Animated Reconstructions added!

All of the animated reconstructions have now been added as story variations, so you can go ahead and rate and review them!

If this is the only version of a story you’ve rated, it still counts towards earning badges and completing Character Trackers! :tada:

Thanks to @deltaandthebannermen for organising all of this. Next stop are the soundtracks and other reconstructions…

Why’d you have to remind me this existed, shauny? :sob: :joy:

Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

It really is an excellent animation. I highly recommend people go into it with an open mind. It suits the story and there are some wonderful little creative flourishes.

I’m with @deltaandthebannermen on this one. The style of animation, choice of colours and editing of the story actually really suits the bizarre realm of the Toymaker and his games. :slightly_smiling_face:
I think it is a bit cool to shake things up a bit rather than have the same formula and style for all the animations :slightly_smiling_face:

This is a great addition! Thank you @shauny! It motivates one to check out different versions of these stories for comparison’s sake, something that I am planning to do at one point. Case in point: the Celestial Toymaker animation makes the story much more enjoyable than the boring telesnap reconstruction!

Watching the telesnap recon of the scenes in the kitchen and the dancing floor is a downright painful experience on the ears and one’s patience :grimacing::wink:

This is literally the best of the animated reconstructions IMO

Question: If I have only seen the animated reconstruction, should I only rate the animated reconstruction, or should I rate both the animated story and the original story listing?

The idea is that you only need to rate the one you’ve seen - so in this case, just the animated reconstruction.

For all other purposes (tracking characters, earning badges), it will be as if you’ve also rated the main story.

But it also gives you a chance to experience the main story in different ways (other recons for example) and give it a different rating.

Hope this makes sense!

Question:

I know it’s not an animated reconstruction, but will something similar be in place when ‘The Sirens of Time Redux’ gets released, since it drastically alters certain aspects of the original release.

Yes, that will be a “variation” too!
