PiggyNose I understand the idea, but in my opinion this is just the wrong medium for it. When you are reading the text you do not notice those small details, especially when some of them are so minimal that you need to go between the images multiple times just to find the difference, like in the example that made me give up with 4 Kingdoms and that I commented about on that thread. There was possibly a 10 pixel difference between the images if that and it took a lot of searching to find it.
I can't tell you what to do, but as a reader of many VN's this style just doesn't work as well. If you want to have a blinking or talking animation then separate it from the text delivery. Looking at the image always comes after reading the text so if the only time you have animations is between lines then most of them are missed because your eyes are focused on the text area just waiting for the next bit of text to appear. If the animation was playing constantly then it would actually be seen more often when looking at the image after reading the text.
Anyways, as a reader it's really annoying is what I'm saying but giving feedback is all I can do, well that or go and change all of the code myself if I had the patience so I could actually enjoy the experience. But it's your game, you do what you want.
