Hard to believe this game has been around for 5 years and only has this much content. I am shocked there are almost 1000 patreon subs still spending money on this.

Nope, it is better. The details were improved, the colorization too, shadow and lightning are better and there's more identity to the style. Trust me, I draw manga. I can see the improvement.
Yes, you draw an original work. This is a DERIVATIVE, PARODY work. Therefore the art is not "better" when you stray from that original, it's worse. We can play ten thousand different anime waifu games-- this is a parody of a SPECIFIC TV show, with a Butch Hartman art style. They are removing themselves from that art style.


But even in a vacuum I'd personally disagree. I prefer the type of detail they did in the first version. Made the clothes look tighter, it was nice.

Since when Danny Phantom's art style is Butch Hartman? You believe that fraud? The one who design Danny Phantom's art style wasn't him, it was Stephen Silver. Get that fact first right.

You have no idea of what you're talking about...
Just because you have a like to the one before, doesn't mean it can't get better. By what you're saying you probably have no experience with drawing, so don't argue about something you don't know. You're only disliking because YOU have a preference.

Art changed after the Redux update (7.5), when they introduced the new Jazz art. The other characters are more or less the same, although in the latest update (0.9.x) Ember and Desiree got some nice uplifting.

Regarding the game state: it seems the studio got its hands quite full when it decided to start another game alongside Amity Park, but it finally managed to deal with both production times. Amity Park is getting tech updates for the current version (the 0.9.1+ releases) and the 0.10 will have meaty stuff (new scenes, storyline, etc).

Err? What's drawing and art have to do with derivative works? "Better" ironically enough isn't always "better"-- I'd rather have an art style match the derivative work than be artistically "better". And that's a fact, jack. "The art is better" is an opinion. "The art looks nothing like Danny Phantom" is a fact. The goal of a parody is to look like what it's parodying. Therefore, it is *not* better.

If you're such an artist go make your own game with its own IP and use an artstyle like this to your heart's content. It doesn't fit as well here. That can't be argued.

You're only proving what I said about being YOUR preference. What drawing and art have to do with this?...
EVERYTHING! I didn't wanted to say this but when you draw something EXACTLY like it is, isn't a parody.
It's a literal copy and paste, which also can be a crime in some cases.
The game still look similar to the show characters, but have more of it's own style now.
And like I said before, The colors, shadow and lightning and details are better than before.
The "I liked more before so it's better" is NOT an argument about improving it's art.

Reading this thread it's apparent there seems to be a 50/50 split on people who do like the new art style vs people who don't. From what I understand they went through a Patreon vote so the people who pay get the say.

Anymore "I like it" - "I don't like it" should be done through Patreon, not here. We get it.

FWIW I happen to really like the new style, as long as the new character models don't continue the trend of reduced boob size

Well, there's one scene of Maddie in the new art style and she's still deliciously buxom and curvy, so her models should hold true to that once added to match.

As for the other characters, other than Valerie and Desiree I don't think any of the other main or major characters could be said to have big boobs - most of them had that whole triangle chest thing the Hartman style had for most female characters.
