VN Ren'Py The East Block [v0.8.2] [Bobbyboy Productions]

I am wondering how the facial expression animations were created. I am thinking AI, but I don't want to assume.

Practically half the latest episode was AI, so I'd say it's pretty safe to assume at this point.

Another thing I was disappointed about. It's going to be awhile, but chapter nine is really going to decide for me how I feel about the game.

I know Bobby is cool and all but still. I just don't want what I thought was a masterpiece of avn storytelling and quality to go bad like mouldly bread. I love the game too much to stomach that.

Masterpiece of avn storytelling? Your Bobbyboy had Kathryn monologuing to explain away all the plot holes of the previous update instead of fixing them, only to pull new ones out of the hat. You must realize by now that you're only love with the aesthetics of the game. Minus the Ai-slop, of course.

Stay away from this project if you can't shut your brain off for a minute.

eh id still consider this a masterpiece when it comes to a sharing game but everyone is different. However not for the story rare to find any sharing or NTR game that doesn't have some major issues with the story or it's there as an after thought. Tho I didn't hate the AI in this one cause ive seen games that used the AI in ways I found worst still don't love the AI but it's tolerable for me.

I think expecting people in the porn space not to be money focused is the issue. If they weren't why are they remotely near smut? It's a space for Sasha Greys and Elsa Jeans, not Agatha Christies.

Very few people enter porn out of a deep seated artistic desire. They enter it to make money. For a writer or developer usually because their talent sits them in a space where they would earn pennies or less than pennies in the mainstream. Where as in AVNs their talent level may provide an income they can actually live off or even get them rich if they're good. It's why so many are willing to bend backwards for Patreon or a Steam release. That's not even a criticism from me, every fucker has bills to pay and starving artist is noble for everyone but the actual artist.

We need to stop pretending porn devs are some auteurs grinding for the love of their creation. They're not writing stuff like a girl sucking a homeless man off while her BF claps like a seal, a wife been cratered by bbc, a college woman been gangbanged, a woman sucking off a rottweiler or a mom sucking her son off for the love of art or a creative vision. They're doing it to get paid. If AVN's wern't a money focused space you wouldn't see so many abandoned, milkers, drip fed updates, content changes etc. If their original vision pays of they'll stick to it, if it becomes more profitable to tweak or pivot they will. Players are far more invested in these stories and characters than most of the devs.

And if he were open and honest about what to expect in this update then there wouldn't have been as much of a reaction. If he had said that this is mostly going to be an NTR focused update, where the couple face some problems. The issue is that he said nothing so his fans/supporters who are used to getting one thing, got something else entirely.

With your logic should all developers start making the same shit, whatever makes the most money? Or do they let people know their plans, what to expect and what won't ever happen. Then see who wants to come along for the journey.
