGoober]

Commando more like uh uh commando Edit: Just finished the video, oh my god this is peak risk of rain!!!

[@AvalonAnthros]

WOAH. Oh wow... every scene of this was pure and unfiltered glory. Thank you for releasing this beautiful art into the world! The comedic beats with Railgunner set up the emotional tension excellently, and the radar dots too... oh wow. That...! I need to take notes!

[@crycatena]

Thank you for the kind words! I shall try to keep delivering in the future!

[@lagarde5782]

FINALLY, EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED, AN ANIMATED SERIES

[@JamesBondBurgered]

Holy shit this is great. I can’t wait for the rest of the cast

[@hyphen8d725]

This is, perfection. They say speed is war, but this is art.

[@vlad980]

[@archaos7735]

THIS IS FUCKING SICK BRO WHAT THE FUCK?! HOLY SHIT, GOOD FUCKING JOB 😭😭😭

[@Kindaire]

I couldn't help but smile seeing my two mains (Railgunner and Captain) interacting. Their personalities are so fitting!

[@linguinithe1st499]

Commando is already one of my favorite characters, and now I get to think of this awesome animation everytime I play him!

[@anwd8646]

The fan boy in me IS GOING OFF THE CHARTS! I have a major love for the Commando, just the simplicity of his play style combined with his Everyman Jack-of-all-trades skill kit in both the first and second RoR makes me enjoy playing as him. Anyways, I’ll be watching out for more of these, because I love this game, I love the ACR1D animation, and overall just want to see more! So, good work, and I hope you enjoy making the rest of this series!

[@Renegade029]

As a railgunner main, her interview made perfect sense to me. Also, giving commando some much needed love as the focus of your first episode was a great choice. I'm excited to see what comes next!!

[@Sleeepehead]

genuinely such an incredibly cool short film, i have a feeling the Captain knows the Commando is lying to him and let's him onboard anyways. i am really excited to see how the story continues. the huntress is my favorite character and im curious to see if you factor her or the other survivors into the story. keep it up!!!

[@superswagturbo8183]

Coming from someone who's played and loved this game for a few years now, this feels incredible

[@dazeo4393]

the captain is so perfect wth

[@Zeptoid]

I was so fucking mad when it ended! Iegit forgot i was watching a youtube video and a whole ass tv show. Really hope to see more in the future

[@Rubiktor012]

I never would have thought an unhinged personality would have worked for someone like Railgunner, a character that requires precission to be effective. Until I remembered that her main means of travel is blowing herself up with landmines. Also, I love the designs you did for the other soldiers, definitely looks like actual official designs. And the little details, like Captain squinting his helmet's "eyes" at 4:35. Overall amazing animation! Can't wait to see what Bandit will be like.

[@mionwhatshisface526]

Bro, this is literally so frickin good, like holy. ROR fans are eating GOOD with high effort animations like this. Keep up the good work!

[@TheSquishyBoi]

It took me a few seconds of going over this to think, A part of me believes that the commando himself lit that match in order to cover up his record, causing him to linger at the scene at the sobering realization of what he'd just done.

[@sareruno]

This is amazing, I hope the algorithm blows this up. Way too Underrated

[@metallicsquid]

i love the detail of the lights on captains visor dilating whenever he speaks! its such a nice touch

[@hennhales]

[@huntress084]

why the HELL am I not getting notified for these. That's basically cutting me off life support

[@Sunny_Haven]

I'm surprised you gave Commando a more personal story because to me, in Risk of Rain 2, he is like _the_ generic soldier type. There are multiple Commandos throughout the menus of the game and on the moon surrounding the rescue ship. His lore entry as to why he was with the UES Safe Travels is literally just him being reassigned lol, without much characterization other than him being good at his job. It makes Commando stand out more when the rest of the cast is a lot more unconventional (it's why he's one of my favorites). Not that it was a bad decision, this was fun to watch! I guess Commando being more generic doesn't work for a (presumably) character-focused series, which is probably why you changed it.

[@crycatena]

Yep, exactly!

[@wawadog]

Commando has always been one of my favorite video game characters despite the lack of emotion or lore of him, this makes me really happy I always thought a risk of rain series would be amazing. Commando x Captain best rarepair

[@jacobbesler3214]

It takes skill to convey emotions ranging from suspicion to sympathy on a featureless tri-optic, much less make it like normal function of the helmet. Well done!

[@remnai4615]

really sick, seems like this took an insane duration of time. anyhow, assorted thoughts: man captain sounds *tired*. fits him honestly, he seems like the type to have five coffees before he starts the day commando seems like he's just...hurt honestly. poor guy, from what it seems he lost his friends/people he cares about, and is just...numb now, given that he doesn't seem to care that he's back in a war now that his friends are gone. and then there's the detail of railgunner just shooting down a random ship at whatever facility she's in. don't know how she fired the gun but it was pretty cool.
