Poll: Animations in Boundaries of Morality

Graphics are awesome in this game

the animations are some best i have ever played.. i think they are great.

A primeira vez que testei esse jogo, e quando vi as animações sem dúvida achei a melhor, e foi isso que me atraiu para seu apoio, nunca tinha feito ate o momento, sim ,eu faço teste de vários jogos diariamente e coloco em minha lista, e posso dizer que esse um um dos primeiros, creio que também inclui a ansiedade de ver logo próxima atualização, e imagino que sem animações isso e mais rápido, mais prefiro esperar para ver um trabalho que vale do que um trabalho simplificado ,então vc já sabe minha opinião, sem animação o jogo para mim não fará mais sentido mesmo com todo o enredo que ele tenha, por isso agradeço por esse belíssimo trabalho.

I don't agree with most of the comment above. One of the most important part of your game is that it has a lot of scenes from a daily life which is a huge plus. People don't like just surreal hard core stuff. You have a more realistic story and animations from the daily life make it more tempting and exciting. I think you should continue with what you are currently doing. Of course having more frequent releases make us more happy but you need to do what you have to do. God work!

I picked your judgment as my response, but here is my humble opinion. Your animations are the best of any games. Period. Not very close. You are on a different level. The first time I played the game, I was impressed. Since then, I played through 2 updates. I do think you add to much. Here is why. First, it dilutes or diminish the impact of them. Plus, your hard work is less noticed because we are almost used to it. I think you should focus on the important scenes, those that have a real impact on the story. Of course, every Sex-related scene is important scenes, so yes, animation there, for sure. But a scene where she just walks-in a room, with her normal week clothes, not necessary. A scene where she walks-in in a Gala or cocktail dress, yes, that deserve an animation. Just my thoughts.

I really enjoy the animations. But you are the storyteller; use your own judgment.

It all comes down to your own goal. If you want this to be lucrative then stop animating. The end. Concentrate on writing, storyline and paths. With great stills and consistent, fast updates. But if you're doing this because you love being artistic, are learning, and it brings a sense of joy, fulfills your goals personally and you can look back on it proudly then YOU DO YOU! But any financially successful dev stays away from narrow tropes (netorase, netorare, hard kinks, cheating, etc.) and anything highly animated as a sole dev for reasons you are already aware of. If you've got a workstation with a couple Radeon Pro 7900s or 9000 series cards and a quality CPU that's one thing... but it's also an outlay of $7000-8000+ just for the cards! However, you could render in a couple hours as opposed to days (or weeks). I worked for Bethesda ages ago, I get it. Being an indie dev would be easier now with AI and all the hardware advancements, but if you're in it to make a living concentrate on the writing, coding multiple paths, and FAST update releases. And a more harem based story brings much greater market interest than narrow, hard kinks, obviously. LOL

I love the animations and I would go "as is". Only thing I would maybe suggest for those who want less: Maybe an option to let the animations of repetetive Animations, like daily chores, doing sport, only play one time and then just blend in an image and let the time pass by e.g.. That could lessen the amount of clicking through them. But only consider it if it isn't too complicated or barely doable. Side note: The only problem with this game for me so far: It was my first adult game and already set my standard with every other. I've come barely across another game that looks so good and has that much interactivity in it. Keep up your work - I am hooked and can't wait the path I can take Emma in the future. :)

I know I'm in the minority, but I voted "reduce or stop" with a heavy emphasis on REDUCE and absolutely no vote whatsoever for "stop". The animations are best in class, to be sure, but in my opinion there is no need for animations for scene transitions. Like walking from one place to another - in my opinion, those are unnecessary. They are wonderful, no question about it, but if it came down to a choice between doing those animations or releasing an update a week earlier, I would much prefer that the transition animations didn't slow the update release schedule. None of this applies to animations for sexy scenes -- for those, the animations are essential, and as I said, your animations are best-in-class. I love this game.

Ce que vous faîtes actuellement c'est parfait, continuez ainsi. Les animations sont très belle et pas trop longues, c'est super

You guys should keep do it the way you're doing it; the number of animations is pertinent to the story, keep going.

