Actually, there is a back button. It isn't easy to see, but it is at the top of the window on the right side. It is a dark color, so it kind of blends in with everything else.
There's a few small reasons to start with:
- Girl "cutouts" will be more clean (sharp outlines are less defined)
- Girl "cutouts" fit better into their backgrounds (lighting differences reduced, and contrast between the respective images is less obvious)
- Personally, I also like the comic feel. It makes the game feel more like a game.
Not only is Mandy clearly not fitting the background, you can also easily see that it is (still) day outside (despite the filter). Of course I could match Mandy with this background:
Aside from the light still visible outside, it now looks like Mandy is basically standing in the bathroom with the lights off, which makes no sense either. I can try to create a manual night version of a photograph, but this is really time intensive and frankly still doesn't look great. For example:
The bits I have edited are quite apparent (removed sun rays, and changed windows). I could try to find other photos, but this seems impossible in some specific cases (keeping in mind the dystopian setting of the game, and the fact that I only have access to free photos). Compare this to the cartoon versions:
So basically, using cartoon filters lets me use more photographs / backgrounds, and therefore add more varied content. I'd obviously prefer to have the game look 100% realistic, but that just isn't possible. The cartoon style seems like a good compromise to me. However, since the feedback was rather negative, I guess I will try to reduce the effect next update.

Why does James Deen have to be used in this? Dude is a rapist, a thief and a woman beater....fits well with his porn career, I guess, cause he's the Bill Cosby of porn. I feel like punching the computer screen when I see his face. 0_O

I chose him for no real reason, except that he is one of the better looking male actors. Though, it had occurred to me that some people will be bothered with what the real james deen did. So I guess I'll replace him. Sorry!
I really appreciate the time you took to highlight these issues. Some of them I have noticed, but they didn't seem so bad to me. I'll try to fix / improve most of your suggestions until the next update. It's really helpful to have this kind of "reality check", and I think making small improvements like these will substantially help the game in the long run! So thanks a lot
If people have problems with James Deen (Accused of raping Stoya his then girlfriend and some sexual harassment) , they will also probably have problems with Riley Reid (Admitted to raping someone to lose her virginity and a man in a movie theater).

It's honestly your project, and that's your decision. In reality, it's impossible for me (or anyone else) to completely avoid seeing him, especially if we're scrolling through the massive porn world. lolI chose him for no real reason, except that he is one of the better looking male actors.

Much respect to you, though.

i feel the game would level up alot by just adding incest patch... but i guess its easier said then done, especially if its not already in the coding of the dialogues to grab prefix for those 2 chars from a different source so we can edit the source.... is that how incest patch works?
But as it is now, i just get an unimmersive feel for the game.. the writing of those 2 girls show alot more familiarity with the MC then just roomate and landlady, yet its not being adressed as such..

I have a question, does the game end when you're supposed to meet Mr. Nomar at the Metacorp office because when I reach the office and I already bought the suit earlier in the game, the story does not progress any further?
Not quite, you also have to wear the suit for the event to trigger. You can change your outfit using the button on the top left.
Btw for anyone else wondering, the next update is coming soon (tomorrow or during next week).
