I really dont like river of pains take on the fall of Hadleys hope(turning it a gung hoo marine story(and much prefer this podcast. Looking forward to part 2.

As an aside I hope Disney look at this story now they have the IP. A series on netflix or amazon prime  showing the fall of the colony over 6 to 10 parts would be amazing.

This has inspired me to give the River of Pain a second listen.  While I don't like every aspect of the story, especially the bit about the marine and the little girl escaping to set up some sort of "Billie and Wilks" scenario, I have to say that a Netflicks series about the fall of Hadley's hope would be AMAZING!

That was good! No part 2 yet? Can't wait!  ;D

Early Feb for part 2, I believe.

Part 2 has been released. They've released it as part of a super-cut with Part 1. I've not had the chance to listen to it yet.

I love this

Love falling asleep to radio plays or audio books or podcasts
Can you post a link to the first part please. Some of us missed it

That is a supercut of Part 1 and 2.  :)

(C&P from the PO Facebook page) Finally had the chance to listen to this the other day. Really enjoyed it. I thought it was really well put together - it felt very professional. The acting was great, the sound design was great and I really enjoyed the original music (this alone helps these kinds of fan productions stand out!)

My only real issue throughout both chapters is the passage of time. Occasionally it just felt a little murky at times and jarring as a result. I think something needed to be done to make them a little clearer.

I liked the bleak ending. It works. Not everyone gets a happy story and obviously these guys couldn't have one either. That said...it is kind of abrupt. That both works and doesn't so I think that was something a no-win scenario going that way. I do appreciate it though.

I would have perhaps liked some more Alien involvement though I get what you were going by with the focus on the characters and I think that worked. The fan inside me just couldn't help craving the Aliens.

All in all, I really enjoyed this! There's so many ideas I have in my head for fan productions that I just don't have the time or patience to put down so whenever someone does and it turns out as well as this, I'm just so incredibly impressed. Well done to all involved!

Way too much use of music and the ending was abrupt, quiet and... abrupt.

Usually people make more noise when the aliens kill them.

But it was good.

Corporal Hicks

The abrupt ending was something I thought people would be so/so on. It worked for me. I also really liked the silence. I like it when the Aliens are actually shown to be stealthy.

Anarchist86ed

Yeah, but every alien kill hasn't been silent.

I get what they intended though.

XenoHunter99

That was good. The ending works. I might have picked a different ending, but OK. I guess we're not dissecting with spoilers yet.  ;D

Enjoyable. Everybody below pretty much summed up the big points. I like the ending. My only issue is the dialogue is way too unnatural many times. in the future they should read the dialogue aloud to people not involved with the project, preferably not friends or family either. Then take that feedback and trim the lines or rewrite them to improve the natural flow.

Perfect-Organism

Well done, just listened to part 2.  It was fun.  Very few awkward moments of dialogue.  Very forgivable.  I would have perhaps ended on a more violent note with some Alien sounds but it was not a bad ending by any stretch.  I wonder why Anne disappeared so silently..
