[GameDev] Game Design Question - VN POV
🕑 Added 2024-01-12 02:22:30 +0000 UTC
So I kinda had a thought,
For the more intimate and dating interactions in game, would players prefer a face-to-face angle with the character (2nd image), over the side angle with Bito in frame and the character making eye contact with Bito (1st image)?
There def is scenes where Bito can't be out of frame, but there is the kinda split between Bito the character you play as and Bito is the vessel for the player and it makes me wonder if players would like seeing things from Bito's POV more. I was thinking of keeping it like the 1st image for normal gameplay and story progression, but swapping to the 1st person view for more intimate conversations. Though I can also see it being a bit strange swapping between the two, and some of my character designs maybe don't work the best from a front angle lol. But I can see an appeal to looking a character in the eyes.
Any preferences when it comes to dating sim gameplay on it being 'POV' or not?

Maybe both, on screen for normal conversations and pov for important conversations
