Hi.
I want to bring focus on a problem customers of mine seem to have with awakened animated faces. With awakening, i mean the need to time, condition sequences based on tapping on the watch, or turning the wrist, short said, awakening the face.
FACER offers this for me and others, needed funktion, tag, #DWE#. That one is incompatible with WFF format. And i think it is right to say from WEAROS6 on. That one, is a big mistake.
I have a GW 5 pro watch, nice watch, with WEAROS5 which i protect with my life so to say. Because i get always this annoying message about this upgrade thing, which i hate. I dont want it. Because, if i did, that means 90 % of my 2.500 faces WONT WORK. They ALL have #DWE# somewhere.
Yeah i know about the necessity to get more and more imposing apps on your watch, but me for one, i dont need it. I am satisfied as it is and it is a lot. I get the feeling, we must change because they tell it. Not me. I dont like the rat race at all.
I asked also AI. Seems upgrade is or has been rolling out for older watches - the new already are only WFF compliant. For some, for me ridiculous, reasons i hear, as battery saving. Which is untrue, if i look - every time - at the power impact statistics inside Facer Creator Page, or on pixel ratio. ALL LOW.
I know GOOGLE is the bigger fish in the waters where Facer wants to swim, but do we and FACER do enough to warn people about the consequences, or does it not matter at all.
I think it does matter a lot, and although we here are forced to play along, still, i think we should warn them at least at every showcasing face. That is why i post here. I have a client you probably all know, BIANCA. She is really a big heart one of the few who writes, interacts about faces instead of the quick liking thing, and a fan of mine. It is sickening to see what has happened. She is very sad. She got the upgrade to WEAROS 6, which means bye bye many many animated faces.
Some problems with #DWE# relating to animations, would also be solved mainly, by getting rid of the 25 images limit. In WFS that is not the case. If i could put 96 frames in a sequence, many problems would disappear. It surely pushes me further and further away from FACER to WFS, if nothing changes. I am pretty close to leaving.
