Thanks for your review, and I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in the description about how short it is, that's on me!
I haven't heard anyone claim it was "the best made on the Hub" - Who said that?! xD Kidding, I'm fully aware that there are very well done complex and involved interactive scenes out there, and I'm not trying to pretend that this is "better." This is simply a short polished animation, and honestly it feels a bit unfair to be comparing it to "full experience" scenes like Sapusex and Damarmau's.
Hannah Flashes is just Hannah flashing. =) Tried to make it as quality as I could, for what it is. Leah the Librarian, my other recent release, is much longer but still just a few minutes of animation.

Thanks! And I totally agree... some of our amazing plugin makers (i.e., MacGruber's Life, e-Motion, etc.) have been working on that for a long time, and have built engines for expression morphs to react to player behavior. But there's at least one big hurdle: expression morphs don't work equally among all looks, meaning that a bright smile for one girl is a hideous grimace for another. This means most auto-emotion plugins have to be on the subtle side (among other limitations) to avoid horrorshows... and of course, to look really good, expressions have to use a wide range of morphs for expression sub-elements that work together to fit the character. For Hannah, I basically hand-crafted her expressions with all the (free) morphs at my disposal, timing them with Timeline to fit together, trying to create an expression progression that fit her face, current feeling, and overall attitude.
It's a big challenge to do that quickly (though you get faster with experience), let alone achieving that with an automated expression plugin that can fit a wide range of looks!

Thanks! And I agree about teasing and everyday situations.

Thank YOU for such a kind comment! ?

Thanks!
Man, I didn't even know she was in easymate... not cool if they didn't ask first, but definitely cool that they included her!!
Oh, and she's going to feature in a little Halloween set (maybe scene?) in a week or two, so watch #screenshots on Discord or follow me on here or on Twitter if you want to catch that!
