Just started the game today with no high hopes at all. just thought, another boring fantasy game with a dull story and bad
h-scenes. boy was i wrong. im not at the end of the current version but so far, i like it. the most devs dont waste time to tell a good story, instead we get a something of a story to explain why we accidentally fall into our "landladys" or "roommates".

If you like this one, you should try his others. All of them are good.

well this's movement grants animations tag unlike fellow dev's fantasy game..
Oh gods please no, so don't need that extra noise. Now Sorcerer 2 might warrant that but not this one. Still can't promise that they are any good though.

Ehhhh... pace is same as Terminus, fourteen to sixteen days, give or take depending how much renders I need. As for the length? Someone else is better than me to estimate it since it depends on the reading speed since I remember pretty much everything I've written so it messes up my reading time. Updates are similar in length as they were with TRS2 (and Sorcerer for that matter)

While animations can be nice, i personally prefer to be without them, since they do add quite a lot of dev time to update. Moonbox made spin off game to test it out and they said that the animations tripled the dev time for same amount of content.

It is a significant increase in time, which is partially why I haven't done them because I suck at animating things and it would have been just a waste of time. We are talking about 4+ hours for 30 frames. And that's not counting the posing and other setup for the scene in question. And that's not even that long animation overall.

But that being said, there are tools that help with things which I've been testing for a while now. And since I need to make the renders regardless, it doesn't take much to compile the frames into smoother "animation" for the loops in DaVinci. Does it mean they are better? Compared to the current loops? Absolutely. Does it increase the development time? Not significantly. Not at least that most people would notice. It's just needs more testing with various things to get it right.

Sure, still don't want the extra noise the tag would bring :p

Although it is actually more than two, but it only works better on the loop side than the "traditional" side because of the potential dialogue. Meh... details.

In my humble (well, you know.....) opinion, just keep doing what you've done for 4 amazing VN's thus far for as many as you muster before you had enough ;)

Maybe alter the animation speed control to be finer-grained? Being able to reduce the time gap to half-second or quarter-second might well be a small change that ameliorates the current "clunkiness".
