Episode 3 is here for Newgrounds and it's the first old episode I touched up a with some animation that I normally use nowadays for current videos. In the original, I had a crude intro when Rio, our leading man, swings his sword. The thing is, he wasn't really swinging his sword. I just used a crossfade effect to mimic the sword swings. It looks so much better with this along with the camera pans to set up the scene.
I gave Lillie's dancing the same treatment too. In the original YouTube version, you didn't see any movement, just more crossfades. For here, you can see Lillie cutting a rug and Rio doing his best to keep up with her. I also added a "cultured" sequence that adds more of an impact to Lillie's visual novel narration about how her dancing affects her quarry.
Also fun fact, this is the last episode to feature those visual novel narrations. Beginning with episode 4, we decided to just let the voice acting and character models speak for the tone of the scene. So enjoy the last bit of traditional visual novel flavor before the main course arrives.
Thank you very much for your continued viewership and I hope you enjoy this latest episode for Newgrounds. See you next week with Episode 4!
