There’s alot of small things genshin can improve on compared to the amount of revenue they are getting

At this point I feel like money isn’t the issue but the extremely cramped dev periods are. There is only so much you can do in certain timeframe, but I do feel like pictures instead of black screens is one of the things they should be able to pull of.

I’m with you, they could add more emotes during cutscenes and dialogues. I’m so fed up with the traveler putting a hand over his heart.

tbf there were lots of new animations in recent quests. especially during Dottore's fight. really didn't expect with how Sandrone joined the fight.

>Like genshin makes a shit ton of money.

Thats irrelevant if the money doesnt get siphoned back entirely into the project, which knowing how gacha games go, they will never overbudget the game

>They have more than enough money to spare

Jeff Bezos has plenty of money to spare, yet Amazon keeps relying on AI dubbing for anime hoping people dont notice. Just cause they have the money, doesnt mean they can just throw it away on mostly *irrelevant* things only a loud minority cares about and doesnt even bother feedbacking about

>and there are def things they could improve upon.

Like?

>They don’t have to be huge things either like a bit more movement from characters during dialogue or more of those pics that pop up from time to time instead of js saying what happened.

I mean, sure they can

But what good does it do if they just shoehorn pic after pic?

Next post is gonna be saying since *they have the money they may as well fully animate them* and then we go back to sqaure one, asking more and more wth no given end, just because satisfaction is a myth nowadays

>I don’t imagine making those pics takes alot of budget so instead of a black screen telling what happened or those awkward half baked movements they do they can js show a nice picture more often. (By pics I mean shots like the nilou hugging one lmk if they are called a specific name)

I mean, surely not in terms of budget

But they take time, and time is quite literally the thing they have the least

So maybe, just maybe, something has to be cut down in order to keep time flowing properly

If "pictures" are to be cut down, to keep the game flowing as is, without excessive delays, or other content that gets cut down in its stead, then so be it

>I don’t imagine making those pics takes alot of budget

How long do you think it takes to draw one of those pictures? How much do you imagine it costs to pay someone to work for that length of time to create a picture? Maybe you don't ***imagine*** it takes a lot of budget, because you have no understanding of time and cost and how that impacts on a budget.

Every minute spent on something insignificant, is a minute not spent on something more important, again, probably something you have very little understanding of when it comes to game development.

Pictures also take up storage space, need rescaling for different resolutions (sometimes, if they are catering for a wide range of aspect-ratios), none of which is the case for the occasional black screen + white text.

Unlike your typical Redditor, these development teams know how to manage a project, they know how to allocate their available time and they know how to budget for that. Spending more money on something doesn't create more time, it just uses up more money, something businesses understand very well.
