The art was even better before the release

This is exactly what I'm talking about. There was a change in art style midway through development.

I understand it likely saves on time, but that saved time is nullified when you go back and "demake" scenes.

That's probably the reasoning behind it. But the current difference in quality between newer scenes and older ones is not something hidden.
Still kinda sad it's butchered and not utilized somehow as a bonus ingame content. The artworks like this was the reason for me to follow this project.
Aurelia is one of the only few 18+ games that I played. I remember seeing Walnus' art back in the day (the botanist, if you know you know), and falling in love with his uniqueness (it is still pixel art, but done tastefully, with good animations too).
When I saw that he was working on a game project I was inmediately curious and started playing the early playtests. It is sad that some of his art was removed in the final version; they should have left them as some mementos of the developing project in the journal. But oh well, at least the project is finished, although not at the level we expected (it is still a good game in my opinion).

I think that they rushed the hint system, because the journal often shows hints even when there is no more content for that character.

To complete all Ambers content, you need to interact with all the girls in the brothel. There are some shared content with all the girls of the brothel.
I've interacted with all of them in every way I can think of, and I'm missing scenes from each one.

Eventually talking to the brothel manager about the brothel's problems will lead to a new "problem" and after that you should get a new heart icon on one of the doors.

There's a cheat code to increase money drops. You could also just edit your save file with an online save editor to give yourself a bunch of money and not worry about it again.
I'm trying to make the gold bracelet work but it drains too much money so either its a troll item or I'm just missing something

I am comparing image to animation. This scene was redone and it's animated now. However the image you see on the 0.31 wasn't exactly a still one. There was some progression and her facial was changing during it.
But what's left of it is just a small preview in the Journal in 1.00.

Not sure if any other scene was redone this way. There are reports in this thead that some of the previous scenes aren't in this version.

That's probably the reasoning behind it. But the current difference in quality between newer scenes and older ones is not something hidden.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only one version is animated, isn't it? The old one looks like one of the stills the game had that was mentioned to be changed into an animated one.
Yeah, the original was a still and not animated.
Tough call. Either highly detailed stills or animations that are less detailed, but fit in with the rest of the game.
Like many, including the OP in this train, said, that it's a comparison between animated and still. Personally, I think it's better when animated, even if it's graphically inferior. I would like to add though that "wasn't exactly a still one" is a bit deceptive as well. It was a progression of multiple still images (like any animation is as well), but in this case it definitely felt like still images, like reading a comic versus watching a cartoon. So yeah, it was exactly a still one in my opinion :p

I think it's easier to say it's a progression of still images like you would find in your average japanese eroge. ;)

I can't progress with Elizabeth, she keeps saying to wait e nothing happens.
There are two scenes of Elizabeth and one of Eri left to finish the game.

By the way, I finished the dungeon several times and in Ezra's journal it's still like this, is there anything else that can be done?
You have to explore the rest of the map and do other quests before you can continue her story. Did you do the church content? You get those other eliz pictures as you do the main quest. Eri you get after you progressed elizabeth her stuff

Ezra's journal never tells you its complete.

The gold bracelet is honestly a bit overpowered, compared with the other equipable items. Especially if you have a lot of gold. So to balance it out, it would be more obvious to add a big disadvantage such as draining all your gold and not being able to unequip it.

If you struggle with the with the dungeon at Melkor's Tomb, I would recommend using an item that boosts both your Power and Endurance stat (such as the Leefa Nut or Cherry Juice) on top of maxing out both stats with EXP.

But if you insist in using it, you can always use software like Cheat Engine to lock your gold when using the bracelet. But that might or might not brake your game.
