Sigh compelety misses my point , I don't give one fuck about what you like or dislike neither i Care enough about random strangers to change their opinion i was utilizing the forum on how it's meant to be used to state your you know "opinion" and no offense but who the fucking duck are you to question who can "stay " or who can leave . Your words mostly came out as trying to gaslight instead of expressing your geniune disagreement with what i stated.
Gaslighting instead of expressing my genuine disagreement...interesting... then let me be more specific:
You said:
this style of exposition dumping and wasting dev time on making animations for things which could do without them just because some people think they are "immersive"
I disagreed with this POV when I posted, among other things, that I enjoy Jestur's writing style and his use of animations.
This, IMO, is part of what makes Ripples so good and yes -
immersive - to me.
This was my favorite chapter and the attention to detail, including all the animations, gave it a level of immersion that I greatly enjoyed.
I felt that Justur used exposition well and, in a story this complex, I expect something close to the level of exposition found.
I certainly want Jestur to continue in this vein, using exposition where he feels he needs to review or share knowledge for the benefit of the viewer and including a high density of animations where he wants scenes to carry extra weight or be extra special.
The sexy times with Khloe and Valerie, as well as the extended sexy time with Scarlett were Outstanding, and I am amazed at how well Jestur did with the animations, Especially given that this is using Honey Select 1 to achieve this.
We are now keeping track of multiple versions of the same people in two timelines as well as two versions of Darci, a Skylar who appears to have traveled in time at least once + 2 factions of people in the past and the present who are battling over time itself.
Exposition is key to ensuring that the viewer continues to understand 'what' is happening versus executing something akin to the famous 'Who's on First' skit done by Abbott and Costello.
So - yes, we have differing POVs about the necessity of the level of the exposition and the benefits of all the animations in creating an immersive experience.
I'm happy to embrace Jestur's vision for Ripples, the level of exposition he feels he needs to best tell this complex story and the density of animations he's chosen to include to create the level of immersion he wants his viewers to enjoy as they dive into his creation.
If part 2 is as good as this most recent chapter, IMO, it will be exceptional!
Cheers!!
