Stuff!
Added 2019-03-19 03:50:17 +0000 UTCI keep forgetting I have a post to make, cause I wanted to ask you guys something. Spoilers ahead for Darius's update, in case you haven't played it yet. It isn't major, but just in case!
--BEGIN SPOILER--
I'm sure of you noticed that I handled his shower scene a little differently than I've been doing it lately. I generally keep them hidden from site and try and give the idea they are actually in the shower, not standing outside in the open. What is your opinion on this? Do you prefer to just seem them on screen all the time like that? It's something I had been thinking about, and I decided to use it there.
--END SPOILER--
Also! Deckerlink has invited me to do a Q&A session called "All of the Above" with him during a stream this Saturday (the 23rd) at 1PM CST. He'll be gathering some questions to ask, and has made a youtube video about it over here (NSFW Language too, hahaha) >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J0qJujKGM0&feature=youtu.be He recently completed his 100th episode of EA on youtube, and it's been a real pleasure getting to join in and watch them lately!
I feel like there was something else I wanted to mention, but I've forgotten it... Oh well! I know I'll have to make another post in a few days anyway, so I guess I'll... Actually, I just remembered! I can share this, as I suppose some of you would like it. This was one of the last things I got from CM, and as I mentioned in the 1.77 update post, I never got to use it.

Okay, now I think that's it... Thanks guys!

I hope we can see that large tiger naked again

2019-03-30 09:26:26 +0000 UTCFor me personally, since your VN actually has a sprite main character that you can see then I really enjoy having them shown on the screen. Although, if it is too much work I wouldn't worry about pushing for it, I thoroughly enjoy your work and wouldn't want to see the game get held up

2019-03-22 03:21:48 +0000 UTC100% better when they're on-screen.
Asio Doxos
2019-03-21 21:40:56 +0000 UTCYeah, I like them on the screen too. You're doing a great job. I like that we get to see the other's personality shine through everyone's play through. Like Dozer having that dominating personality over Chester's passive type personality. Great work with the story development.

2019-03-21 13:37:06 +0000 UTCA couple of people seem to think the same thing, so I'll certainly keep that in mind. Thank you!

2019-03-20 15:53:54 +0000 UTCThat's definitely something I will keep in mind, thanks!

2019-03-20 15:52:44 +0000 UTCI enjoyed having them on screen. Maybe just think about the background direction for the stalls for which way they are facing as an edit, but that's about all.

2019-03-19 21:32:01 +0000 UTCI seriously cannot wait for the next Darius update <3

2019-03-19 20:27:01 +0000 UTCI agree. Any time we’re told a character’s rear is directly facing MC, a view would be nice. Also, shower scenes like this are good sometimes, especially if it’s more integral to the plot.

2019-03-19 13:49:22 +0000 UTCOhh the old Darius :3! I miss him so much :'( PS: I'm so happy for my new phone background hhh :3

2019-03-19 11:13:30 +0000 UTCSame as everyone. This does not break my suspension of disbelief. To complete the "illusion", you could cramp the sprites together on one side of the screen, to represent the tight space of the shower, then spread them when they "leave" the stall.

2019-03-19 06:58:28 +0000 UTCLiked how darius shower scene was shown butt i wouldn't mind having back sprites to show characters' asses when facing away from eric. Another example is in harold's route when he shows off his new jockstrap in the lockeroom when they went get bear belly shirts before. I love you added his sprite turns away doing so now but still would wanna see his bare ass as well. Just certain things like that. Oh CM darius cop sprite nice, really makes me curious what you have planned for that. I assume it was gonna be used at Spencer's job >;p or maybe going to do a cop movie/ commercial on a set.

2019-03-19 04:49:03 +0000 UTCIt makes perfect sense here too. Thank you for the input~
DyneWulf
2019-03-19 04:36:27 +0000 UTCGood reasoning for it too! I'll probably end up updating all the previous ones then!
DyneWulf
2019-03-19 04:34:57 +0000 UTCI will take that two cents, because that's not a bad idea at all!
DyneWulf
2019-03-19 04:34:33 +0000 UTCThe more Darius, the better!

2019-03-19 04:30:41 +0000 UTCHey, this is my comment.
DyneWulf
2019-03-19 04:30:20 +0000 UTCGood to hear! You're right, it wouldn't work with every situation, so it would be certain ones (namely shower scenes in general, hehehehe)
DyneWulf
2019-03-19 04:30:07 +0000 UTCThat makes sense to me, so thanks for that input!

2019-03-19 04:29:25 +0000 UTCI liked showing the sprites in the shower scene personally. But what if to help better visualize the shower part more you put a steam effect overlayed on the screen. Nothing crazy that could hide the background or characters too much, just something small to help immerse yourself more in the scene. Just my two cents ^_^.
2019-03-19 04:25:11 +0000 UTCI liked how you had the sprites showing. I mean we are supposed to be imagining ourselves as the MC and we'd be able to see what was going on, after all.
GrimFloof
2019-03-19 04:19:07 +0000 UTCI enjoyed the way you handled the shower scene in this update. To my mind, it makes more sense to see what's going on, since the logic is that MC is a player avatar. Breaking that consistency by hiding sprites kind of takes you out of that, at least as far as it makes sense to see what the MC avatar would be able to see.

2019-03-19 04:16:25 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to it too! Should be fun, and I'll try not to ramble. If given the chance, I will ramble X3

2019-03-19 04:15:17 +0000 UTCAny addition to Darius is a + for me so if you could that would be awesome.

2019-03-19 04:14:17 +0000 UTCI just noticed that when I correct a coding error in the post, it also deleted a chunk of my post also >.>

2019-03-19 04:13:10 +0000 UTCI liked the idea myself, it may not work for all situations if course but in this case, it really fit well

2019-03-19 04:10:44 +0000 UTCMy only feedback towards using sprites for the shower scene is that you should match the direction of the sprites with what side the showers are located in the background. During Darius and MC shower, they were located towards the exit. I was comfortable with using my imagination for those few shower moments. But if you can handle the extra workload, then I like and support the idea of more sprites!

2019-03-19 04:01:55 +0000 UTCFor my personal preferences, I love how you handled it. The idea of them in the stall was quite clever and the interaction of the sprites was perfect. Compared to the absence of sprites to give an idea if them hidden in the stall, I totally prefer the way you did. But in any case, your writing technique is so fluid and vivid that whatever choice you'll adopt in future scenes, will work great. (not trying to worshipping, just seriously even if english is not my lenguage I can read you so fluid and good )
