Picture in Picture

[deadhead67]

Hi Everyone and thanks for Cock Hero!!! Great game - Love it! Wondered if anyone considered putting a small picture in picture window into the game showing a guy playing the game perfectly, seeing beats and techniques in real time with a real cock :) Don't get me wrong - the girls are outstanding material, just another facet to the game - something else to follow and watch and add techniques and methods. Thanks Again!

Decent suggestion. In fact, it doesn't even have to be an ACTUAL picture of a REAL dude actually stroking at the right time to stroke. It could instead be a more elaborate indicator, an animation of some sort. That would enable more instruction than just "stroke now" (which is, effectively, the sole content of the vast majority of all present CH instructions). I would personally love a CH that has an indicator that has more detail in it -- which part of hand; which part of dick; what rate upwards or downwards, etc.. Ever noticed, that you can "stroke now" either by going all the way up and down, or you can "stroke now" by going straight up only, or straight down only, and your rate of stroke can vary too, for example by going up and back down immediately, or by going way slowly up from this present stroke-indicator to the next stroke-indicator and then quickly back to "home" down, or reversing that, or whatever. With the present type of indicator, you can fill up the intermission between stroke beats in a hundred ways, all not instructed, just left up to the player.

Furthermore, I'd suggest, that this elaborate indicator include a picture of a hot GIRL doing the stroking ... or, at least, her hands. Imagine, a vid that has a vid-within-vid that is about at a 1-to-6 ratio of size, and in the smaller vid, is a chick (or an animated representation of a chick) whose tits and hand and nice fingernails are stroking along a dildo-type or dick-type object (or an animated representation there-of) to show us ... JUST. WHAT. TO. DO.

Yeep I'm gettin' turned on just thinking about it!

I've actually done something like this for personal use. I record myself playing, then edit that into a small window in a corner over top of the original so I can compete against myself and try to outlast previous efforts. My collection is small so far, but it's been a good way to expand my fun with CH videos.

Which all sounds a little crazy when I type it out... but whatever. I likes what I likes!

[deadhead67]

Yeah - that's exactly it book_guy. Great enhancment as to top stroke, rub, etc. Love it! Sounds like a great add on you've put in, catchall Love to see your vids if you'll share !

Great idea, I have thought about different ways to implement this. But this would be awesome if someone could add it to a video!

well, as a 120% straight male, I really don't care to see others guys' tools so... pass :p

Gonna have to agree on this one. Text instructions and meters do it pretty well for me.

[deadhead67]

Some people won't like that idea, sure. Some guys don't want to see other male parts, that's cool - I get that. I wasn't thinking of the picture in picture window as a point of subject matter to get off on though; more of a "Closed Captioning" for more intricate moves. More of a "See, this is what you do for this move". Maybe add a bit more complexity to the standard 1-2 or Edge N Ride text commands. Even a CGI images or something that actually shows the move. Like I say, not necessarily a gay or bi point of focus for the game... Just further instruction. Like 'Book_guy" said, maybe even a hot girl demonstrating on a real guy (The actual movements) or a vibrator or something more graphic than just what you think the text means. Anyway - just a thought. I'm straight, so not really into gay material either; but I'm sure not a prude and can appreciate most anything if the mood is correct

I'm not sure of the feasibility of this, editing wise. (How much work would that be?) Also, trying to "learn" mid-round is probably going to be distracting.

However, for authors who want to take this road without having what I'm guessing would be a nightmare of extra editing work, they could include a snippet of, say, a girl from a JOI vid demonstrating a certain technique that will be called for in the upcoming round during the break. That seems easy enough, and then the text could just call for it at the appropriate time during the round.

It wouldn't be the first time the text called for specific techniques during a round, though the ones I remember were simple enough to understand without visual aid.

Now that I think about it, a JOI girl could just be part of the video itself, along with accompanying text along the lines of "do it like this until I say stop" or whatever, if the author doesn't want to give away the "surprise" switch-up early.

In all cases, the trick will be finding video of the stroke technique the author wants the player to perform.

Maybe I've gone too far off the original idea, but this could be a thing to try sometime.

Duh. Isn't that part of the 'hero' challenge in the first place?

[SanitusVallus]

It would ruin it for me to have a little picture of some guy jacking off while I'm trying to enjoy the video. I can't be alone in this...

I thought it was the opposite... like if you are distracted away from the girls/video does that not actually defeat the purpose? Maybe I just didn't explain my meaning correctly.

I guess it would largely depend on the execution.

[catchall]

To clarify, I personally think this is something that should mainly be done as a sort of "remix" of existing videos, rather than hard-wiring it in a new CH release. I agree that it would be pretty distracting/off-putting to a lot of people and would probably be more trouble that it's worth for most video creators.

That said, there's a decent-sized group of "competitive-minded" CH fans on here that would probably really dig a way to play against someone without having to deal with all of the complexity and hassle of webcams and such.

Different strokes for different folks, so to speak.
