Why you go looking at Guy's nipples when you can look at Breeddani's and Ashe's?

I think only people set in their ways downplay the importance of sound and music in how a scene is enhanced. Almost half the praise Leap of Fate got is for its soundtrack that fits the mood of the scenes, its pretty similar for DIK. And for those that disagree, just look on youtube videos of movie scenes with swapped music and see how much of a difference it makes in the emotion it conveys.
Because his torso is right there in all fuck scenes and half the time right next to breasts which naturally draw the eye there?Why you go looking at Guy's nipples when you can look at Breeddani's and Ashe's?
That's great to hear, although i think now i'm gonna need to eat some crow here -- i went back in the game to try to get a screenshot of it, and then did a google search for some comparison pictures and then it turned out that placement can actually happen in RL too. So all things considered, it's probably perfectly okay the way it is, just something i haven't really seen before. :v

This is still one of my favourite scenes in the entire game.
The whole scene is just so good. It's when I really fell in love with the game.

I can definitely see your point. But, the fact remains that if I did it now, I'd probably have to half-ass it a bit, purely due to time constraints. I think it'll be better to wait until I can really devote some time to the sound design of the game, than to rush the whole process.

One thing I hope we don't see or more to the point hear is characters voiced. I have seen some games implement that and it totally kills immersion for me.

voiced characters is a iffy thing for me cause of how I grew up playing video game I do prefer voiced even bad voice acting. I even played a AVN recently that has really good voice acting which makes it feel more immersive for me almost feels like im watching a tv show. But on the other hand it's something that usually not worth the time , money and effort to do as well as you need to include a way to disable it as I think it's only a small amount of people that do like it.

I think voice acting works best when it was integrated into it from the start of the game. I always struggle with anime to listen to the English dubs that I have watched before subtitled with Japanese voice. Not because of the quality but for the fact I have associated the one voice to the characters and it ends up not feeling like the same character without the original I heard.
I feel like same for games that don't have voices and then adding it in later on. I have a preconceived voice in my head and struggle with associating the character after that point with a new one so to speak.

yeah I hate going from english to sub on anime cause of this same reason. But thankfully im a visual person so I can't do different voices in my head so would be no problem for me but yeah I do see your point.
I have yet to find an adult game where I felt the soundtrack or voice acting really enhanced anything. Even the ones like Leap of Faith where people said, "Oh you have to turn the sound on, just give it a try" the sound went back off after about 10 minutes. It doesn't add anything for me, same with voice acting.
Personally, i find it adds a lot in games like Pale Carnations, Being a DIK or Our Red String. It largely depends on how much effort the author puts in the song selection and binds them to scenes and/or characters.
Don't know - I tried it and turned it off in Pale Carnations, but I haven't tried Our Red String at all and don't like BaDIK.
A good soundtrack while not necessary can inhance the experience. Personally though, voiceovers almost always break my immersion.
You're already using the reading imagination part of your brain with VNs. Voice acting &/or *ahem* moans tend not to live up to headcannon voices.

Agreed, there hasn't been a single adult game I've played where the sound didn't get muted, but I also prefer my adult games without animations
I like some good images and writing, but otherwise prefer imagination for the rest

IMHO a good soundtrack with the good music at the good scene add a lot.
I think f.e. at ORS, when the characters have hard sex and start a heavy rock music.

I'm always playing motorhead in the background
totally the same for me. I prefer to choose my own music (if i want to) and as u said, animations prevent us to imagining our own story/fantasy (and are often of poor quality for a very long time to design...)

Agree. If you don't have the time now then it is better not to do it than doing a shoddy job.
The story, character development, renders already speak for themselves about the game's quality. No reason to taint that with some bad sound design.
