if there is no human condition explored in the story, then there is no connection with the reader unless you can just make a suspenseful story of circumstance.

but not only is that hard to do, its not engaging.

i guess you're right

Post example of animation

maybe the robot should exhibit human like behaviors?

>>18675381

do the robots have human qualities of some kind?

Maybe, i don't know. It just has to make sense i guess, i'd have to justify it scientifically or practically.

>robot is tending to humans in hypersleep
>there is one qt3.14 in a pod that he has a crush on
>there are no mirrors on the ship so the robot is not self aware that it is a robot (it can only see its humanoid hands, but the rest of it is clearly robotic)
>it fantasizes about the life it will share with the qt
>makes an elaborate display for the qt to see when it wakes up and the robot will profess its love
>it catches its reflection in some shiny material
>becomes aware that it's just a machine and it is bound to the ship
>the robot has to cope with the fact that it will have to spend the next 1,000 years looking on at the qt that it will ever be able to love
>post credit roll shows the qt waking up and looking happily in the direction of the robot but then runs and hugs her husband and kid that we're also in hypersleep

Sounds like a cross between Soma and Passengers. Very cool.

Hmm I'll have to check those out. I was just basing it on the fact that sometimes the thing you love isn't meant to love you back and you have to learn to deal with that and play with the hand you're dealt.

ask on /tv/, they have screenwriting threads there sometime
