Shadow Drop Animation, bring it back?

[John 1039]

On completing 100 shards, do you dislike the new attraction filling-up animation and would much rather prefer the old shadow drop animation to be brought back?

Filling-up Animation

thanks, @John 1039 I was about to create a poll just for this.

If I could change just one thing in this game It would be bringing back the girl shadow drop animation, it was the BEST feature of the whole game (and I almost say the most addictive too).
They could use it again for the lucky 100 shards drop. I am sure all players would greet that change.

The new filling up animation is bland, It does not thrill.

It's been months i blocked all the images to avoid that annoying server error, so i can't see either of them. I guess i don't care that much

But if i had to choose, the shadow drop was better.

We could combine the two. Shadow drop, then it starts filling up from the outlines to the center, then we get the girl. I already forgot how it used to look like before.

Thanks for creating this post.  It closely accords with my own thoughts.  I suggest that for the x100 jackpot some form of the original animation is brought back.  In keeping with the idea of attraction and 'sweeping the girl off her feet' we could have a shadowy girl outline coming towards us and planting us a pouty hot kiss smack on the screen.  As well as the lips the eyes would have it (rather like being a party to a great blow job).  She then pulls right back and morphs into the girl whose love we won.    To maintain the thrill of the surprise, the display of the x100 shard drop would not appear until the fianl morph happens.  There'd be a flirty, sexy animation on the way back out.

Failing this idea, just bring back the shadowy silhouette of the girl.  The new system smacks of the geeks taking over the art department!

I miss the shadow animation. There was some kind of unexplained magic in it.

I think you're greatly overestimating the capabilities of the artists on this team.

Yes, very possibly, but, to give the artists credit, they have flashes of great brilliance and this is from the perspective of incredible time pressures to produce the goods.  The artists are getting better and better with some genuinely sexy and original creations now being made available.

What I was talking about was a single generic girl that applied to the animations of every new girl recruited - not as with the original silhouette outline of each new entry pose.  There is great morphing software that can do the transitions to the actual girl really easily and can be saved as animated gif or png format for use with the game (HH already use this technique for their gif animations of new Legendary Days promotions, for example).  Since HH insisted on completely removing the old animations (including Pachinko) with a bland and unsatisfying replacement then I've suggested a compromise applying to the x100 jackpot that might overcome players' (including my own) grievances over the loss of something that was really good.

What I put forward probably won't fly, but it is a suggestion.

The new animation is not as exciting as the previous one, it does not give me any satisfaction when I get the girls. The old animation was the best.
I hope the animation of the girl's shadow returns.

Personally. I like the drop shadow animation. Gives that roll the drums vibe at times.
