Weird times weird questions
🕑 Added 2021-02-23 10:22:47 +0000 UTCAs I mentioned previously, we have some delays in arts assets production with our arts team, but our animator has extra free time instead. So I'm looking into giving him few old assets that was done long ago for act1 and then was scrapped (because of old arts style or scrapping the idea of the story-line as a whole). For example one is Kelly on the party with Rex and VIP (as you know Rex was never implemented in act1), the other one is how dickfrogs hunt was resolved by Kelly and Casey (that was never implemented as a story for act1 as well).

Recently I gave my animator a Kelly's scene to work over, but I wonder what do you think about it? Is it worth doing some story-unrelated scenes animations, if we have spare animator time, to make a little more content for the project per month time?

Same, there are plenty of great scenes that would fit in act 2. Any particular ones that you would want to see updated?

I think it’s a fantastic idea. It always bothered me that only some scenes were reworked with newer artwork and others were not, so I would love to see some improvements to Act 1 in the meantime

yup
Regnareg
You talk about act2?

Sure, I added original file to the attachments of this post

yeah, we're not doing it instead of act2. Moreover I even ceased most of gift-card tasks in order to concentrate artists on doing stuff for game rather then something one-time

later definitely. We're making a raising curve of scenes 'hardcore' level, adding more characters to the scenes and moving from kinda handjob scenes to more diverse and intense scenes
WIll there also be a Nikki dp scene?

Но ведь это и не мешает. Человек, который будет этим заниматься сейчас свободен. Условия замедления работы над Act2 и не стояло.

More art and animation of the quality of L2G is a-ok for me. Though I personally don't want to see it interferring or stop the content/work on Act2.

Hell yeah! More scenes is always better because you do such amazing work. This scene looks awesome already. And I'd definitely want to see a dick frog scene

Would be awesome! Maybe those scenes might be some kind of bonus/wet dream which can be unlocked?

yes, if we finally fix the issue with arts production. Initially I had a plan of doing pretty much similar scene for act2

I don't know how anybody could say no to more scenes :D related or otherwise!
WIll there be a similar scene in act 2

Мне кажется, ты слишком сильно заморачиваться по этому вопросу. Это решение может и должно исходить от тебя в зависимости от занятости членов команды. Т.е. я знаю, что задерживаю обновления, и по этому аниматор, который сейчас немного свободен поработает над некоторыми старыми вещами, что бы поддержать интерес подписчиков, и поддержать ликвидность продукта. Но опрос так опрос))) кстати, по его промежуточному результату видно, что у аниматора есть один друг))))) вы бы тоже поддержали его, парни!))))

Looks like more of a "You can't please everyone" scenario. Though I cant see how people would hate this idea ^^

yeah, kind of that is the question ) might be silly, but I don't feel 100% confident of what most of my patrons think about this. For example few guys don't like WIP updates, preferring less work-in-progress updates per month, while others (most according to old polls) would rather like to see more wip updates per month
Regnareg
Это я понял. Я не понял суть вопроса для опроса. Фактически ты спрашиваешь, хотите ли вы ещё больше горячей анимации или нет?)))) Я думаю единственный, кто ответит нет - это сам аниматор за ха ха ха)))) или смысл опроса в другом?

I think it's amazing!

we have separate guys who do arts for the game (draw everything, concepts, assets for animation) and the guy who animates everything. The problem with delays is with art guys, so the animator has some free time because art guys do not produce enough content per month to load him with 100% of work load per month

Не совсем в итоге понял. Если у человека есть свободное время и он может потратить его на стороннюю анимацию - это здорово. А если у него есть время, но есть работа по акт 2 - это значит у него нет свободного времени:) т.к. сейчас команда занимается акт 2. Или я не прав?
