We have attempted to make some illustrations for existing scenes (Emily first scenes) with an idea to work and include them with text (maybe alter text a bit). 

You can find them at our blog, here: http://strivefopower.blogspot.com/2017/12/scene-examples.html

We probably not going to make them animated anymore as it was a testing attempt and I believe they feel generally somewhat out of place for Strive (and obviously they take quite a lot of effort to animate). In either way we want to check for feedback and demand. If majority actually prefer the animation, we might go for it. 

Feel free to vote and comment.

Do not want. Better improve the quantity of text descriptions/actions. I have already seen several projects dug themselves into a very deep hole by trying to animate every x on y interaction (cough cough, breeding season, cough). Just my thoughts on this, the poll results are unsurprising, of course most people will just want more of everything but that is impossible and animations would take time/money from elsewhere in the game.

Maybe you should contact Pink Tea Games. He does a pretty good job with Slave lords of the galaxy. Also a slavetrainer game but with animations and stuff

For me the main point of strive is the random aspect and that would be extremely hard to animate.

Random aspect is not going anywhere, its just an addition for non-random character plotlines.

Honestly, I like them, but if it is too much, the, it is too much, but overall, YES.

Illustrations are fine for main characters I think. Animation is a little out of place for Strive, I think.

Illustrations for quest lines would be a nice addition

The illustrations are great, but I feel like individual animations would be too time consuming. I would rather that focus be on gameplay features.

Yeah, I like the animations but they feel a bit out of place in S4P. If they're highly time consuming I'd say your efforts would be better spent elsewhere.

Animations are hard and costly. Get a good animator befor even trying that one

We are talking about Spine animations which are not frame-by-frame animations and can be done somewhat easily (see last picture)

I like the illustrations. Animations are also nice but I'm not sure they are worth the effort. This is likely just my issue, but I'm always slightly disturbed by the disimbodied penis. The Emily model looks a little off from her current sprite.

Really? No option for keeping the status quo of having some pictures but not overly focusing on them? Ended up voting just text since I don't want things to get bogged down focusing on pictures. I like the pictures, but I'd definitely prefer something like creation of difficulty settings over focusing on lots of extras.

It's only about sex scenes - just text or illustrations. Main course (backgrounds and character sprites) is not a subject here. 'Text' means exactly status quo in this case.

You're not the only one who finds the floating penis ridiculous (granted, the other options for m/f are having some dude's back blocking the view, cowgirl style (doesn't work for every scene), or using a weird angle). Given the number of races and skin colors, showing the slaver really wouldn't work here. Hell, given the number of skin colors and penis varieties, it's debatable if even the floating penis works. Animations are a bad idea IMO mostly due to the fact that Mav focuses pretty much solely on male slaver/female slave content, and that's just one of the 4 possibilities offered by the game (6(?) if you play with futa's enabled). It'd just be another area in which anything other than that gets ignored. And yes, I am aware that Mav has outright said that the other options were not initially planned and he doesn't plan on focusing on them, but it'd still makes the game feel incomplete.

It'd be nice if you had a couple of basic pictures for each race with adjustments for bust size and colour palette swaps. Nothing complex. Just a visual place holder.

Think i staying out of this blood bath of a vote. Rather see more traits and Main character getting traits as well. Lesbian trait, Feral beastkin. There also a few races without traits still in game. Rather see game grow more but want areas still needing a bit of work to be finished as well.

maverik

Don't be mistaken, art is not being done by me so it does not hold me back anyhow from working on game's mechanics.

Alex Hernandez

I like the animations you put up on the blog post and would love to see more like it but for the time being i would like to see more characters and scenes be intoduced

I'd really like animations and illustations to be optional as I'm very fond of the text-based approach of Strive. And, with that in mind, I'd hope that the implementation of more illustrations does not hinder the expansion of text-descriptions.

No need for animation ones, am fine with visuals or text myself.
