Sakura Cupid - Your opinion to the backgrounds
Added 2018-02-20 01:01:00 +0000 UTCHello everyone~
I hope that you enjoyed Sakura Cupid, it's characters and environment.
Have you tried the option with the animated backgrounds? It let dust particles fly through the room, make the ferris wheel go around etc.
Since it was the first time we tried this, we'd like to hear your opinions on it.
Would you like to see more of these animated backgrounds in upcoming games or did you think that they weren't adding anything to the atmosphere?

It was a nice touch, it really seemed to bring the whole game a touch of life which suited the setting.

2018-02-20 17:09:47 +0000 UTCYup - little touches go a long way. Don't do it just for its own sake, though - I think it was about right on this one, but sometimes it's just a distraction. Balance is key.

2018-02-20 14:03:34 +0000 UTCI thought it was really nice to have some animation in the background. Made it feels a lot more lively. And on top of what Kimgaemandoo pointed out, weren't there moving windmills in Sakura Swim Club (roof scene) too?

2018-02-20 05:47:41 +0000 UTCNot as much as Sakura Cupid(Additional effects of MPEG format), but I remember there was some background animation in Sakura Angels. like sunlight effect, backdrop windmill turns,window reflection animation. Well, if you will add some animation effect, then I'm welcome.

2018-02-20 05:11:53 +0000 UTCIt was fantastic. Excellent work.
2018-02-20 04:02:51 +0000 UTCHonestly, I like to think this is a step in the right direction. I really want you guys to be making games that can be considered great entries when it comes to non-japanese oriented visual novels. Not saying this to demean Winged Cloud, but when it comes to quality, Pixelfade has really been giving their games a real bang for their buck. As much as I love their entries in Ace Academy and WIP Crystalline, I want you guys to be able to rival Pixelfade. Competition is what drives business forward.

2018-02-20 02:49:39 +0000 UTCThe only problem I see with this are the CGs, which won't be animated then, so it might 'ruin' the effect then but I see where you want to go with the small animations :)

2018-02-20 01:50:43 +0000 UTCit was very nice touch :)
2018-02-20 01:45:41 +0000 UTCWhat about the inclusion of some minor character animations? Like blinking eyes flapping mouths? The only VN I've seen so this is Aoi Shiro, and it really adds a lot of life to the characters

2018-02-20 01:32:09 +0000 UTCI think they are a good addition. Although they were subtle enough that I didn't notice them at first, they added to the general ambiance of the scene when I did. (ie: the ferris wheel at the amusement park) This also is not that common imo as sakura cupid is the 2nd VN I have seen (and own) to utilize animated backgrounds

2018-02-20 01:14:57 +0000 UTCI enjoyed the animations and they added another layer of life to the backgrounds so as long as they are not to much work I think they should stay.

2018-02-20 01:14:01 +0000 UTCI think it adds to overall production value. I really liked it. Little details can have a huge impact. I thinks it was worth putting in
2018-02-20 01:10:39 +0000 UTCHonestly I really like it, I think it's a good direction for future games and it makes it more lively and not in a standstill while the game goes on with the plot.
