Wayward Light - Episode 1: I'll Make You Proud 

It’s finally here! A massive thanks to the team and to our supporters. Wayward Light is a labor of love and we couldn’t be happier to finally begin the journey. Next up, episode 2! But in the meantime, don’t forget to check out our public discord server for updates, events, and general Wayward Light shenanigans: discord.gg/9y5y8cN4

this episode was super cool! The animations were nice and it was cool to see the mix of 2D and 3D! I look forward to seeing how the story goes ^^

My first thought was: “Why is the moon broken?”

This turned out better than I could have ever hoped! I am so excited to see where this journey takes us!

Dude it should be illegal that you only have 186 subscribers.

Great job!! Great first episode!

Amazing episode Inky! The animation is so clean and beautiful and I adore the character designs! 💙💙

I am SO EXCITED! The adventure is finally here and I am READY for it!

This was such a treat, holy moly!! I love the characters and how nice the storytelling is going, as much as the dynamics between the characters ❤️ I wonder what the dad is up to... Worried for Cody, ngl... Really looking forward to see more! 👀

I can tell you've put so much time and effort into this, and I'm so excited for future episodes. Best wishes as you continue this project!

This series looks super interesting so far :0 I love the mix of 2D and with the 3D backgrounds. The lightning and coloring also looks really good, especially the atmosphere in the prologue! The characters play off of eachother really well ^^ I look forwards to seeing where this series is going!

Absolutely going to stress the hard work and effort put into this series already. I can feel the love that went into it, the depth of the characters, and it help keep the pace of the story as well as deliver on the 'show don't tell' rule which was exceptionally well done. Bravo. The teasers at the end---chills. The music and sound design, character differentiations, teasings to things going on without bombarding the audience, all check. It felt natural and that's the aim of the game. I want to shout out to the remarkable writing team that worked on it--I can tell, you guys know what you're doing and it was a great immersive experience. It shows. Shoutout to the voice actors, and of course Inky. Hopefully the series can get traction sooner than later (it's so hard to gain traction these days) but I know this series will blow up eventually and it'll only be a matter of time. I'm glad to say I was here in the beginning! Love the episode. Stoked for more and all the characters to come together (intro music was great btw). Eager for the next one, good luck!

What an amazing first episode! Already we've have a lot of world building going on and the basis of character dynamics. Can't wait to see what else is in store!

WOAH!! New subbie!! found this and was amazed! i cant wait for part 2, this first one was so details and well- i could rant on on and but im not going to- It was amazing!!!

6:34 kiba giving the serious stare at cody gets me. 😂

This was both awesome and fabulous!!! I mean the animation is awesome and I'm lov'n the relationship between Cody and Kiba the mother and son relationship is just so cute 😻😻😻 and the foreshadowing is just so wow I can't wait to see you again in episode 2 this going to be amazing 🤩🤩🤩 oh and the fight scene was both awesome and spectacular!!! And little baby Cody was so CUTE 🥰🥰🥰 and Cody get raspberries on his belly was so cute 🥰🥰🥰and Cody wanting his father approval is kinda sad but I hope that Cody gets what he's after in the end and the eye's glowing on the characters is 😎 cool Cody Is just all around Adorable. The burning scene part loxie looked so miserable and when Cody said that he wanted to make his father proud why was he so angry 💢 as I looking at the fireworks 🎆🎆🎆 scene too I was like WHAT'S BOLTS PLAN, ON DOING WITH THOSE and also lov'n the dog with the bow lov'n her accent. I know I said a lot but I just really enjoyed this episode

2d and 3d together? Epic

Wow this was beautiful!

Early Christmas gift!!!!! Thank you for this awesome series that I can't wait to see blossom 🌸🌸🌸

This is so underrated the designs so unique

This is now one of my favorite youtube series, I’m sure episode 2 will be fantastic! Complements to the cast, they did an amazing job!

