Pre rendering 3d graphics was an amazing choice, because in point and click you don't often expect that it is 3d.  And I didn't realise until later that it was pre-rendered.  The ending seems more like a cliff hanger, and I hope it is resolved in a later version.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game itself is impressive, but what is more exciting is the possibility of making this a full game. \r<br\/>As a full game it was great,\r<br\/>as a teaser for a full game it blew me away.\r<br\/>Well done!"},{"author_name":"SonnyBone","author_uid":"1365","time":"Dec 23, 2011 @ 2:20am","epoch":1324606500,"text":"BEAUTIFUL RENDERS.

Incredible graphics work has obviously been done, which totally captivated me, and drew me into this strange world. Fantastic job!

A bit of sound, particularly some ambient sound for the environments (maybe not music, not sure music would necessarily work well) would have added a lot the the atmosphere.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I didn't really like having the eye as the default cursor. It meant that it was hard to tell whether something would have a little monologue description or not and so it led to a lot of random clicking on my part."}],"images":["ld22\/5821-130026289b8e1a9f37a0f6df3495008d.jpg","ld22\/5821-694e4b4fefed1181ecfc1369ab4ba8ab.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/matthewdivito.com\/zero2\/alone.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/matthewdivito.com\/zero2\/zero2_kato9_ludumdare22.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"31846","g_author":"5821","g_event":"LD22","g_eventkey":"8","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"31876","g_title":"ZERO2","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"43","g_commentcount":"31","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/87574\/5821-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/87574\/5821-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"ZERO2.
