I'm excited about the new Animated pages for Vixine!
I love seeing some of the sex scenes come alive while reading the comics.
Even just the subtle animations make the page look cool.

At the moment the non-animated-pages are not available. They're exactly the same page animated anyways.
We may look into providing the non-animated pages as part of the loyal members area so people can view it there as well.

One of the biggest reasons why we think animated pages are great is that we dont want them to be shared.
Pirated pages has really hurt our sales lately since a large portion of our members that used to be members of the years have come to find ways to get our pages else where. And those who just join and quit to get access to the pages and then leave instead of supporting us.
We're going to be changing our site structure in the future.
I've seen alot of other websites do this and they've been doing it for years and I think we've been taking the wrong approach to doing a comics website.
Other websites that I've seen that are doing comics related materials only keep their content up for 8 weeks, and require members to purchase "back updates". Their subscription is only on the latest updates. This ends up getting members to stick around if they want the latest comics or they'll miss out. (quitting and rejoining later doesnt get you everything anymore in that type of site.)
In the real world, when you buy a subscription to a comic series, the publisher will only send you the latest issue every month. You don't get everything from the start. ON our site we give people the stuff from the beginning so you can get a full read.
So don't be surprised when we remove old comic pages from our site and putting it into an archive later for purchase.
We're still working on an idea that will make people happy though! More soon! _________________ "Every exit is an entrance somewhere else." -Tom Stoppard

Hello,
I just saw that all the short stories are now down, they all give an empty flash page.
I thought it was from your new policy but I don't see anything about the short stories in your text.
Is that normal or a bug?
Thanks.
P.S: For the animated pages, a stop button wouldn't be a bad idea for those who doesn't like it. |

Well i haven't checked the forums for a while and spotted this thread on the new features of the main site, so i thought i'd give my thoughts ^_^
I personally really enjoy the new feature - the animation cover on the main site looked spectacular, loved the mist animations and the new update on the dripping/water effects, plus the blinking really added a new dimension to the art ;D
So naturally seeing the whole comics become animated was a VERY pleasant surprise for me. I love the new direction of the site and the animated pages are a great feature to have in celebration of the 10 years vixine.com has existed. Excellent work!
I see it as a big bonus to the comics, and a great way to showcase the animation talents; the games provided some animations in the past which i really enjoyed and seeing this in the main comics is a true gem for the loyal members of the site.^^
In regards to the original non-animated and a pause feature, i think both would be excellent additional features to have, just in case readers want to pause to read the plot or see the action still ;D
I can understand the need to have these animated in order to prevent piracy and i fully support the intentions of the Vixine staff for doing this. Therefore keeping everything exclusive to the site should keep the work safe from any bootlegging. I think by having everything on the site its fair to the sales of vixine.com and its loyal members who are willing to stay on and pay to view the comic.
It's simple - if you want to read the comic, join as a member and support the series properly. If you are not willing to pay, then don't join, there's plenty of other yiff art on the net to be seen. But don't steal any work from paysites; if your not willing to pay then you have no right to view it.
In regards to the pages, I think what can be done is to keep both animated and non-animated pages, just make the pages unsavable, that way only members of the site or loyal members can access the content.^^
All in all, i am very pleased with the new animations and the direction the site wants to take with its content, and i shall be looking forward to seeing the new changes to the structure of the site.^^
Excellent work as always from the Vixine team! Thank for all the hard work you've put into the site recently, and shall be looking forward to more of the sites development and the main series - keep up the fantastic work!
D! ^_^ |

Thank you dandabar for your comments.
Your suggestions are good ones. And We will definitely be considering them and applying them soon. Just hang tight for now.
There will be a massive change coming in the new year with the way we are structured. I mentioned it briefly on Bon Bon as well.
We are building a single sign on account that will allow all members to create an account for free. And any purchases made to pages will go to your permanent "collection" of "mystuff". So even if people cancelled, they can view what pages they unlock with their page tokens. We're working on a way to allow people to collect their pages so they can brag on the forums. Have it appear on their profile as badages.
More information on all this will be coming soon!
We plan to award tokens to pass members who have paid in the past so they can unlock older pages. _________________ "Every exit is an entrance somewhere else." -Tom Stoppard

Short stories broken? I have to check that and see. Might be bugged. _________________ "Every exit is an entrance somewhere else." -Tom Stoppard

It was bugged. I had code that was creating the html pages for the Issue #15 animated pages and it affected the short stories and other loyal member pages causing them to break.
It's all fixed now! Thank you for the report!