OH MY GOD This is absolutely incredible! The mixture of 3D backgrounds and 2D animation was PERFECT. The characters were so cool and well written and oh my GOD the animation!!!!!! I haven't found a series like this in like forever! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the story XD

While I do have my critics with this episode, I am still glad you are your team were able to start out this show. It's not my cup of tea unfortunately, so I probably won't be keeping up with it, but I can tell later down the line this is going to be a fantastic show and I hope this show continues to grow and become better throughout the process.

OMG !! Ok I don't post comment very often but just... woaw. I am so so so so impressed by your work ! Everything is done wonderfully !! the designs, storyboard, dialogues, humour and especially sound designs !! I am beyond excited to see more of this serie !! The interactions between the 3D & 2D works so well ! It is very hard to make it work but you just nailed it !!!

My goodness, I expected this to be epic but I had no idea I’d be craving more so quickly!!! Look at how cinematic and fun the environments, magic and characters, everything are!!! Amazing job to you and your team ✨🐾💧💜

Xenium fox suggested taking a look at this series. I’m REALLY looking forward for the next episode. The world and story seems fascinating, I adore the art style and I’m loving the character designs!

Finally had the time to sit down and watch and omg this episode never fails to disappoint! The 2D and 3D mix medium is so cool! And that fight scene?!?! The phasing for that is perfect!! This episode is really good and I can't wait on what's in store for Wayward!!

amazing! im so invested! the characters, plotline, art, everything! looking foward to ep 2!

GAAAH I MISSED THE PREMIERE BUT OH MY GOD!! Inky!! IT’S HERE!! This is everything I expected and MORE! Wayward Light is such a special project, I’m so excited to see the product of all your hard work at last!! For real, you outdid yourself here! The storytelling is absolutely incredible, you have a way with writing realistic characters and interactions that really makes this series something special. Kiba and Cody are SO adorable, I’m actually sobbing at how well they play off of each other and how fun it is to watch them!! And that opening scene was so cool! The way you started out with Cody humming to himself, and that suspicious raven hanging around… it was the perfect way to get me hooked right away!! And dude that fight scene was glorious! The way that the ice looks is so good, and that is difficult to get right! I absolutely loved the pacing and shots, and Cody and Kiba’s catapulting canine maneuver was SO COOL LEJDLWJDJFB And we love to see Bolt totally not buying fireworks for any nefarious purposes, none at all…! xD But seriously. I could gush over how good this turned out all day! Incredible work Inky and team, everyone who worked on this absolutely KILLED it! Wayward light is going someplace special for sure! Sending all the support for production on episode 2!

Great work! Keep up the great job!! Looking forward to the next part.

As someone who’s new to this channel, I just wanna say that this is amazing! The environments are beautiful, the character designs are unique and expressive, I love everything about this! This is such high quality, and I cannot wait to see where this series goes next

Second comment! Let's go!! Yes finally I have been wanting to watch this series!

Okay, first off, I love the way you incorporate the 2d animation into a 3d setting, which is breathtaking! The animation is fluid and I love the characters so far in the series!

THIS IS SO GOOOD! The world is so well developed already, esp the city, and the action scenes are super clear and fun. The characters are great so far too, like omg the interactions are all really fun and I’m so curious to see where this goes next!!

anyone else get a weird deja vu from cody's look and blue hair or is it just me cause i swear i remember seeing something similar years ago

This reminds me quite a bit of My Pride with notable differences. I love the fact canines are prominently featured, especially mystical ones like Kiba.

wow ink! this is amazing! and *chefs kiss* to that camera work, it's such a treat to look at! this episode leaves so much mystery in store and i can't wait!!

I just watched the trailer before watching this and HOLY SHIT IT'S AMAZING. THIS IS AMAZING. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS????

wow this is awesome

Such an incredible episode. I was hooked from the start and now I like Cody even more!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!.

Woah! This is absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait for episode 2 and wish great luck on your journey ❤

I AM SO HYPED! HYPE HYPE HYPED!

GOSH!!! I am in AWE. Everything about this episode was very well made. I especially enjoy the 2D and 3D interactions. The animation is so fluid. I also appreciate the little details you added to the episode as well such as the sunrays through the trees while the characters walked by. Super cool and I’m definitely invested in this series! Good job.

