This incest patch is compatible with the Android version.

When fighting it only gives experience for the first fight, after repeating it it only gives the unlocked scenes, there is no solution?

Update: For the sake of context, I'll keep the original message below - the artist in question has since left the team. It was an amicable decision after the artist decided themselves, given that the long-term issues in the region show no signs of improving, he has since decided to pursue a more 'normal' career path and is no longer working as an artist at all. While we were sad to see him go, after exploring all routes and options, there wasn't really much else anyone could do.

In regard to AI, while we still reserve the right to use it if need be, we have since hired on new staff and made some pretty big internal changes. We feel we're in a good place development wise now. There is currently no AI within PB, and there isn't currently any plans for heavy, long-term AI use, at least with regards to the art. If this changes for whatever reason, we will let people know.


Alderian News (Important!)

Hey guys, we have a bit of important news to discuss some potential changes coming.

As some of you are aware, recently, one of our artists has been missing. While they have managed to make contact and deliver some work, communication lines with them are very difficult. We have managed to get a hold of them, maybe once or twice a month. We've been holding back on commenting further on the issue in the hopes that it resolves itself soon, but this does seem to potentially be a long-term issue.

Unfortunately, and while I can't delve too deep into their personal issues, for context, they live in a relatively unstable area in one of the south Americas, with both limited internet issues and rampant gang violence that seems to be having a flair up recently.

We've attempted to find an artist to fill in the void while hopefully things settle, and while the art produced was very high quality, unfortunately, for PB we fear it will just create more inconsistencies in the long run.

Furthermore, we're not exactly thrilled at the prospect of kicking someone while they're down, (aka, firing them and replacing them altogether), due to circumstances completely out of their control.

As such, when we did manage to have contact with the artist, with their permission, they agreed to allow us to use AI when necessary, based on their art to create new scenes possibly given the circumstances.

I want to stress that none of the art staff are being let go, in fact, we've hired on MORE art staff recently and their regular work will continue as normal.

Furthermore, any AI art produced, we plan to have the existing artists check it over to ensure it's the highest quality we can get it.

We further hope, of course, this approach will help speed up our production, but we are still entirely committed to delivering the highest quality we can.

We haven't made this decision lightly, we had many internal debates, and we're aware of the sensitive nature of AI, but we hope given the circumstances, and how we're handling things, you and the rest of our fans will be understanding.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If the situation changes for whatever reason, we will let you know.

Thank you.

Do you have the PC version too of v 0.161 fix? Perchance.

Erika's hat makes her look kind of stupid can't take her serious as an inquisitor with that thing on her head lol. View attachment 4523201

This is from 0.158 Erika/sis looks better because of not having that hat and also her armour looks good and yeah her tiddies too lol.While the new version has looks like a cosplay with the hat and the dress instead of armour and also smaller tiddies lol.

Eww, they fucked the art.

 

[Sayajin2205]

Well atleast it was art but from what I read they are going to use Ai for art I don't care about Ai but most of the Ai art looks bad lol.Also they are doing a second project which is prequel which has a good artist but tha main game will use Ai.The reason for Ai is silly too it is to avoid inconsistencies with artstyle better to have inconsistencies than use AI in your main game Also this game is always going through some problems.

Oh god, I wasn't sure if It was Ai at first and I was hopeful i wasn't. Ai slop is gonna hurt this game already with a few glaring issues. I mean why redo the art? That almost never works out well for most games. Like that Danny Phantom game (artist quit or left tho) and they redid all the previous artists scenes.

I was so about to buy the game on steam too. I know it isn't a lot of money but I'm just jaded after so many bait and switched or uncompleted games. Already Ves (The main reason my attention to the game was drawn) has been completely changed to something that so far feels far less unique. What is this AI going to be used for? Scene art, character art, location art? Etc. That's all very important to know.

There's not any AI in the game yet. I haven't even looked at a single sample of AI to decide if it gets the pass or not. (And I've made it clear in a line-up, I expect it indistinguishable.)

No.

Inconsistencies pile up and need to be fixed, and the end product looks terrible the more out of control those inconsistencies get. Having inconsistencies is not *better.*

Better than anything Ai tho side game with the famous adventurer gets better artist than the main game . People loved the art of this game.It used to look unique and to now have Ai art each time it gets downgraded it's just a sad state for such a cool concept and plot.First it was getting artists who draw everything too soft which looks out of place for the setting to now getting AI art.

The AI is literally, with permission, being fed art from the artist in question.
The artist who, otherwise, we'd likely have to fire if we didn't do this.

... And again, if it looks shit, I'll just reject it...? I have no interest in something that doesn't look indistinguishable.

I already said I don't care about Ai being used in that sense you don't need to tell me about it I know you guys are supportive to artists what I really care about is Ai doesn't look as good .Ai. Art can look somewhat good but has the weird shine for some art style , regardless this game for the last 2 years have been always going through something artists always having problems and you guys supporting them which is noble but the game suffers and I honestly just don't trust Ai delivering good.I don't believe the game will look good enough with that.This game has one of the better settings and one of the best writing as you can choose to do be a hero or even a bad person or somewhere in between and the storylines are great too but the art part has been going downhill for this game,first the new artstyle chosen looked so soft that it felt it didn't even belong in the setting and now you will be adding AI.These are just my thoughts I honestly don't believe AI being good enough.

The game doesn't have any Ai right now that's just a different artist

If the AI fails to deliver, I'll reject it. My goal is very much "Can I and others tell in a line-up if it's AI?"
If the answers yes, it'll be rejected. Otherwise, it's just adding more problems.

As for the character art changing, the old character artist left, and while the new artist did have some early designs that weren't as detailed and as popular admittably, I feel they've improved significantly over time and broadly speaking, we get a good reception from the character art we produce now. (I am, however, always pushing my artists to improve and do better.)

This looks clean but Erika's armour/clothes looks like she is cosplaying even if you remove the hat,The new artist draw the faces fine but most of the time the clothes/armour look wrong too soft,too cosplay like.But yeah good luck to you guys.

 

[TheCragger]

Does anyone know who the original artist for character sprites was? I'd just really like to see if they have a gallery out there to watch. I don't expect lostraven to say who it was out of reasonable fears. I'm just very curious who designed the original Ves.

I would say, but I genuinely cannot remember that artist's ID anymore.

I've enjoyed my time so far, let's see what else Mirnos has to offer.

I agree with you it had really cool art style . I understand to make it simpler to draw it over and over again for updates ,but I think currently it is to over-simplified and looks like AI made
