Round 2 was my favorite - I seemed to be riding very close to the edge for a lot of it. In round 2 the first and second parts were the best (but anonymous arses aren't as interesting to me).

I also thought the warmup was one of the best I've seen.

It feels nitpicky, but I felt the thing which I felt most detracted from the production was the beat meter.

• you had complex beats
• you didn't have any indication when the beat changed
• there wasn't a mark in the location in the middle where the beats happened

These meant I had to focus on the beatmeter more than I'd like (and the action less than I'd like). I wonder if the reason round 2/warmup were my favorites were partially because I could focus on the action more due to their simple (and rarely changing) beats?

However overall I liked the music selection, the model/scene selection and the tempo/progression. For a first time creator this is great, and I look forward to seeing your next creation.

wellrested wrote: Fri Oct 25, 2019 6:58 am The beat indicator could be as simple as making the first beat (or first set) of a new pattern blue rather than white if you want something unobtrusive, but which would catch your eye. That would mean you only watch the beatmeter just after a beat change and not all the time.

I only noticed the lack of a static mark for the first few beats after a break (particularly if they were lots close together I either missed them, started them too early or had to stare at the beat meter for too long).

Sacré bleu! I lost at round 6
Also, I think Round 2 was especially good

I think it felt really french, in all the good ways. Classy, well-made, good-looking, inviting, but also, fun! Warmth, sunshine and love right when you need it the most!

When I look outside my window, I see cold rain pouring in the darkness. This was everything that we're missing xD It's a chef-d'oeuvre and it went straight among my all-time favorites, les classiques.

That's a great idea! I know that some CHs in the past implemented this, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

The only question I have now is, how would I indicate something like a very short rest?

I thought of a compromise. I can include a middle mark from the beginning of the round, until the first beat, and then get rid of the mark afterwards. I can also bring it back in if there's a bit of a rest between notes.

First of all, thank you for creating this fun and awesome experience! I had such a good time with it!

I have to admit that it took me three tries to even reach the point where I read my name in the credits and felt really, really flattered! Thank you for that! That being said – losing control to French Riviera was such a sweet sensation!

I loved the beats! Easy to follow (I only had a bit of trouble during the second part of round 1 – but not so much, that I couldn't enjoy it! It just took me a moment to get into the rhythm), challenging without being unfair! I hate these super hard beats that are only beatable with a really numb cock.

The music was superb as well! God, french is such a sexy language! Really catchy, great vibe and super fitting for the whole tone of your video! Speaking of vibe: I LOVED the vacation-setting of French Riviera! It really felt like a time off! I was so sucked into this world with all your lovely girls, the ocean, pools, perfect weather ... such a wonderful daydream to sink into!

Your girl-selection was also amazing! So many favorites of mine that made me think: "Shit ... okay ... I'm not going to survive long ...", while playing! By the way: It was really fun and interesting to see how two creators can handle the same material so very differently. You have a few scenes in it that I also used in Dreamgirls and a few more that I already implemented into Dreamgirls Arcade, so I expected these scenes to be a bit of "boring", considering how well I already knew them from using them myself. But that wasn't the case. I felt like you've put your focus on other things than I was. In combination with your whole editing, choice of music, captions (which I really enjoyed as well!) and so on, it was far away from boring for me!

Like I said, the caption were a great addition! Also loved the little, clever details like the "follow the flower"-thing or how you teached the player the french word for butt! This brings me right to the butt-round, which was GREAT in my opinion! I'm not even a butt-enthusiast! Actually, I mostly focus on faces, breasts and tummies, but this round felt so "out of context" that it felt so fun and refreshing! Like you asked: "Feeling good? Getting used to the beat? Yeah? Let's change that!"


The fast beat came right at the right time, stopping me from getting desensitized from the steady beat! Also the really quick cuts were a thrilling contrast to the lovely slow motion shots! Just the perfect balance!

In short: French Riviera was a LOT of fun and is VERY well made! Such a great addition to the CH softcore genre and a new favorite of mine! Thank you for creating this!