This is the kind of content I was looking for 10 years ago

I’m so hyped for this!!! Can’t wait for the premiere!

Whoa,what an Amazing first episode and worldbuilding my dude,10/10 can't wait for more!!

holy moly! an animated series mixing 3D and 2D and it looks amazing? HURRAAAAY!!! this is actually really cool and I am interested to see where this show is going :D

Well done looking forward to the second episode

This is amazing the animation is so clean the music the voice acting all of it

OMG I LOVE THIS. I love the mix of 3D and 2d!! It’s so good!! How does this not have more views?? This is so amazing and I can’t wait to see how this goes!

this show has a good, consistent, art style, it has good music, lovely animation, and a good storyline! it is one of the best animated series' I've seen on RU-vid! keep up the good work!

THE HYPE IS REAL!!! I am SOOOOO ready!!!

Much cool

This is insane! I'm honestly super excited to see what happens next! You can feel the passion put into this, and it just makes this 10x better!!

i can feel my warrior cats phase coming back to watch this

How am I just now finding this!? This is amazing!

Where has this been for the last year for me? This animation is so smooth

Wtf this is SO UNDERRATEDDDDDDDDDDDD

I love the beautiful humming in the beginning.

5:53 LOL I FOUND THE FIRST FUNNY GLITCH XD Don't fret about it Ink it's hilarious and gives the ep CHARM and CHARACTER 😠

This was incredible!!! Everyone involved did AMAZING. (shoutout to my dad randy xoxo) this is just visually beautiful. I'm so excited to be a part of it, and can't wait for Artemis to show up >:D

I love the 3D background and 2d animation it makes it even better to me!

I couldn't help but notice that THE MOON IS SPLIT IN HALF!

Let’s goooo❤

All I need to see is the first part[This is so underrated!] Omggg

I dont even know how this looks so good. It looks like it shoukd be a game, not an animation. Great job, really!

This reminds me of a different series can’t remember what it’s called but this series has a similar art style to it, it was a series with wolves and one of the wolves was white with red eyes and blind haven’t seen the series in awhile but I like this animation style a lot for some reason not sure why

The animation is better than I expected. Great job! But the 3D realistic backgrounds clash with the art style of the characters to a degree that messes with immersion because it's so starkly opposing. I understand using 3D because it can be quicker and easier to get certain shots. So I want to suggest either using stylized painterly models and textures/shaders that mimic simplicity and compliment your 2D characters, and/or combining 2D and 3D elements for your BG's. Regardless congrats to you and the team on getting your first episode completed and out there. So much work went in and you were able to setup something fun and interesting. :)

Awesome

This is absolutely incredible

I'm blown away, the art is really nice and the 3D backgrounds are fascinating! I love Cody's design, Kiba is interesting, the powers were cool and used well, the mystery is set up well... I will wait for episode 2 patiently =)

I absolutely love your style!! It’s something you don’t see very often in the Animation RU-vid community but it definitely serves your art plenty!! Phenomenal work❤

can't wait for more! LOVE IT!

Amazing animation! I can tell you put a lot of work into this.

beautifully well done

This is something I"d aspire to be able to create a similar work someday, it's awesome that you're creating this, keep goin!

This is awesome!!!

THIS IS SOOOO UNDERRATED WHAT

Wow that's awesome. I wonder what happened next.

Wow, that was a great first episode. My best wishes for all the team behind, this is inspiring. Also the combination of 3D and 2D is stunning. I love the character designs, they are so expressive. The music also...

9:04 Epic!

I got to say I actually like this a lot plus I like the sound songs and stuff like that that you have within the background you're doing a wonderful job keep up the amazing work

This is pretty rad

You're so underrated!

why is the animation so fireeee

Love it

omg this is amazing :o

This remind me of Naruto and the Ninetales karma

Where was this video hiding for 8 months?! ❤

This reminds me of the stolen hope only there's no cats unless there the bad guys
