Animation Update Feedback Thread

Hi there @Tory !

Oh honey, I’ve got some feedback for this incredibly disruptive update.
Now, we’ve all been feeling a little disappointed with the updates recently, since they’ve only been once a month and still not that spectacular sometimes BUT THIS TAKES THE CAKE :sob: !
I’m currently taking reviewing requests, and after seeing this update, I can’t even bring myself to watch…
Right, now everyone seems to be having issues with the change in animations themselves, and of what I’ve seen, they are worse now than they were before.
We appreciate that people within episode must work hard and spend a lot of time on updates within the art catalog, and no one means to sound ungrateful for their hard work but this is not what we asked for.

My main issue is the way they talk. It’s just a continueous up/down movement that looks SOOO unrealisitc, even more so than they did before.

You can avoid certain animations, and get used to some over time, but the way they talk is NOT ITTTT!!! :face_with_hand_over_mouth: :sob:

You guys tried to make the animations more realisitc and well… did the opposite.
So many of the animations were used with multi-purposes because that what they fit - now everyone who’s factored this into their coded has got trouble on their hands.

I never had effort to finish my stories before hand, and NOW? bae i aint even opening the portal.

p.s. i love you episode, but for the sake of over a million people, change it back, or we’re all gonna start snarling like Miss gurl in our stories.

FYI:


I will also likely make a separate feedback thread in the AM, but for now, feel free to add anything further that is positive and/or constructive here. I will move it later if need be.

I’m so very happy! When they eventually roll out a new update for the animation software, I seriously hope they do a better job than they did this time.
