I just noticed that her arms are connected to her torso by the shoulder armour alone in that animation.

In looks weird because the breasts bounce so much but that patch of fur stays in place.
People say what they don't like, and usually skip what they do like. Eh. Anyway.
I like the walk cycle. It even has the appearance that her knees are bending in her stride.
Bouncy boobs? Check. I don't understand those that think this is too much bounce. They want a porn game, got their panties tied in knots when it was going to be a video game with porn, and now...it's like, what, you don't want the goods to move? I don't get it. But hey, If someone thinks something, then they have a right to think that, even if other's don't understand the thought process.
The head bobs a bit in walk.
Slight tilts in the shoulders.
I actually like the little tuft of fur on her chest.
I'm sure other's will point out faults. I don't want changes to happen that will delay the game even more.

I generally don't really explain why I like something. But at the times where I see something I tend to dislike, as for example boobs bouncing as if they where made of water balloon's, I tend to comment on it.
The game is already delayed as much as it can be by being restarted completely, getting things right NOW is preferable than having patches post release in order to fix certain things.
In regards to the walking cycle, it looks alright, but it needs some additional work in order to function properly. I'm fine with the boobs bouncing if that's a final decision, as I can live with it. What I can't live with, is the disconnected arms from the torso. It's offputting, and a slight adjustment to that and giving the arms a bit more movement would be preferable.
Of course people are going to be critical in any case. Not often that you have a 0.8 version of a game getting completely scrapped, in order to restart completely. I get it that it was necessary, but it doesn't really put people at ease.
It wasn't completely necessary. Them scrapping the existing art, animations, gameplay, etc. was done just because the code had to remade as well. I think if they just redid or refactored the code they could've had a working build by now.
It was hard to keep the same assets because the character sprites had a half side view, half 3/4 view to them, and it made it harder to animate.
After the team had already made the sprites and began to fiddle with them, code, and animate, and make a game out, it was already too late. they didn't know they fudged up until later. If the team had began with true side view to start with, then we may not have had much a problem.
However, there is another point to having a 360 spinning K I believe. I think...it's suppose to make the creation of scenes easier. Say we only had true side view. It would have costed time to draw and animate forward or back facing sex positions.
Now that they are doing many angles, I presume that it will be easier to rig and animate the different sex scenes since the body facing is already there.
You missed the part where i said, "If someone thinks something, then they have a right to think that, even if other's don't understand the thought process."
Please don't quote people out of context.
I whole heartily agree, it's better to get them now, than later. My main concern is if the devs rush this and the demo blows, or they take to long and people loose interest and stop funding. it's pretty much like a tight rope balance.

Understandable, but they need get things in order before they release a demo.
Release a janky demo with pieces of the body moving here and there, and people will pick on it.
But people loosing interest will happen if they do not communicate. They need to communicate WHY certain things are happening.
One of the lead devs disappearing? Explaining why that happened would be preferable, but if you are not able to due to personal issues being in the way, at least give a small summary of what occured and reassure whomever is backing the project that things will still move forward as planned.
It's more damaging to them if they do not communicate properly on their changes and why certain things needs to happen. Scrapping what was already there is another part that needs some proper explanation.
And with that, I mean without taking on a hostile tone towards whomever is presenting any critique towards the recent changes to the project. It's bad enough as is. If they want constructive criticism towards their project, they need to present something outside of small preview shots. Or if they want story critique towards the plot, then a release of a small epilogue of what's to come would be nice.
It's sad to say, but most people prefer to have a functioning game ahead of them to test before they start tossing out nice words regarding a it. Before that, you will mostly have to expect harsh criticism, especially after the whole scrapping of the previous project.
Of course people are going to be dubious and perhaps even angry that a game they where looking forward to, is no longer in the making. And by that, I of course mean the whole scrapping of the 2D gameplay perspective and maybe certain story points being tossed out.
They need to show that the current staff can be competent to release a game demo, and then show that they can release updates to said demo in order to show that they can implement new mechanics, characters or story moments without breaking the game. Else, people will start doubting wherever or not this project is going anywhere. And I'm talking in a general sense here, not just for those that are already on their discord watching. If they want more folks to join in, they need to show some actual progress.

I haven;t been on here in years. Any notable updates? (Haven't been on here since early 2018)
Ok so the save file that is linked, it doesn't actually work, does anyone have a save file that does?
So for those of you who weren't quite satisfied with the way the front view walking animation is, here's a list of what Archie will be improving on Monday during his stream, due in part to requests from those on the Discord to have a fully polished animation for the demo rather than a decent animation for the demo and polished animation later:
Fixes include:
better feet/toe upward movement
fix clipping issue of foot during passing motion
improved arm/forearm/hand movement
Additions include:
new lighting and shading for the whole rig
necklace movement
importing final image for bottom of feet(edited)
If I'm not mistaken he also plans to animate the hair at some point in the future. Once he's finished tweaking the front walk animation on Monday he's moving on to adding the remaining constraints to the side rigs and adjusting weights so he can work on those animations next. Kuja is also working on the animation redlines for the first sex scenes.
With Archie back in full swing, a new animator being hired on, and Abelius leaving the team everything is starting to move at a decent pace.

Her armpits/breast meeting points clips over the shoulder pads, and it's kind of weird how the tail is just there and doesn't move
The tail at least, they said they haven't animated yet. But will be animated in the future. I guess ignore that at this point.
Oh hey the fluff being stationary is a good call, I'll suggest them to animate the fluff!
Her shoulders are actually animated, the bikini isn't what's attacking her arms to her body as there is a nude underlayer. They are put on top of the sprite. I see some of the clipping issues but I believe they are actually cleaning those up best they can. As it is a sprite and not frame for frame not all clipping can be cleaned up, but the camera will be pulled away and not zoomed up as hi-res as this is all the time.
Great suggestions peeps! Thanks a ton for the feedback, and I'll bring it to their team. Sorry I was away for abit. Some family drama happened.

The tail, her eyes, and ears, will have their own dynamic animations that will be controlled via the code, so they aren't obvious loops.
OOh that's good.
Boob jiggle feels a little excessive (I'm probably a minority in this) - have you considered making the boobs bounce more/less depending on what level of clothing he's wearing? Would add a lot of inherent sexuality to changing her outfit if she started jiggling when she changed out of her Spacesuit.
I'm sure you're aware of the top clip but honestly, I think in-game it won't matter.

As much of a fan of big bouncy titties as I am, personally I don't like overly lewd elements in h-games such as: unrealistic body proportions (as in massive tits and asses (hated Skyrim: CBBE for this reason), overly skimpy attire, and mega-slut personalities, and body parts made of jelly.
I like to be immersed in my porn games and find unrealistic things to be distracting.
And its a bit like knowing you're going out for a nice meal later on, but spend all day filling up on potato chips, off brand ones at that.
I do like the proportions of the new krystal (especially as she no longer has one tit bigger than the other) and her skimpy tribal dress can be forgiven because of the setting.
My one bit of critique I'd like to add though is that her belly button moves too much, looks weird
