From the setting standpoint I'd say gore stuff works, but so does bestiality/pregnant-birthing/mind broken-ridiculous ahegao. And it probably works better, because people certainly won't watch gore animation after one time and I'm willing to bet most of people here won't even bother with these gore animations at all.
this is the progress I've made so far if you are curious, I was able to generate an output with only 12 errors that do not seem serious and with the textures exported correctly (on my pc the decompiling and exporting of the game took a whole hour...).
This sounds promising. It would've been even better if more people with coding/unity skill would work on this, but for now it's up to you to make breakthroughs and pass the knowledge of reverse engineering of a retail Unity project.
It's not something I find arousing on its own, but I do find that it helps for setting the right tone. I could rant for quite a while at how so many game-over-rape games fail to set the mood right and convey the danger and gravity of the situation, and just how many ways and tools there are to convey that; NoR uses almost all of them that I can think of*, and one of them is having enemies and outcomes where the fate is a bit more violent than the others.
... I'm... pretty sure I'd remember a vore scene here (I kinda expected the Devil of Lust to do it with her tail-sword thing), so, which one are you referring to, exactly?
Fallen Requiem Knight is the one I was thinking of, though going back to look at it again, I can see it's not really vore, just a weirdly out-of-focus death.
I agree with everything you said, there's just one problem for me related to this and it's a very big one, the way the h animations play and work in the game.
Especially for a game that goes so far out of the way to intentionally highlight and explore the concept of cruelty for its own sake
The alternative (and preferable in my opinion) is to have the H scenes have an impact (which in most games means a corruption system).
yeah but we need a counter item or the shrine to get max hp back cause if not we would run around with only 1hp.
Oh absolutely, that is also annoying. That said, I feel like that's something where what some players want, what thematically makes sense, and what's feasible to make, clashes. If they're always a game over, people complain that they have to lose to see content*. If you can escape, then anything too extreme can break immersion. Having a struggle system but also not having it properly represented in the character movements can break immersion; But at the same time, having it be represented can limit what happens in the scenes and take a lot more work on top. Personally, I think that how the game is is a decent enough compromise for now - it gets pretty much all the basics right and from there it's a matter of taste and clashing goals.