I hope you forgive me for voting to keep them as is - I can only imagine the work you put into those. I do like the game the way you make it - and that includes the (little and big) animations within. Everything is so gorgeous and beautiful I would not want to miss a thing :)

Well, for me, it was your animations that drew me to this game the first time I discovered it. I don't remember if I found it on Steam or on a pirate site I visit often, but I remember seeing the presentation video you used on Steam and it was incredible 😎. The scenes of Emma looking out of the car window while they were driving along the road and the scene of her dancing around a pole (which was bait content because it wasn't included in the initial version 😄) were very realistic. After the Steam ban, many of us came to Patreon to support the game in whatever way we could. I've seen this plot/script of a wife who is dissatisfied with her finances and sex life in other games of this genre. However, the animations and attention to detail are pioneering and groundbreaking here 🤩.

What tool are you using to create them?

I love the animations, please keep up the good work!

keep the animations....they are among the best out there on games like this.....have to say think this is the best gam out at the moment.....truly love this game

The animations are among the best content. Many of them are stunning and set BoM apart from other VNs I’ve played. Keep up the great work!

The animations and the beautiful model/story is why I became a supporter. Not counting the way you interact with the community. You are a rockstar man and please never change. Keep doing whatever you see fit I love ‘em

The animation clips does it all.

The animations are what brought me to this game, without them I never would've played it.

It depends on the animation and what she’s doing in it for me. Less walking around and more dirty things for my own opinion

The animations are a great addition to the game and they are done really well. I think its a vocal minority similar to those complaining about the “sandbox” which I think is well done and seems to be used in a way for the player to focus on a specific path for that specific play through.

Animations add to the experience. A few below mention that without animations, the game gets boring, lacks luster. Lacks a good story in other words. Which is kinda what I have been trying to say. As a profit mad businessman, you really can't afford to skimp on the story either, Novel. But you might be looking for ways to speed up development time. Come on, Novel, you are already the fastest in the business.

I love the animation, it amazing for story 😁

🇩🇪 Deutsch: Die Animationen sind wirklich beeindruckend gemacht! Es wäre schön, wenn es künftig vielleicht noch mehr dynamische Szenen gäbe, die Emotionen und Bewegungen noch realistischer darstellen – das würde alles noch lebendiger wirken lassen. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass die männlichen Charaktere wie echte Männer aussehen – mit natürlicher Körperbehaarung und einem realistischen Stil. Das vermittelt Authentizität und passt perfekt zum Gesamteindruck. Weiter so! Gruß, Eber66 🇷🇺 Русский: Анимация выполнена просто отлично! Было бы здорово, если бы в будущем появилось больше динамичных сцен с более реалистичными эмоциями и движениями — это сделало бы всё ещё живее. Особенно радует, что мужские персонажи выглядят как настоящие мужчины — с естественной растительностью и реалистичным стилем. Это придаёт проекту подлинность и гармонию. Так держать! С уважением, Eber66 🇬🇧 English: The animations are really well done! It would be great to see even more dynamic scenes in the future that portray emotions and movements in a more realistic way – it would make everything feel even more alive. I especially like that the male characters look like real men, with natural body hair and a realistic style. It adds authenticity and fits the overall tone perfectly. Keep up the great work! Best, Eber66

I'll leave it to your teams judgement. What I will say is that just leaving them to lewd moments will make your game much like others. I like experimentation and to be surprised.

Without these animations, the game gets boring. The game is unique with them, and I enjoy every single one. I know it's all time-consuming, but I wish there were more kissing animations with tongues. I hope you keep it up, and if someone doesn't want to watch it, they should just keep clicking. Sry for my bad englisch

I do like the animations, they never seem to be there just for the sake of it. I think the quality of them and the desired effect they bring are what gives you part of your edge tbh

Who ever said that doesn't enjoy game as much i enjoyed every bit of small details and long animation secen

Having no cutscenese or very few would defeat the point of the game, if someone wants to skip a scene, just do that, don't understand the need to remove any content at all

I completely agree with @Valoris, after all the animations make the game a bit unique and more exciting for me

Моё мнение, делать так,как считаешь нужным.Ты разработчик, тебе решать.

I like the animations but if you wanted to tone it down some and only use them for lewd scenes (as an example) or as a segway to a lewd scene then I would be cool with that decision.
