H-scenes Improvement
Added 2018-11-19 12:09:40 +0000 UTCHi guys!
Meanwhile where're finishing the last animations and art stuff for the update 0.87, we were also thinking about the current H-scenes and how we could improve the visualization of these animations. And after a bit of thinking, here are the changes we've decided:
1. New Buttons Design
In the first place, the current button ( harder / softer ) look a bit big in our opinion. We could make them tinier, but then the words wouldn't be easy to read. So, we've decided to delete those buttons and add two arrows at the left and right sides of the H-scene. Those buttons are barely visible until you put your mouse over them (then they turn blue).
Right arrow > next step
Left arrow > previous step
Easy, isn it? In our opinion, making this and making them barely visible makes the H-scene cleaner, without "distractions".
At the last step you will find that the "cum" button is different :P just to make clear that that is the last step.
2. Zoom
Now you can Zoom in/ Zoom out in the interesting points of the animation. If you explore a little bit with your mouse you'll find that some areas shine on blue. These are "Zoom Areas". Usually these are:
-Head/boobs area
-Pussy area
We've realized that many H-scenes look very well with some areas zoomed. It simply feels that they give you more.
The bad part of this addition is that we use 720 pixels videos for these H-scenes, and when you zoom there's some quality loss.
We could use 1080 pixels videos, but the game size would really increase with that and it would take us like forever to do that. So it's not an option.
The current 720p videos with zoom are a good deal between features and time required to implement it.
3. No more wait between next steps.
In our opinion that was a good addition, but now, with the zoom buttons it just feels unnecessary. The main reason for adding "wait" was to avoid to just quick click on the harder button and skip the H-scene without even realizing. It could sound weird, but we've found that that addition made some players to enjoy more the animations because you can focus on details you would overlook otherwise.
Anyway, as we said, it's unecessary now. Zoom buttons invite to the exploration of the H-scene.
4. New Auto button & Steps in Auto Mode
The current Auto Button activates a mode where the Animation randomly jumps betweens 3 steps of the H-scene. Now, as every one of these steps has 2 zoom areas, auto mode will jump between all the possible zoom and steps available. That will mean that usually the auto mode will jump between 9* different steps, adding more variety.
9* --> 1st Step + 1st step's breast Zoom Area + 1st Step's Pussy Zoom Area
And the Same for the 2nd (3 variations in total) and the 3rd step (3 more variations in total).
5. Cum.
Now there's a delay between clicking on the cum button and the "flash" making that part look a bit more realistic (and enjoyable).
You can check all this in the attached file on this post. It's the Roselyn Forest H-scene with these changes made.
You will find these changes in all the new H-scenes of the v0.87 and maybe in some of the already done animations (we'll start with Roselyn). So for the v1.0 all the H-scenes will have this new feature. In the Changelog we'll say which H-scene have been "updated" with this. If you are worried about this, this change practically won't delay any update.
(Honestly, it is taking some time to one of us from the story writing of the 2nd project, but you can't notice it as you know nothing about it :P )
What do you think?

sure! on the next project it will be different and, if we put zoom buttons there, there won't be pixelation. these are improvements to the already made work, witout making more art stuff :)

2018-11-30 15:38:59 +0000 UTCI like the zoom that you guys have implanted but maybe in future updates (Or your planned future games) the zoom is a different image? so rather than just a simple zoom it is an entirely new image (same position and everything else though) I know this would be more work but could prevent any possible pixelation for those that have very high quality displays. Just a thought, as always wonderful work. I personally enjoy the return of "rabbit sex" though I won't clicking through as quickly with the new zoom feature. Perhaps and I know nothing about programming but during the actual story its paced how you originally had it and then in replays or from the bonus menu it would be rabbit sex, again I don't know anything about programming so I don't know how easy or difficult that would be.

2018-11-29 07:01:01 +0000 UTCI saved the game and closed it to play later. When I went back to the game and clicked "load game" There was no way to open the saved game. The only available button is the back button. Can this be fixed?

2018-11-25 21:33:49 +0000 UTCHow are you opening the .swf? Browser? Auto mode works fine for us. It's also possible that when you tried it, auto mode randomly gave you the same step over and over. We'll see what we can do for going to next steps in zoom mode.

2018-11-20 11:33:19 +0000 UTCAnother thought as I played around with it more, I'd really like the manual buttons available to progress the scene while I'm still zoomed in on one of the areas. Right now, when I zoom, I have to zoom out to get to the next part of the scene and then zoom back in to continue viewing the zoom area I want to see.

