You can't say...
In a crowded forum full of this game's super fans and expect anyone to be 100% nice to you in reply. TBH, I was just going to ignore the comment. You are fortunate that you got a decent reply at all.
Devs skills DO improve as their games progress, sometimes from one game to the next, other times during the course of the same game. The latter is the case here. In my signature, you will see two other games that are among my top favorites of all time, like Artemis. BOTH show notable improvements from the early game through the later chapters...The spoiler has just two examples of many dozens that I could list but will not further take away from Digi.B's exceptional game to do so here. Some devs do go back to update their early work to reflect their improvements, others do not. However, I will not criticize a dev for making improvements midgame. In fact, I say thank you to them for making the improvements when those skills and/or resources came available to them.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I mean you no insult and bear you no malice... just a word to the wise to think before you speak. The example images you showed do NOT look that bad yet I do see the difference with a more greatly enhanced quality in the late game renders. To that I say, "thank you for improving your skills, Digi.B!" But, you'll not hear me say earlier renders "look like hell" just because the later renders look better.

(Ran out of reactions, have to reply) Luckily for me, I only played on Full HD (1080p) so the early renders did not look that bad, but I would imagine if let say playing on Ultra, 2K, 4K, 8K or whatever the upper echelon resolutions on a 27+ inch monitor (some of the earlier renders) must have been looked like.
Had to replay from the start due to a case of saves going *poof* so I got to see first hand how bad the early renders looked. And I don't mean "bad" compared to other VNs, they're still quite okay. It's just that the more recent renders look so much better, and the newer animations are exceptional as well.
My bad about the screen resolution because it is purely my speculation because I have not played any games (adult or not) on any screens other than 15 inch LCD 1080p. I wholeheartedly agree that the renders had improved a lot and were just referring to some earlier ones, for me it does not look that bad but perhaps because of my display and resolution. I just thought that higher resolution would exaggerate the player dissatisfaction because of upscaling or something like that, but yeah purely bad speculation on my part. Cheers.
I, congressman John McClane approve this messageHad completely forgotten the story, well at least some parts. So I did a total restart and that was good. I can only agree, the renders gets better, they are not that great from the start. Still, the story is so great that I didn't think about is it so much. The MC has no poker face and that's so funny.
. I should probably had used that terms earlier, not that great instead I used the opposite, my bad. It is more in line to what I had experienced playing the game myself.
Yep! That was my point when the subject was first breached... the improvements are a reason to THANK Digi.B, not complain about the initial image quality. Hopefully Digi.B will return to those initial renders to give them the updated treatment once the full game is completed. However, the improvements do serve as a mile marker to indicate how this dev grew during the production of this fine, fab, and brilliant title!
I feel like updating the earlier versions of the game might be too much work to be worth it. Because not only did the textures and lighting get vastly improved, but also the posing, facial expressions and all the little animations.
If he wants to put this game on Steam, reworking earlier images might be imperative.
I think you're overestimating the discernment of the average player ... I suspect most people won't be bothered by the quality of the early works.
