Soon. Second half of January. The text is being translated now and testing is coming soon.

I'm a pretty patient person and I understand that the game is being created practically anew, but some things prevent me from sleeping well.

Many people are aware of this problem, but few know the following:

It used to be a true artist's project, but now it's something ambitious but in its infancy.
Thank you for your attention!

when remake has more content in less time and in space which uses a whole new renders at the same level with more frequent updates also both runs better you know it's the dev but i'm not complaining free is free
This first part is what people are complaining about. If he was producing content faster than before I don't think most people would mind as much wiping out all previous content and starting from scratch. The problem is it doesn't seem like the rebuild improved his development speed. Maybe it's too early to tell. I do like what he produces but the speed at which he produces it is slower than most devs I follow. There are others with release schedules that follow similarly long timelines but usually they produce WAY more content per release.

Their excuse now is that they have old cpu? 4 years of milking and now you’re telling the public about this? look at this dev's lies. That was one of the worst lies. Congratulations suckers and keep being cows.

Nah dude, that's my comment on the developer's statement about better quality and realism.
It's about my ancient laptop that I bought 11 years ago. And on a new one I just don't risk running the game, as the quality will be even worse.
Here is an example below. How it is now, and how it should be approximately:

In my opinion the second one is overexposed.
The game should look pretty much the same on every lap top however. You can try to use different rendering modes, but it should not make a difference if your drivers are set up correctly.
If you like the overexposed look and have a HDR screen, you can use Windows 11 internal function to "upscale" SDR to HDR. That achieves a similar effect, depending on the setting.

This is just an example as the first part is severely underexposed with incorrect colour balance. The whole problem is in the shades and lighting. It makes the images look flatter and less dynamic. This is a problem that is easily solved in rendering.
Histograms of old renders show that everything was adjusted correctly there and visually it looked great.
I prefer to just play around and make edits to the text, rather than trying to modernise already finished renders. That's a path to nowhere. Everyone should be doing their own thing.
The developer and artist at the same time knows this, but he has no plans to improve himself anytime soon. Sorry, but it's utopia. Why try to improve something later when you need to correct the exposure here and now?
It's kind of ridiculous that visually the third generation models in the game look so much better than the eighth generation models.

It's actually V2 of his work, he already changed lighting and everything. The first part of the legacy version looks a lot different.
Maybe this is how he wants to do it?
The good thing about his current file structure is that he can replace elements of a image without redoing everything. We'll see where it goes.

I don't post much, but I wanted to emphasize & re-iterate on something that Mysters90 mentioned.
No one would be minding it much, if the content came out at decent speed. Maybe not very fast, but at least consistently and similar to before the rework.
But despite promising that "the rework is gonna make it look so much better, and it will be so much easier to create the scenes" (roughly quoted fromthe statement about why we are reworking a recreation of a re-imagination of the continuation of a game from years ago...) the progress has slowed to a crawl, the quality is maybe marginally better - if at all.
Catching up with the status of the legacy version seems like an impossible task. And that was announced to happen within a year, if I remember correctly?!
So now, it really just seems to be an infinite time sink where, if (!) we ever get a completed experience, it will probably be after GTA seven.

No, it's still the same. Lighting problems in the form of diffuse light and incorrect colour balance.
If Angelo Badalamenti's composition were used here, it would be a real "Twin Peaks". Because everything is done in dark colours.

And I have to quote the developer again:
I'd be willing to give a damn about the wait if the artist appreciated the detail in the images. He used to, but now he probably doesn't care.

Ok, should not have said "first", but "early". He changed the model during the development of the legacy version and replaced a bunch of renders. I think the one with Lisa in the bath is still original in 0.9.
I am not completely happy with the new style either, especially the "wet" pics in the shower or at the pool look a bit strange, way too shiny.
The 'flat' look .. I'm ok with that. A little stronger shadows would have been nice, but it's definitly better than the old shots were.
While I defnitly also play this game for the visuals (# NeedMoreAlice!), they are not the most imortant aspect for me.
The worst thing is, all the poses for the characters are purchased (specifically the sexy ones) so they take 5 seconds to apply.
The characters are taken straight from the BB Fan Art thread.
The story is just the original.
Much of the dialogue is stolen from the original (don't know if that's the case in the Russian version).
Guy has people on their knees to test for him.
He doesn't exactly have much to do. It's not like he's doing anything special code-wise.
Even his preview images are low-effort. Un-rendered DAZ scenes? Seriously? Who posts those?
Aleksey still has more content in the Fan Art thread than his game. It's been years...
(Also said content looks better because he hadn't fucked up the lighting yet)
