[RELEASE] Cock Hero - Extra Bounce

[kerkersklave]

My next project (due very soon - just doing titles and credits and such now) actually has three modes! :D

That sounds amazing, looking forward to the fast and the edging mode

[MrCandyMan]

Honestly, making simple patterns is a lot easier and the only reason I had more complex ones in my first two titles was that I wasn't sure what I was doing, so I just tried to follow what felt like the dominant beat layer at different parts of the mix.

That might actually be an important thing that you maybe did by accident. If the beat follows the music, the music and the stroking for me somehow fuse. It is a bit like dancing, I stroke to the music, the beat pattern is just there to tell me, which rhythm in the music to follow. If a rhythm really matches the music, it feels much stronger to me, even if it is not that fast.

I mean, it wasn't really by accident. I just wasn't confident in my ability to make interesting patterns without closely following the music. Having the right music and beats that match it is very important to me, but I find that deviating from the most obvious beat patterns in the music sometimes ends up producing a more stimulating experience overall. The trick for me is to judge which parts of a song would work well as a stroking pattern and which need some tweaking - patterns that are compatible and sound good when layered on top, but aren't replicating the original beats 100%. There's also some consideration of avoiding too frequent changes and trying to have complex patterns repeat at least once so players can improve their performance after the first encounter.

But really, I'm just trying to make stuff I like. I'm not thinking if a project will work as a mainstream or niche CH, but I do try to release polished content based on good video production practices that don't only apply to porn/CH videos. Outside of that, it's all just my personal preference.

I have finally been able to watch the final version of this, i can allready say, masterpiece.
Its my alltime favourite CH video, with Bounce and Super Impossible allready in my top 5.

The quality of this video is just so high, havent seen this level before. Love everything about it.
All the girls, such good choices. And then the music, man, out of this world, it keeps me so hyped during the whole video.

Only thing for me, i'm not really into boss rounds, but yes, truly can not stop watching this video. It's another level.
Just can't stop, this video could be like two hours for me :)

Only question I have, are you maybe allready planning or making the next masterpiece in CH history?

And for everybody else: could you name me your top 3 rounds in this video?
I'm a curious man.

Hey, it's my #1 fan! Glad you liked it and thank you once again for your kind words.

I'm taking a little break, but in a week or two I'll probably release all the Extra Bounce tracks separately with a few new additions to freshen up the experience. As for the next full title, I won't be starting work any time soon. All I can say now is that it will likely be a bit different than Bounce and Extra Bounce. I have a playlist of minimal/techno tracks I'd like to try out in a CH, but I think they'll work better with a different style of porn than what I've mostly been using so far. Maybe something less hardcore and more sensual, like the stuff from Lesbea. Anyway, that will be some ways off so my ideas might evolve by the time I start working on it.

Hello, beta tester here. Haven't checked into your updated release yet, but through a quick skim, I noticed the same issues I had with it that I didn't address since I only got 15 minutes into it when I reviewed it last.

Spoiler: show

So, near the end, it got waaaaaaaaaaaay too 2x heavy. I was expecting something like "4x 7-7, 1-2-3 Normal" as in nothing that complex, but still very hard, and instead I kinda got to a point where I just didn't follow the 2x prompt because it was happening too often and I waited until a more interesting beat happened. It was a shame too because I liked the girls, for the most part, but I was getting pretty desensitized to it. Like I would have lost early and often in the later rounds if I did follow it, but I would've been bored doing so. It's comparable to a "just getting it over with as quickly as possible" fap in a Cock Hero. Love the material overall, and I understand you were put into a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation lol, but I do hope for more variety in either your next release or on if you provide a Hard mode. PS If you do a hard mode, do not get shy with sprinkling the 4x's in, but don't get too heavy with it since I don't need a forearm workout. Even in short bursts combined with simple beat patterns they make it more exciting.

Mr CandyMan, did you get some PM from me like 10 minutes ago?
Because it's still in my outbox, so not sure if it is sent to you.

Messages sit in the outbox until they've been read. So that just means that the message is sent, but they haven't looked at their messages yet.

