[RELEASE] Cock Hero: Busty Daydreams

[ComboNo1]

I tried this out tonight but noticed that the video looked stretched out. Upon further study, it looks like instead of overlaying the beatmeater on top of the source footage, the footage is instead vertically compressed to make room at the bottom for the beatmeter. This has the effect of making everything look too "fat" and unnatural. I've seen Cock Hero videos where an occasional scene had a screwy aspect, but this is the first time I've ever seen an entire video rendered this way. It was very distracting for me.

It's a shame because the editing looks good and this might be the best beatmeter I've ever seen. I'd love to see a version rendered in the correct aspect ratio.

Did none of the beta testers comment on this?

EDIT: Discovered that it can be worked around in VLC by going to Video -> Aspect Ratio -> 16:10. It's probably not exactly correct, but it's close enough that I can play it without losing my mind. I'll post a proper review after I play some more.

Sorry you found that distracting.

I started out with 1280x720 clips and at first I had the beat meter at 80 pixels. The beta testers mentioned A) that the beat meter was too tall - so I went with 50 px instead, and B) it covered up some stuff at the bottom of the clips I was using, and they thought THAT was distracting.

What I did: I used ffmpeg to scale the video to 1280x672 ( multiple of 8) and put that at the top, and put the 50 px beat meter at the bottom. So only 2 pixels are being covered by the beat meter.

Now is the way I did this wrong from a technical aspect? It probably is.

You are the first person to notice it/not like it, that I am aware of - which is fine, you've got a better eye for that sort of thing than me (and maybe even most people?).

Once again, sorry you didn't like that ... I'm just explaining what I did & how I did it.

Thanks for the compliment on the beat meter too. It turned out well.

Ha! That's actually pretty funny. I'm surprised anyone would even notice 50 missing pixels at the bottom of an image. Maybe partial watermarks were sticking up from behind the beatmeter? In that case, one option in the future could be to cut 50 px from the top of the image and slide it up, or crop out the watermarks entirely. OR scale down the 16:9 image and leave small black bars on the sides. Someone will probably complain no matter what you do.

I've had some more time to spend with this and would like to provide some more feedback!

Your video should have at least had a few days in the spotlight, but the villainous Required dropped Part 1 of Island 4 early. I know how much effort it takes to make one of these and this simultaneous release has made it more difficult for it to get the recognition it deserves.

Positives:

- Arguably the best beatmeter in Cock Hero history. The color changes within the beatmeter really help with beat changes. Combine this with perfectly-timed, well-varied beats and this was a very easy video to play without losing the rhythm.
- Music choice was really good and fit the content and style of the video perfectly.
- Editing wasn't overdone - plenty of long cuts to get to know the girls. You didn't go overboard with too many girls either, which helped with the build-up.
- This does an excellent job of filling the softcore+big tits niche which is underserved by the Cock Hero community. Kudos for doing something different.
- Plenty of content during the reward sequence. A lot of videos cut out very quickly after telling the player to cum, but this video handled it well.

Constructive Criticism:

- Stretching the video content was a very strange choice. I would have strongly preferred to see the footage properly scaled or cropped to make room for the beatmeter. The quick-and-dirty workaround is to force VLC to display it as a 16:10 video, which is closer to the correct aspect and thus harder to tell it's not exactly correct.
- Since this is softcore, I think this video would have benefited from an extra element to help hold the viewer's interest. Either some story, or teasing text, or more distinct themes to each round. As it is, this video does start to feel a little "samey" as it gets into the second half.
- Some of the girls have tits so cartoonishly enormous that I have a hard time understanding who's getting turned on by these women. Island series has the same issue for me. Is it weird that I want to see a big tit video that capped the boob size to more... "human" proportions? File this one under personal preference!


Overall this is a solid video which does an excellent job of giving softcore/big tit enthusiasts an engaging Cock Hero challenge. Just remember to play it in 16:10 for the best experience!

LOL! RL LOL at "the villainous Required" ...

January is Island 4 month. It's THE big release (maybe the biggest Cock Hero release ever - having 4 parts and all), and it's just unfortunate timing on my part when I finished my video and put it out there. I am hoping that maybe my video will get some 2nd looks in February. Good way to spend Valentines Day perhaps?

In any event, thanks for the kind words & the good review Zoltan! The videos you have put out are beautiful and very well done, so it is extra special to hear nice comments from you.

And I appreciate the constructive criticism too ... I'll have to come back later on to answer some points you raised good and bad, as it's not the best time to make this post any longer than it already is (in the middle of some stuff here at home).

Thanks again!
