My sentiments exactly!
I feel like the new ones should be summon or rank 3 exclusive so we may keep the older animations. They were very nice!
Not a terrible idea, but the problem with the old animations was because they were unit restrictive (not really swapable) they would scale out of control. I know my attention span and limits. At the old rate of 1 animation per rank per unit per unit, that would be 21 animations per unit type, or 147 total unique animations - and that is just if every single one is just a basic loop. It isn't really sustainable, and I doubt I would ever get them all done.
That isn't to say I won't make additional animations in the new style in the future, since the new ones have swappable units, instead of having 21 animation for the Hive Drone (for example) it would just be 3 - which changes that 147 number to 21, which is much more reasonable. I will have to give it some thought - the issue will be balancing quality vs time invested.
I see. So, 7(First unit's race) * 7(Second unit's race) * 3(First unit's rank) = 147 hypothetical animations for a finished game with the old rate.
7(Second unit's race)*3(First unit's rank?) = 21 total estimated (unit-only) animations for the finished game.
I'm slow. I had to mull over your paragraph for liek 10 minutes, lol.
The new animations are really sexy, still.
Atm I can recognise 3 animations: X female on top of Gorger, X thing doing an Illosa, and X thing screwing a Drone from behind. It's very thoughtful that each combination has its own little difference, but that counts more like a 'reskin' rather than a new animation.
I really appreciate your work, Pete. Don't get me wrong. I'm whining because I
still want to be able to see the animations you managed to make before realising that it was an unsustainable thing to do. As in, they were so good they shouldn't go down the drain. You could shove them into the gallery as a bonus, I dunno, lol.
If you give it more thought (because it's a porn game, after all) the unsustainable model could be kept if we find more animators to help while you craft the storyline.
Otherwise, I agree with your decision. It makes one look forward to playing to get all of your units until rank 3.
In any case, please keep up the work! I have a moderately busy life and I'm still checking this specific forum almost every day ;3
