Uh... As I don‘t really know how to cut this huge Wall into pieces, I‘ll just go with numerizing the textblocks to react to them^^
So... into the frail!
1. Small block: Don‘t react to mockery, dear. Do your Job, ignore the trolls. The Game is great the way it is, with realistic Flip-Flops or not.
2. Big Block: Yes, the Quality of Renders is a matter of opinion. But there certainly are more stunning ones to find in here. For example the Character Models of the DeLuca Game are far more advanced in my eyes. Yet again: Don‘t let the Trolls get to your mood, dear. It clearly riles you up and this is exactly what they want.
As I stated in one or two prior posts, I‘d welcome a little toning down on Details of Backgrounds etc in order to improve the releasespeed. But, I‘m okay with waiting too, if that is your thing and you feel that you need it to convey your view of the game you make.
3. Big Block: Actually, there are such ppl who studied psychology and got their degree and all. Me for example.
And I appreciate that you care about the difference about those facial expressions. Way to many Games just sport standard ones, twisting written situations into absurdity with it. So thumbs up from me on this point there Mate.
4. Big Block: Yes and no. What you use as argument isn‘t basically wrong, but from a psychological pov the reaction of letting him feel the fabric of her bra, on the contrary, too much in a too short amount of time. Naturally, if not leaning towards this by their nature, parents feel a strong repulse after encountering incestual events within the family. Trying to gloss it over, ignoring the matter alltogether or, worse, scrutinizing it. So yes, I am critizising this element too. But that it‘s rather too fast to be real. With special point on the game itself and you don‘t can take ages now to really dive deep into this matter I understand that this was a necessary step to keep a story/time balance for it. So I‘m okayish with it although not enjoying that route or even pushing it.
Last Big Block: Hrm... Okay. So basically, If I understand you right, you say that you can‘t hire help, because you can‘t convey to this help what you want from it.
Correct me if I err.
This is a little paradoxic as you can convey to the player very well what you want from us to experience. This should enable you, on the other hand, to do the same workrelated to a coworker.
And there are several aspiring renderartists out there with the necessary hardware. Even I use the latest GPU, just for playing games though. As I‘m a writer and novelist, no code-monkey.
The mentioned concern of another person kind of ruining your scenes by a personal touch, well first of all that‘s called quality management and is a given. Yes, in the beginning it will consume even more time as if you‘d do the renders all by yourself, but as you come to a understanding with your coworker over time, it will pick up pace fast and be worth the while.
Your argumentation is the same shortsighted one most Corporationbosses use, if asked to invest into new systems to speed up the work. „No it will consume time and money if we do that, so where is the benefit.“ That comes after the investment. That‘s why it‘s called investment.
Maybe you should think about this a little more, as it will give you alot more time to concentrate on the project, if you can share the workload. Or, If you want to do a really crazy stunt...
Another worker for the renders, more renders. For example you can outsource the more static renders. Not all of those are customcrafted for every scene. Give a coworker those, that get reused. Etc.
Last but not least:
As I said before. AWAM is a fine game and I really enjoyed it. Still I‘d wish you‘d come to terms with accepting help to speed up the process.
Yes, there are other Devs, with less complex Renders and kinda the same pacing. Which doesnt justify you doing the same. That‘s like saying „But last week someone jumped from the bridge too! Why shouldn‘t I be allowed to do the same?“
Right?
