[2019] Will the devs improve animations?

Original Post — Direct link

I'm asking because I just got this game and it obviously is very rough around the edges. At the moment I find the (lack of) animations to be quite an immersion breaker. The same goes for the avatar. I saw that they made the models better than they were in 2017, but they still look plain bad. Are they planning on making these look at least somewhat acceptable? Right now I find it hard to dedicate to the game in the current state even though it shows great potential.

Thanks in advance, I really like the bigger picture that this game revolves around.

Edit: Models* not Moderls.

If you're referring to object animation, yes, we'll definately do and are already working on that. We do it as we exchange old objects and insert new ones.

In regards to avatars we have no immediate plans to change something, it's pretty low priority. But it's likely something will be done there later, probably around release.

Thanks nice to hear that. I want to add that you should check your Lathe again.

I am a real live lathe operator and that is not how the support works. (The part of the Maschine that holds the tool)

Despite that I enjoy the details of the workshops. Though I am strongly missing sounds and animation for example the sawmill.

Our animations are not necessarily there to be absolutely realistic.I'm quite sure it bothers noone that is not a lathe operator ;) I can't promise we'll go back to fix unrealistic animations, that's not a priority for us. We rather want to have animations for everything.

(Feel free to DM me how it's supposed to look, if you are able to make a painting, though)

Sounds are also improved in 9.0, as it has a new sound system allowing for trigger based ambient sounds.
