Hey everyone,

I'm making this post because I'm really looking for some honest feedback from the Newgrounds community.

To be completely open: I've submitted 3 animations here before. They all passed judgement (thanks for the votes!), but across all of them, I've received exactly one comment. It's been a bit disheartening working in a vacuum, so I'm hoping this time I can get some thoughts from you guys—whether it's critique on the pacing, the animation, or the concept itself. I just want to learn and improve.

The Project: I've just finished the Season Finale of my solo indie series, "Heroic Quests". It's made entirely in Unreal Engine 5.

For this episode, I tried something ambitious: an Interactive Adventure (similar to Bandersnatch or In Space with Markiplier), but with a chaotic DnD/RPG theme.

The party faces a Troll, and YOU have to decide who takes the risk. There are multiple paths and endings depending on your choices.

Technical / Audio Note: Since I'm a solo dev with zero budget, I used ElevenLabs AI for the voice acting. I know it's not the Newgrounds ideal (I love human VAs!), but it was the only way I could tell this story with my current resources. The script, animation, lighting, and editing are all 100% human effort by me.

🎙️ Call for Voice Actors (Collab / Unpaid): That being said, I really want to move away from AI for the next episode! I am actively looking for voice actors who would be interested in collaborating. Since this is a zero-budget passion project, I unfortunately cannot offer payment at this stage. However, if you are looking for high-quality visual material for your demo reel or just want to voice some chaotic fantasy characters for fun, I'd love to work with you! Please DM me or leave a comment if you're interested.

Where to play: The video below is the Trailer/Intro. Because the interactivity relies on YouTube's End Screen linking system, the full playable experience is hosted there.

If you have a spare moment to try one path and let me know if the "game" mechanics feel fun or gimmicky, or if the comedy lands, I'd appreciate it more than you know.

Thanks for keeping indie animation alive!
