Is Sex Scene Eventing Worth Doing?
🕑 Added 2020-10-05 06:58:14 +0000 UTCI was going to make this a poll, but responding in poll form doesn't really work for this question, so I'll just ask for opinions on it, and limit it to patrons. How much value do you think the little sprite animations adds to the in-game sex scenes? I did this for quite a bit of the new content with the dungeon 2 boss, as well as in the milking room for dungeon 2, where the sprites move back and forth or side-to-side to try and make it look like they are thrusting or trembling during sex. I know some people have said fading to black and just showing text can be a bit underwhelming, though that’s how everything was in twine. The reason I ask is both because those take a little bit of time to do, and because eventually I intend to have artwork done for most sex scenes that would show up on screen, which would make the little eventing things sort of obsolete since they would be hidden behind the images. Of course, given that I write several sex scenes per month, who knows when (or if) the artwork would ever fully catch up to the current content, so it might be a good idea for something to do in the meantime. Do you think it adds to the sex scenes, or is it something you barely notice? It doesn’t take too long to do, but if it’s not something people really notice then it’s mostly just a waste.

I am perfectly happy with just text sex scenes. I'd prefer a big, long, juicy sex scene that's entirely text over a short and sweet sex scene with an accompanying gif.

Yeah that's the end goal for sex scenes, just that in the meantime for characters that haven't had artwork done of them the animations might be better than a black screen. Seems that they are of little impact though, so I'll probably limit them to ones I can do very quickly and just leave others blank.

Adding to my previous comment, I had to start a new game, and realized that the sex scene with Beatrice would be a great model for the rest - text with a static image in the background.

Just the text is definitely a little underwhelming, but I'm not sure the sprites add all that much. They're so small it doesn't really look like sex. So I could go either way. If it speeds up new content to not do the eventing then I'm all for that. Otherwise I have no strong feelings either way.

Very little value imo unless you're getting an actual sprite artist to make sprites. There are a few you could "borrow" or are actually freeware from around the internet but even then it's just going to get repetitive.
