About the KK animations.

I tried Goddesses Whim about a year ago and couldn't stand the writing. I've complained about this before, and I'm sure a lot of people in this thread have the same issue as me, but this game has absolutely spoiled me with its writing quality. There are so many terribly written games on this site, in terms of dialogue, characterization, even punctuation. Even mediocre games are a struggle for me now. I'll never forgive Selebus for this.

Seconded on Goddess's Whim! Fun, silly game -- but the animations are great, at least when it comes to KK.

A thing to remember about KK animations -- Koikatsu is, what, a decade old? There continue to be new mods made to make it more sophisticated, but animating in CharaStudio is still a pain in the ass. The controls aren't intuitive or particularly well documented. Doing anything that hasn't already been scripted by someone else takes a huge amount of time and isn't easy to get right (he says, as someone who's tried and failed). It's tough to get the bodies and all their component parts to play along with each other in sync without heading into body horror or Uncanny Valley territory.

Sel can do all kinds of fun things by exporting images created in CharaStudio and playing with them in Photoshop. But getting as fancy with Premiere or another video editor isn't anywhere nearly as easy, and in any case the original video has to be good, or the edited version will be crap. GIGO.

Yeah, damned Selebus and his damned good writing.

Goddess's Whim is a goofy Isekai harem game. There's nothing serious being explored, just a bunch of fantasy ladies (including a few monster girls, a couple of goddesses, and a wide variety of humans) to get to know, seduce, and fuck. Lots of fairly standard anime/h-game tropes (yandere, tsudere, and all the other deres). I find it funny -- but the plot is fairly background, and the dramatic moments tend to be swept quickly aside on the way to boffing.

Regarding the animations: Even though this would be a far stretch , Sel should just hire/collaborate with some of the fan animators to make the fan voted animations. It would keep thing fresh and the quality would be leaps and bounds of what's been currently put out. Because as of right now I can boot up Koikatsu and recreate the same animations from lil in the sandbox mode no problem.

Also comparing Lessons in Love other kk games, I kinda have to applaud Sel, because he has done more with less. Lessons in love characters aren't heavily modified with modded content, so for him to take basically stock kk characters and make them look as good as they do, props to him. But his animations suck, which is why I think he should just hire somebody else to do them and he adds his lighting effects on top. And for me personally, I kind of moved away from kk games because once you played one of the more popular ones in whatever genre, you basically played them all.

Oh this is a recurring thing?
I guess the care packages didn't go very well, I thought they were a good idea on paper but apparently they're quite antagonistic right?
I believe they worked well enough while he was getting the audience from here, but once he shit the bed and only relied on his cult buying them they stopped breaking even.

Now instead of 2 animations it's one animation per care package bonus animation

Something tells me Sel doesn't work well with others, just a hunch :)
Otherwise this would be a good idea.

As we are talking about animation in kk I can admit not too shabby one in Fujino's douji on SAO as of late I've played.
And Tropically looks not bad. it also has a cock

Never heard of Goddess' Whim but I tried out Succubus Kingdom briefly, it's early so I decided to wait but the "graphics" of that game are absolutely brilliant, I'm definitely keeping my eye on it.
I've completed Succubus Kingdom and I'm looking forward to more of it, I'm on 0.03c at the moment but it's quite good, but god, the fucking comedy was lovely from what I recall.

As for Goddess' Whim, I missed the Monday update so I'll play it after I finish Eternum (I'm really liking it so far, I'm currently right after the heist call, when they call nearly everyone, and it's the day Nancy will first play) but Goddess' Whim has been amazing and as everyone has said, the NSFW Scenes are cinema.

By the way I'd absolutely like any recommendations/new gems of story VNs on this site, I've been off this thread binging on VNs and I'll be searching for more VNs to binge, I've completed Dungeon Days and AIRevolution, both are rated 4.5 starts (though one has less reviews than the other) but the likability varies I believe. I usually don't come in with expectations and just want to enjoy a decent story and NSFW so don't expect anything I recommend to be top notch. Just enjoyable.

Oh and a heads up, Dungeon Days is more of a reading and clicking button on X choices, and you can choose 3 modes, Sex, Choice Sex, No Sex for the story. AIRevolution has sandbox but has a quest tracker at least but has quite an amount choices.

Why would he pay someone to make animations? It's not like that would make all of you start paying for the game, so he's just giving up money for nothing.

Playing second halloween event (Girls in Spandex) and damn, girls expression to the cosplay contest winner is amazing. Small movements of the brows tell great amount of story. Especially the way Ami, Ayane and Maya reacts to each other.

Ayane keeps smiling for who ever you choose expect for Ami and Maya because she knows those two are her real rivals. (Suprised to Rin which is suprising to me)

Ami gets sad and disappointed look (both eyes and brows down) for everyone but when sensei picks Ayane, her brows gets down like she is sad. When sensei picks Maya her eyes gets down like she is disappointed.




For Maya which i thinks is the best one. She has the same expression for both Ami and Ayane. But when sensei picks someone else, her eyes relaxes. Like she was holding her breath, a facade to show she doesn't care if he picks Ami or Ayane.

But when he picks someone unimportant like Molly, she relaxes. She doesn't have to put on a mask.

I love how the girl with least amaunt of change in her expressions tells the greater story.

Here's some belated 0.47 observations and speculation, mostly lore-related, with a few thoughts on characters/plot along the way.
