It's torture. They shouldn't announce the release day. I will be dead by that time.
I haven't played the game yet and have been waiting for more content since April : )

Early October is the first day of the month for regular people yes.

I'm not sure it's the same thing for people working in a project with little to none pressure.

Don't get your hopes too high.

Not saying they won't respect their deadline, just saying that we're in an industry (porn game) where it's quite common to have delays.

No, even with the GIFs that are meant to be paired together, they don't have proper flow in the current build. You just hop from one ~20 second GIF to the next where the characters are just warped into different positions - there's no proper transition between the GIFs so it doesn't generate an actual scene that flows properly - hence the "transition animations" I mentioned that would help eliminate the disjointed nature inherent to Pandora as it's currently designed.
Pandora is getting "big" upgrades later on they are saying, such as transitions and even changing camera angles. They havent said much more than that or when though so take it with a HUGE pinch of salt..

That's awesome to hear. I would imagine the transition thing being discussed would really help the scene feel like it has a lot better flow from start to finish. As you said though, probably a good idea to take with a grain of salt.

but they are right its just a 5 second gifs
I'd encourage you and anyone else that says the same thing to go download UE4 and make an animation yourself and see how long it takes to render a 5 second animation. It's very easy to critique from the outside looking in. Even SFM is a challenge to learn (mostly due to how Valve hasn't updated it), and FOW still made films in that engine that was beyond any usual smut.

any1 who holds fow to their own standard can rightfully be underwhelmed by the porn section of the game. every scene compiled is probably still shorter than any of their movies

Well, hate to break it to ya, but what Thrway said earlier is dead-to-rights accurate - when you've got a professional animation and porn studio getting $2M in initial funding, expectations are present and that's not going away. Especially considering what we see some devs here on F95 create on their own in their spare time with no kickstarter funding at all.

Hopefully it'll get better.

well i am not a game dev right i'm just a customere and when i am gone a buy something i expect it to be good now i dont say game is bad is good but sex scenes is just soo basic for a porn game no difference between this one and normal porn there should be more freedom i'm just saying that at least we should able to control camera angles or change position not stuck in a one simple position and loop

Like a brick wall...just keep waving that big number like it was that exact number (it wasn't), like the money can just be automatically mashed into the computer to make the best porn ever. It doesn't work that way. Either you overexpected, or have no idea how little that still is compared to full on video games that are sold for 60 dollars.

Game with porn, not a porn game, remember.

And like a brick wall (funny insult from you considering how you aren't even remotely objective with any criticism of the game), you just keep disregarding what other people have fairly pointed out that other devs have put out better content on borderline zero budget. So you can keep trying to minimize that $2M initial funding amount all you want - I don't care - the fact of the matter is this was made by a studio famous for their porn animation quality, and the adult content was part of the marketing.

Their kickstarter goal for the game was nowhere near $2M, but people readily donated far in excess of what they were asking for, so when I see criticism, I think it's very fair considering the state of the game at launch in a variety of areas.

Maybe it will be absolutely fantastic eventually (who knows, maybe even this next update will be top shelf and turn things around), but until it is, it's fair to point out the low quality content and the problems with Pandora, just as it's fair to point out the things it does really well, like the voice acting and overall game graphics.

Holy hell Valen...give it a rest, dude. Nobody takes you even a little bit serious in this thread. Literally we've seen people counting down to your next defense post anytime someone posts a criticism of the game, no matter how legit the criticism is. This game has a shit ton wrong with it and there's nothing wrong at all with pointing that out. It does some good things, too, and those have been pointed out as well. Try to be a little more even-keeled in your eval.

I absolutely hate the "game with porn, not a porn game" argument. Stop pretending StudioFow didn't advertise it as a smut focused adventure game initially, contently emphasized it's porn aspects through it's initial funding phase, set the majority of it's goal tiers for additional porn content, or constantly put its porn and waifus at the forefront of nearly every random tweet they make. They aren't continuously tweeting lewd pics of their girls because they know people care about it's boring ship phases.

How much are they paying you to brick wall every form of criticism in this thread. It's literally been just you and the other guy jumping on everyone's case over any form of criticism, even the most minor kind. You two even stopped trying to form legitimate responses to people's replies over a hundred pages ago, and now you just formulate the same template responses, as if you're some kind of PR staff. Last time I checked, the moment someone says "well, why don't you try to do it" against any form of movie or video game critic counts as something people should automatically disregard as a worthless argument. ...and this isn't the first time you've done this, nor is it the first time someone has had to point out how stupid of an argument that is. You guys are on repeat like goddamn robots.

Pssst, guys, all of you, you are repeating yourself and others. It's done, no one is going to change their mind on this. Let's just wait for the update to drop, and discuss it when it gets here :)
