Hi, guys. Some of you might know that I'm writing another story on the side. We had a poll, a few months back, about which kind of NTR I should be writing next. The mother NTR won. Now, the feeling that I have about the script in its current form isn't great. In fact, I don't think it's very good. I don't know if it's because I've never particularly been a fan of Mother NTR, or if it's because I doubt more and more my capacity to portray a good NTR story, but that's how I feel about it.

Still, side projects were always meant to be more of a test. NTR'd By Clumsiness is really close to its conclusion, and unless you guys wanna wait another six months for me to come up with something else, it would be preferable to just give the story a shot. At worst, it's a failure and we move on.

Now this is a rather long intro for the poll: Should my next project have animated sprites? But I wanted to put you guys in context.

If you've read the commentaries (my condolence), you've seen Hangover animated. At a quick glance, there are only upsides to her animations. It gives a depth to the character and it's fun to look at. But some might have noticed that she might be less expressive. Or sometimes, between expressions, her face glitches, or I have a hard time making beautiful-looking animations. If no one noticed, then my fears are unwarranted. But if it's noticeable, and bothering to the viewers, I would like to know. I have a bit less control over live2d characters. Maybe it's simply a question of experience… or maybe it's the technology that is awkwardly implemented in Renpy. In any case, I just want to know if the upside of having the characters animated beats the downside of it.

If the majority vote 'yes', I'll try to animate the sprites of my next project.

I would like to see a NTR story about a nice student girl that cheats her boyfriend with her professor :)

Personally, I find Hangover too ... floaty I guess? It's fine for the commentaries but I think it'd be distracting as an all the time thing.
