Do you think the new animations are worth it?



Hello! Have you checked the new animations in the enhanced released of Chapter 5?

It's a feature a lot of people requested in the past, but I never thought I could implement it in my games. But for some reason, during this downtime, I thought about trying it. I couldn't really draw, having my arm injured and all, but I could modify existing drawings... They are really simple 2 frame drawings (doing anything else would be impossible right now) but I felt they added a really nice illusion of movements to the still images, making them feel a bit more alive.

I know they are a bit rudimentary, but they are reasonable time and effort wise to produce, but they add to the workload and production time of the game, of course. Overall, what do you think? Do you like the new animations, do you find them dull or uncanny, are you eager to see more or would you rather have me drop the idea altogether?

  • I love them
  • They are alright
  • I don't really care
  • I don't like them
Animations are overall a good idea to lure in more players, but for me, Evakiss' descriptive writing was enough.

Been reading some of the bios of the characters....and I think Lena needs a little rewrite. Feels off with some of the other character bios I just read.

Animations as they are, are fine and dandy. From my POW, it is indeed worth to include 2-5 frame animations once in a while. But, without overdoing that. Imo, the drawing / art quality is top-notch, and that's more than enough, so no point in engaging in overly complex animations that could hinder development progress.

Keep up good work. And I'm kinda sad that I can't support the project on Patreon due to being instabanned there on all of my 3 attempts to register.

Oh Im sure there will be since she is Lena's mom and Ian interns for her.
You're mistaken, Minerva is not Lena's mother. There is actually a scene where Minerva attends to a pole dance class from Ivy where Lena is also present and at the end Ivy and Lena discuss Minerva's performance and if for some reason you were mistaken you can clearly see there that she's not related to Lena in any way.

the two frame animations are good enough honestly. what is important is that eva kiss continues to deliver in the art itself and also the dialogue. scenes such as lena peeking on louise with jeremy or lena with the polaroids would not have had the same impact if the dialogue wasnt so well done.

Like some have mentioned Im afraid that investing too much time in the animation will lead to less pictures for each scene, more development time etc.

Man, I honestly preferred when the game had no animations at all. This two two frames stuff looks hella awkward or maybe it gives me some uncanny valley feeling or smth, I'm not sure, but I find myself skipping through the sex scenes as fast as possible now. Everyone seems excited to have animations, though, so I guess it's just me who's dying inside a little bit, while looking at this :(

Maybe a good middle ground for EvaKiss to take is the ability to turn it on/off? No idea about coding and if the idea is something easy to do.

Only in the part where she decides (on one of the possible paths) to accept Wilson requests to defend her friend (Dave), which is not coincidentally the best part of the game (not only that branch but the whole difficult choices and consequences in that section). After that Evakiss never ever put the MC in a similar spot (weak), because he\she is afraid of the retarded patreon rules. Hence the boredom where could have been awesomeness. Wasted talent, that's what makes me so sad :(
Yeah, even though I'm a fan of both games, this is valid commentary.

In GGGB the relationship choices are almost all upside for Ashley. Just as one example, when her boss at the marketing firm hits on her, if she sleeps with him it not only leads to career advancement, but he's also attractive and a nice guy who's rich and good at sex. You get your cake and eat it too -- there are basically no downsides at all.

One of the games in your sig, Descent, is likewise one of my favorite games, and it gives you more difficult and ambiguous choices. If you sleep with the boss in that game, it affects all your other relationships and can have career consequences either good or bad, depending on your other choices.

I wouldn't agree that Eva's games are a "waste," but there's probably room for the player to be put in more challenging dilemmas. I will say I think ORS at least has potential for it.

This is happening too many times now.

TELL USERS WHERE YOUR GAME SAVES.

This is basic information that needs to be in the OP, either at the end of description or under links.
Are you trolling?

First off, the thread was opened by a moderator who kindly manages the post and links when people share the developers (paid) content. The developer herself in this case does not appear to be visiting this forum anyway.
Secondly, this forum uses a standard way of doing these posts to give as much relevant information as possible.

By the way, this is a game IN development, meaning there will be bugs along the way. You could become a Patreon of the dev and support the game... and not just troll here.

If you want to find savefiles... This is a ren'py game (as is literally indicated in the thread title). They all have their savefiles in the same location. It should be easy to google that.

Damn, dude, you've been butt-hurt about GGGB's thug path for two whole years, let it go. That something doesn't cater to your specific fetishes or kinks doesn't mean it's bad. Maybe the dev just isn't interested in that and did exactly what she intended to do.
In any case, ORS is still worth playing, even if there is no rape or blackmail or forced stuff like that. The path with Seymour however seems to lean in that direction or at least that's the vibe I get, he has influence over Lena when it comes to money, especially since her personal and familiar situation is so dire. And now the café is closing and you can choose to help them, Seymour's money would surely be welcome... Not to mention she can try and help Ian get his book published by Seymour, and I'm sure he'll ask some nasty stuff in exchange for that :sneaky:
If anything its refreshing to have female MC games that aren't about them being blackmailed and treated like garbage by ugly guys. I get that some of a fetish for that but we already have a lot of games of that type.