I loved Bounce so much and a 90 minute sequel looked like the CH of my dreams. Finally found time to watch it have to agree that it’s the greatest ever made. Amazing job Mr Candyman

[MartyVice]

I disagree with the comments saying the beats are too simple. They are perfect! I am not a fan at all of the overly complex beats. What drives me over the edge and causes a build up to an orgasm is the steady beats in each round that you know you will have to endure for the remainder of the round. If I am constantly guessing eat the beats, I am not engaged in the video, and it kills the buildup to orgasm at untimely times.

I hope to see more of your work like this video.

[Toodo]

Are there any updates on when to expect the seperate rounds?

[Rev]

I would like to say that I loved the first Bounce, but the second one looks so much worse. I'm talking just about the video quality. I hate that still there are some videos that barely look 720p so I was suprised that the first Bounce actually looked nice. This on the other end does not. It looks like every frame is a mix of two seperate frames which makes everything that moves slightyly extremally blurry or choppy. I know that most people don't really care that much about the video quality and I'm sure that the video is as great as the first one, but is there any chance you still got the source files and would be willing to encode it so it looks better? Thanks

By the way I don't really know why so many people fear big filesizes that make high quality video. Memory is super cheap, and downloading over 5GB from MEGA is so easy with so many free VPNs like Windscribe. Encoding in higher bitrate would make the video render just slighty longer. Maybe some have a bad Internet connection but then even 3GB to download would be a problem. I'd love to see creators take video quality into account more or even shift to 4K cock hero production. I know it's easy to say, but it's 2021. At least we should expect hight bitrate 1080p content.

Finding enough good content in 4k or even high bitrate 1080p can be a challenge in itself, especially when you have a certain progression or theme in mind. :)

That said, I make all of mine in 1080p (though I don't check bitrate for the footage I find). Even then, gathering all the initial footage to vet through more or less fills one 4TB drive. Archiving the source files for a single CH vid (mine are 30-40 minutes) is still 60+GB each at 1080p. Space actually becomes an issue for me, just from running out of drive bays (a couple of SSDs dedicated to system, apps and games, and two 4TB storage drives, one that's totally dedicated to torrenting material for the next CH and one that's all my other storage). Rendering a 1080p CH vid takes me 3-4 hours, then another 3-4 hours for the Handbrake pass afterwards. I've got a 300Mbit synchronous connection, so uploading isn't a big deal, but most people don't have all that much upload.

Not that people shouldn't do 4K if they have the resources, but even in 2021, I still claim creating stuff in 4K requires a lot of them, more than the average person has available. So for now I'm sticking with 1080p on mine, anyway. :)

I don't have the hard drive space to store piles of 5 gigabyte files. I'm finding myself deleting content I love because it over 2 gigs and I know if I keep it somewhere else it has a chance to be deleted. If I "import" something on MEGA and it gets taken down for copyright on someone else's MEGA, it disappears off of mine. Plus it's a complete pain to download from MEGA just to watch one porn video, it often takes 3 tries and the MEGA blob download format often eats through more memory than the files I'm downloading which doesn't make a ton of sense and it's not like we all have 16 gigs of RAM and multiple terabytes of storage. I generally watch something, like it and want to keep it and not risk losing it off of a cloud resource. Tons of people just learned that the hard way with Pornhub content they loved and didn't download. You can make a very high quality video less than a gigabyte per hour, so why make a 1 hour video 4 gigs?

Electro - storage is cheap. Well worth the investment in a 2TB external HD. Mine has most of the Cock Hero videos and stim/script tracks, the entire archive from socialstim and anything posted there, a load of movies from creators here too. It's only 1/2 full. When DMCA takedowns started happening more regularly, I'm glad I was hoarding.

I really prefer to keep all this off my work machine; in the "before times" I did a lot of presentations and my laptop is rather promiscuous with hooking up, so it's also a bit of privacy/security. I have another 2TB working as machine backup and network storage (music mostly).

Does anybody know where i can find a funscript for the Cock Hero Extra Bounce video. The newest version, with some added rounds.
I did found like two funscripts for Extra Bounce, but they are not synced with the video at all. Hope somebody can help me, its my favourite video.
