    Thank you to all the kickstarter supporters who helped make this happen.
    GODSPEED follows the journey of Iris, a young woman, and her adorable karaoke-bot sidekick named Bowie as they navigate the desolate landscape and abandoned homes of their crumbling world. Her path takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon a mysterious broadcast that holds the key to their escape. To get the message, she must survive a planet-ending storm.
    Featuring the voices of Troy Baker (The Last of Us), Claudia Black (Farscape, The Nevers), Bryce Charles (Big Nate), Coty Galloway & Olan Rogers (both from Final Space) and a few surprises.

You can see their life story just by looking at the house with how they lived. The world buried them in darkness and they put up walls of light and streamers to celebrate. And then they went out on their own terms after expressing their wish to never be forgotten. I just can't sing enough praises for this.

      yes I was wondering if producers and co producers is just a title to those who supported the project with money through kickstarter or patreon or something. I just cant figure out what else so many people would do in a production. This pilot is well done but it isnt like the highest of the high in production quality and it isnt a movie lenght either. So it has to be something else. I am very aware of how many people can be in a production but with this limited style of animation and voice actors/characters, it is hard to imagine that so many people worked on it unless i am unaware of a huge production pipeline that started out to pop up. No disrespect to this pilot. i like it a lot and hope to see more and wish everyone here a great succes. very well done

    This is so creative. I love the scene with the mother and child outside the gate. Within the span of a minute you know everything that is going on. It seems that either the sun blew up or there was an attack that led to evacuation. And it makes sense for why everyone on the outside of the town would try to get in and its sad that its so bad that security is forced to have them step back throughe extermination. So while evrryone is frantically fighting or running, there are those who all they can do is hope. And sometimes, if you encounter the right people, hope is all you need.

      That is pretty much cliché at this point, story old as humanity. Idea created by early humans who had average life expectancy of 35years to live unless simple scratch would kill them early. What can you do in that 35 years specially if you are just simple peasant nobody, so you are remembered. In truth there is very little. Can you for instance even name your great grandparents or generations before that, with out them being some note worthy general or soldier, inventor or related to some famous person in general? Still if you are good parent couple generation down the line might remember you with love, that is pretty much best you can ask for, specially these days. You could go with infamy route but that probably wont be good idea since it will curse your family down the line. Only option aside that is become mad lad, but that takes character you most likely wont have, but what you can do is forge your own live to be what you desire, make things with your own hands and build for instance homestead for your children to live middle of nature, away from corruption of the cities and global world, being self sufficient as possible and make with your own sweat, blood and tears place for them to grow safe and learn the skills they will need.. specially if shit hits the fan. That might be the maddest of lads who can achieve it, since it aint easy, so i raise hat to you if you can manage that.

    The only big criticisms I have is that some dramatic moments (i.e. giving the child the ticket) need to be a little snappier to match the mounting pressure of the situation and, completely my own opinion, limit dialogue a little more. Silence or ambience speaks very loudly on its own and further emphasizes dialogue when it DOES happen.
    Edit: 14:08-15:32 is a MASSIVE collection of what i'm talking about, masterfully done, not dawdling by holding the viewer's hand, creatively using speech as a background element, and no repeating "sad eyes" that instruct the viewer on how to feel. Everything is just enough to add to the wow-factor instead of taking from it.

      If you think this was good, season 1 of Final Space will blow you away! It takes a couple of episodes to get into it. The main character is an over-the -top idiot, and it's too easy to initially write him off as an annoying moron. But after a few episodes, you realize that he's the "lovable idiot with a heart of gold" trope done to perfection! And by the end of the season, you'll realize that this silly cartoon has taken you on a roller coaster of emotions. The voice at the end (her father) is the main character from Final Space (Gary Goodspeed). The ship (or rather its AI) is a major character as well, as is "Kingslayer", although he's just a kid in Final Space.

    This Pilot is a beautiful display of one of the reasons why I love animation so much as a genre. Not only was it breathtakingly gorgeous, it was a lovely mix of some of the things that make us human, and how we can express and explore them in stories like this. The line "Life has a way of taking the things that you love the most" hit me so hard, as well as that entire scene with Kingslayer explaining how he was Iris's father's best friend. There are a lot of difficult parts about being human, and the universe/world we live in, but if anything the fact that we're still going despite *everything* shows how strong our will to live and persevere is. Wonderful job to Olan and the entire cast and crew that worked on this, because it is simply amazing to see.

    I just love all the references to Finale space, like the cookie, Avocato being similar to the other cat character, the music bot giving positive kevin vibes. It almost feels like Her father is Garry from another timeline. I am just amazed how much detail you put into this. It really feels like a siritual succesor with respect to your past works.
