[@SenseofNoneYT]

Damn... I think we need a team-building exercise. Or therapy. Probably both. A lot of things we need to have a heart-to-heart about. My thoughts: 1. I'm guessing Letty is not happy about Eleanor's condition. Feels like Letty always has her guard up when it comes to her. Probably warning everybody else that Eleanor could turn hostile from the infestation any second. Eleanor is aware of this and it eats away at her (figuratively and literally). From the lines I heard in the mall, she's a nice person but seems to have low self-esteem or that she hates something about herself. 2. Quincy is not a big fan of how Amir is acting. In his eyes, Amir seems to be having a little too much fun in these dark times. It probably annoys him to no end that Amir can't seem to take anything seriously or that Amir play around too much. Amir can probably feel animosity from Quincy. 3. Aoi has feelings for Arthur. But more than anything, she's worried about him. Arthur seems like the responsible type, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. And Arthur cares for his team. Can push himself too far for others, and for the mission. Awesome job on the short, The Line! Pretty much every cut looks beautiful. Awesome slo-mos and action cuts. Some cool transitions here and there too. I think the art-style fits WF1999 perfectly. I know how much work this has been already, but I can't help but want more.

[@MFAN1100]

From the lines in the mall, Amir also seems to have some mental issues, which is probably why he's "having fun" with it as he's likely trying to cope with whatever's going on in his head.

Not as in "how good the animation is" but "how much efforts would be required to go into each frame". Ascension Day's style is more simple. Plenty of blurry or less detailed or reused backgrounds, some "slide camera over static backgound" narrative scenes and very snappy movements compared to the ones in 1999. It's not "bad" or "less good", just requires relatively less (still a lot of) efforts for the same length in comparison.

No, definitely not- Amir's been known to be Volt's Protoframe, and Arthur Excalibur's. In fact, the only one that ISN'T a previously known frame is Quincy- likely Cyte-09's Protoframe. It's interesting to see the Hex showing it so openly, even if it is admittedly known if you watched the devstreams. Makes you wonder what the other Frames had for Protoframes- outside of Umbra, and I guess Jade too. And Xaku, can't forget them.

I want my Warframe fashion after seeing you guys finally fix an ancient code to allow silky hair! (Even Kubrow fur!)

[@maikocat]

They said in a dev stream that in the process of making the Protoframes, they had to update their hair code, which will be coming to operators and drifters (and probably kubrows and anything else with hair) either at the same time, or soon after. Hairframe is coming, trust!

[@MFAN1100]

@@maikocat They mentioned it in the recent devshort that they fixed the lighting effects for hair.

[@FlameForgedSoul]

That Rachel/Sean Young in Bladerunner 'do all but demanded it.

[@IXONERU]

They just made an animation of players farming loot between transitions feel cool

[@vesmoper]

Could be the best update this game ever gotten

[@spaceageGecko]

Honestly even just a series about the Hex would be great, expensive but great.

[@Hasediel]

And then comes the Drifter. Super powerful, handsome/hot, void magic, and immune to the Infestation! I'd feel pretty bad, if I were a Hex.

[@yiliumart]

Every year I feel grateful for being a witness of this game growth. Cheers! 🥂

[@Discerned_]

I mean, Nyx, with a tongue like that... Fellow tenno, hear me out...

[@Hawk-Eye-bs2hr]

Nothing compared to Nidus though😅

uh oh. so i was worried abt the relationship mechanic re: it's a little unethical to leave the group vibe in shambles and screw off back to my space 2-bedroom and guerilla warfare, but it appears the group vibe is already thoroughly in shambles

Hard to break what's already shattered. Not impossible though. We probably won't ruin them more, but by the void we could if we screw up

Who remembers recording this in theaters with a VHS camcorder?

[@UNSCPILOT]

Man I was starting to think no one else remembered where this came from, amazing what people forget in 20 years. Still got my favorite camcorder I recorded it on too, on account of the fact I can't put it down... for multiple reasons

[@0uttaS1TE]

I bet 1999 gonna be shadowdropped at The Game Awards. They keep talking about a major announcement. It has to be that. Beyond that, YOOOOOOO, THIS IS SICK, BRUV. Feels right that a game so heavily inspired by anime, and that inspired so many fan animations, would finally get a short anime of its own. Feels right. You can feel the tension between the cast as well. It's different to how the Tenno interact between eachother. They are bound by fate, more than honour or code.

[@addmen96]

Hope this won't be a railjack release all over again

[@0uttaS1TE]

​@@addmen96I hope not either. They cannot rush this, especially when so much is riding on it

[@gummyboots]

@@addmen96doubt it? They announced they delayed the unfinished part of the update and we will just get the stuff that’s done

[@safaiaryu12]

FYI, this isn't the first anime short they've done. They did one for Styanax, too!

[@ERBanmech]

I can see why the hex will need the drifter. They need a huge morale boost, and who better than one who’s mastered their own emotions. The hex is doing the same stuff on repeat and it’s getting old, it’s up to the drifter to break their indifference.

[@muntu1221]

How is it getting old? That's just called consistency. The themes of Warframe are about emotional maturity and finding one's self after trauma and loss. Most stories are going to be about that because they're building up the Tenno's arc, as well as challenging an entity that literally embodies isolation and depression. We've never had to deal with an actual cast of characters who were hostile to one another when they should've been cooperating outside of Teshin and Lotus.

[@ERBanmech]

@@muntu1221 my apologies, I had made an unclear statement. I was noting that everyone in the animation looks tired. The cycle of kill stuff and look for Entrati is obviously wearing on them.

[@MFAN1100]

@@muntu1221 It's "getting old" for them (the Hex), because they're doing the same thing day in and day out, and not making any visible progress despite likely knowing that their clock (the helminth strain in them) is ticking.

[@skeletoninyourbody9896]

​@@ERBanmech your statement is clear, the basement dweller just wants to argue about nothing it seems.

[@AtomicPineapple23]

@@muntu1221 I think he means the routine of the hex is getting old. Every day they go out, kill a bunch of people, fight infested, search for entranti, and nothing comes of all while slowly losing themselves to the technocyte

[@bookfish]

This is giving insane amount of Aeon Flux vibes and I'm so here for it.

[@takezokimura2571]

Barely any spoken words but you can tell this group is NOT ok. Distrust and fear, energy but recklessness, anger, obsession or perhaps weariness, and worry.

[@curtishammond6031]

This is one of the best surprises I have had in awhile. I really wasn't sure if I was going to like this but the ending and the storytelling 100% made it work this is awesome.

Eleanor's eye at 0:15, then her tongue and fangs at 1:18 - her infection looks to be progressing far faster than the others.

Wonder if it’s got anything to do with her psychic abilities. Maybe her psychokinesis makes her more vulnerable to the hive mind

[@kinslayergaming3159]

​@AtomicPineapple23 when farming Nyx she drops from an infested boss. So pre-1999 sort of establishes that Nyx may be more attuned to the infestation hivemind than other frames.
