Hello! Have you checked the new animations in the enhanced released of Chapter 5?

It's a feature a lot of people requested in the past, but I never thought I could implement it in my games. But for some reason, during this downtime, I thought about trying it. I couldn't really draw, having my arm injured and all, but I could modify existing drawings... They are really simple 2 frame drawings (doing anything else would be impossible right now) but I felt they added a really nice illusion of movements to the still images, making them feel a bit more alive.

I know they are a bit rudimentary, but they are reasonable time and effort wise to produce, but they add to the workload and production time of the game, of course. Overall, what do you think? Do you like the new animations, do you find them dull or uncanny, are you eager to see more or would you rather have me drop the idea altogether?

Animation is usually not worth it in VNs, in my view. It's not a reflection on your work, short loops out of nowhere just don't seem to fit with the medium, 2d or 3d. Dedicated animation, in the sense of watching a short of the order of 10 minutes or so, is a different story.

I love the idea of animations yet when push comes to shove I almost always would prioritize more choices, more dialogue, more character interaction. So add a few when it makes sense and you have the time, but you don't need to invest too much in them.