2018-11-20 07:43:31 +0000 UTCI love these new changes! Everything you guys said I agree with! My favorite new features are the cum delay to make it realistic, and especially the zoom! It makes me feel more in control, like the actual playable character! In the sample you provided, the auto button disables all buttons and does not randomize steps of the scene for me, not even the manual button works once I enter auto mode, so I haven't seen that feature yet. Have you run into this problem? Or is it something on my end? I'd love to check out the new auto mode!

2018-11-20 07:28:26 +0000 UTC1. In the current version, it is too easy to skip the entire scene, since the "Continue" button and the "Finish" button are located in one place. 2. For the sake of all the gods of this world, explain to me where should I use cheat codes here ?! In what place and under what conditions? Is it difficult for you to spend a minute of real time to level up your character? Or do you have difficulty re-playing the game?

2018-11-20 04:17:57 +0000 UTCFinally clicking as fast as the user likes is back! You should never treat users as little kids, telling them how to use your software. I always wondered, why they teach in university lessons to design user interfaces that give the user the control, as I found that so obvious. I never got the argument, why you (Taifin Riders) would tell people, how fast they may click and was so frustrated with the new interface. I hope, we will get the better user interface and rebuild the trust. Also if you changed the cheat codes, because it got leaked to not-supporters, and not because you want supporters to pay again, then you should include the new cheat codes and walkthrough into the HD files or something like that, so supporters get them again.
2018-11-19 22:51:52 +0000 UTCMmm, how different the starting point compared to Space Paws. Well, the second project will start with the same quality as the last update of Space Paws. Not sure if it will also evolve as Space Paws did. But we really hope it to look great.

2018-11-19 19:03:18 +0000 UTCThis probably will be made in 3 parts. Vyl Daemith and probably Roselyn in this update. Nebet and Siaren after this one. Rest for the 1.0 This is approx, but more or less it should be this way.

2018-11-19 18:55:29 +0000 UTCAlways looking to make the game better for us! You two are amazing! So I'll do what Kontra did and express my opinions. 1. I like the idea of replacing the big buttons with the smaller arrows. Hoping they're noticeable for new players. 2. Zoom could make it more interesting. I understand the difficulty with the resolution changing and maybe getting fuzzy in the zoom. I don't see that as a problem. 3. Personally, the wait before the next button became available wasn't a bad thing. I have always enjoyed your animations. With the arrows and zoom, the player will have a bit more control of their experience. 4. Auto mode including the zooms means we get to spend more time admiring the girls! Can't say no to that! :) 5. Aw, no instant satisfaction?!? Happy girl happy boy should take a few moments! No problem with this one either. Wait! There's a delay in writing the second project? Sad face! Ok, just kidding, but it does make it sound like you've decided what the next project is! Woohoo!!! While I'll be sad, as I've said before, to see Space Paws completed, I look forward with great anticipation to the next project. Particularly from the perspective of how different the starting point will be compared to Space Paws, followed by the evolution of the second project. As your (both of you) talents and skills grow throughout the next project, the future should be awesome!

2018-11-19 17:13:32 +0000 UTCWow. The guys are not just working to improve the game in the form of “More scenes and better animation!”, But also continue to improve it in terms of convenience. Cool. So, now I will express my opinion on the new improvement. 1. Personally, it seems to me that the buttons can be moved below. In the lower corners of the monitor, where they will not be visible at all. I don’t like the location as it is now, and this is how the upper left corner is occupied by "Auto" and the bottom corners will occupy the buttons. That's just the question: everywhere fit the location of the buttons below and will not the arrow appear on the transition on the head / body parts of the characters? ))) The idea itself with the disappearing buttons in the form of arrows is fully supported by me. 2. Yes! Increasing is just what was missing in the game! It may be worthwhile to remake the method of allocating the magnification point (but not a magnifying glass! I only beg not the magnifying glass icon to designate the magnifying area!) But the idea itself is absolutely correct. As for the quality, I advise you not to worry too much))) On a large monitor, the quality does not drop much;)) 3. Quite a controversial decision. Probably the most optimal would be the introduction of the speed of the viewing itself in the game itself, and at the same time its absence in the gallery. Although during the first passage all and so consider the scene in some detail;)) So probably support. 4. I support, but maybe it should also be made invisible? 5. But the button "sperm" I would hang above. Much higher. At the level of the "Auto" button, otherwise when fast rewinding, you can accidentally press it. The idea itself is not a "instant flash" but a gradual absolutely correct! This is a completely correct decision, and if you change something in the future - LEAVE it necessarily !!! Well, the question next: how will this affect your very busy schedule? ))) Will the update of scenes be simultaneous or gradual? I already feel a little sorry for you;)))
