In the meanwhile, we thought we would show off some of the
animations I am continuing to work on to try bring the game to the next level, what do you guys think?
I'll be honest, not really convinced.
Continuous animations on static text scenes have a high risk of becoming distractions.
Sure, not much but... they still are\can be.
IMHO they should be used only to highlight something, be it a pose\demeanor change(going from normal to angry changing the body language and pose as well face expression for example), a different-than-normal situation or things like that.
In the spoiler, Becca just moves too much for no reason whatsoever. It takes the focus from the reading to her continuous movements: WHY? how is it useful to the gameplay\experience?
This is not a voiced animation. Movements on the upper parts of the screen force focus away from the text.
There is a reason most VN\Dating Sims have very little animation on static scenes, it's because the aforementioned high risk of focus switch.
The windy background is nice if it SUPPOSED to highlight it's windy and not a normal background.
My suggestion is thus: focus animating ONLY pose changes and dynamic scenes, keep the background animation to minimum only to highlight non-standard background events . Also, porn scenes (duh).
Obviously, I'm not a patreon so if they are happy please keep go on and animate everything and anything.
