My fiancee was watching it through and thought the dialogue may have been a bit too fast... but at that point I didn't know how to easily slow it down without completely redoing the animation.
So here it is for those slower readers among us!
Turtle: Thank God! Comrade!
Turtle: Brother, I fear I may be compromising the mission. Turtle: I was guarding the princess Turtle: When suddenly I realized -
Turtle: Hey, Brother! Turtle: Brother?
Turtle: WAIT! Turtle: You'll fall in the-
Turtle: What... just happened?
OMG In other news, eventually I'd love to build something like this [link]
The fundamental flaw in the text speed is that people read at different speeds. It happens. Granted, until you're experienced enough to experiment with some pause/hold functions, you do what you have to. But my reading speed is right about average at I felt it was fine. I agree with the earlier comments on your dialog's pace - it's about as good as it can be. Good job. Can't wait to see more.
>My fiancee was watching it through and thought the dialogue may have been a bit too fast... I think it's just right for one reason: The turtle is going and isn't stopping. Talking turtle is too surprised at the guy not stopping and falling to his doom. The whole speed seems natural.
So... has our guard become sentient when he wasn't before or has Princess Samus' improvising had the side effect of "glitching the matrix" with horrible consequences for everyone in the castle, forcing turtle and Samus into a quest to restore "normality" (or what they perceive it is respectively)?
Red Koopas don't fall off ledges...
