I feel that the current thrive opening cutscene looks dated, despite cleverly depicting the theme of the game. I thought it would be fun if I had a crack at a new thrive cutscene. I am not saying that this has to replace the current one, but what it could look like. This is version 1, and I might create better versions in the future.  |

I'm conflicted on this, as while the idea you have is actually quite cool, it *is* using different intro music than what it should be using (current intro music is what I believe to be the definite piece), and it could also do with some effects and a bit more detail with the models, which I'm certain you can improve on.
As in more detail, I mean things like slight shading to have a more realistic tone.
Also, while animations are smooth, they could *again* be the slightest more realistic.
A bit nitpicky, I know, but that's my input.
I'll vote "yes".

Thank you for your feedback!
I've started working on a better version of the cutscene already, and I will use the music out of the original cutscene from now on. The main reason the details and animation was lacking was A. I am doing this on a MacBook Air (Blender eats CPU for breakfast), and B. It was just a test, to see what I could come up with.
Thanks!

I really like how it highlights actual parts of the game. Don't get me wrong I like the current cutscene but it doesn't really tell you anything about the game.

Wow that's awesome ! Looks really professional. Maybe the animals could be a little transparent ?

The new cutscene is awesome even if it's just a rough concept. I love how alive it feels. Do you think you could include a little bit of every stage somehow?

This is beautiful!
Then again, it doesn't really fit the current state of the game, which is still in unicellular stage. I think once (if we ever) progress to the aware stage this intro could play if your most recent save file is in aware stage. This could be done for every stage.
But right now, the old one is more fitting imo.
Also, I have some slight issues with the color scheme. The jellyfish are a bit too saturated in my opinion, this kind of reminds me of the cartoony spore-look wich Thrive hopes to avoid.
I hope this isn't too harsh, it's supposed to be constructive criticism:)

The main reason I could only do a little bit was because it took a whole day to render, also if it was longer, I don't know what music would go in. But I'll definitely be making the cutscene look more appealing (and a little bit longer) for version 2! |

I'd recommend listening to a few stage soundtracks (Oliver's channel, Oliver Lugg, has quite a few), and picking out the little best bits from each one to fit in with the respective stage in the intro. 'Tis what I'd do, anyway. |

I really like the concept! If it were to be improved I would use the current cut scene's music and maybe have the camera jump out the ocean to see a spaceship scanning a tribal village or something like that.

Looks great, good job! I voted yes.
Although it's a bit misleading as the current game only has the cell stage

I'm making my own version of that new cutscene right now. Because why not?
