VN Ren'Py Origin Story [v0.8.2] [JDOR]

[Rehwyn]

it'll probably be viewed as blasphemy here, f95zone in general not necessarily this thread, but animations usually annoy me, I'm reading. and the animation has now thrown off the flow of my reading so i often end up skipping them cause i click to get the next bit of text and then have to roll back (if i care enough to do so) or i impatiently wait for them to end.

Yeah, I'd probably say that only like... 5-10% of the AVNs I've read that include animations are actually enhanced by it. In the others, the animations have a neutral or actually weakening impact - often just to tick a box because it's expected.

yeah the quality matters,but as was already pointed out,its more about the placement(timing) and them being there at all.

if the animation breaks attention for someone it also breaks the immersion,its easy to understand some people don't like it.
Lewd scenes being animated is normal,a few people use them in action/combat/travel ,everything else is mainly a distraction IMO.

if they want to animated everything might as well make a movie with VA's etc.

 

[TigerWolfe]

I enjoy animations but it depends on the devs skill level. I would rather the dev not use animations if they lack the skill too, or they want to rely on AI.

there are rare exceptions where i feel like the animations are an add to the avn, but yeah generally not a value add with a huge amount of extra dev time to add them.

the ones where they are just an incredibly slow pan up/down of a LIs body, are the worst... completely rip me out of the story, and feel like they take so long to finish... and then one screen later you can see the LIs whole body anyway, rather than being super zoomed in on her ankles, then her knees, then her hips, then her belly, then her etc etc etc

Especially when it's unskippable... But generally speaking, unskippable animations of any kind are too intrusive. Sometimes I like to watch them, often not - or at least not for as long as the dev intends me to.

I just finished playing a quick update of Her Desire and I thought the animations there were done really well. It's one of a small handful of games that I think is doing it right most or all of the time, and wrong none or next to none of the time.

I'll be honest though, to get back to this game, I would welcome animations if they are done well. But does not having them take anything away for me? Absolutely not.

Especially since the Developer Notes say this:

then dont have the tag....

 

[HornyyPussy]

then dont have the tag....

There is no Animation tag on this game.

 

[Rehwyn]

The dev doesn't control tags here. Blame the mods.

Also this:

There is no Animation tag on this game.

Honestly didn't even check, so thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah, the only tags the Dev controls are the one under the "spoiler" in the OP and there was never a "Animation" tag there.

there was the stop motion or whatever "animation" of Scarlet Shadow, found it annoying as fuck

I'm pretty sure the only actual animation is the 2 second loop from Amber's handjob memory.

that's why I used the quotes, it's not a real animation but it was unskippable and slow as fuck as she climbed in etc... at the end of one of the early chapters, 2 or 3 maybe?
