I finished the update and have to say that it is clear that all the time went into animations and model redo. These take a lot of time and in my opinion prolongated time between the updates is justifiable. Most of the content is in the Sauna scene so I understand the disappointment if you didn't take that route. I know I haven't and had to go back a bit.
I also loved the updated model as it is more realistic and subtle. Big plus here from me. Sophia looked semi plasticky in the previous version. All that skin shine
I think I would prefer the animations were smaller and more subtle in favour of more renders, but this is just me.
The only real grip I have, and this only comes from my artistic experience, is that there are some major anatomical errors that were just sore in my eye, but again this is personal and I understand that developer works with purchased assets rather than sculpting/ modelling everything scratch so I understand the limitations? Unless I am mistaken?
Anyway, my only recommendation would be some anatomical studies to enhance the models, but I have no idea what's developer's experience in the matter.
Lastly, I absolutely enjoy the pace of this VN (story wise) and hope they will not succumb to pressure and keep it as it is.
I managed to grab some screengrabs as Sophia reference. If I get L&P permission I shall do some fanart
