There was no official statement about that. Maybe on discord, but not here.

It's possible to say a few things about what changed, but not about the reason. For the first half of the past year there was talk about replacing the old renders while continuing the game and then in autumn a complete rework was announced.

I can of course only guess, but I'd say that he wasn't happy with some design decisions (code, managing overlays and so on). Reworking the old renders would have meant to a) stick to the flawed system or b) havig two different systems running at the same time. Both is a pain in the ass, b) even more so. Remaking everything with the new one would make more sense from a programmers point of view. He already has a sh**tload of renders, but he needs to split them into overlays again. The new data structure seems to be a bit more straightforward and better organized and while there are actually more clothing options now, he has one image per option and not sometimes split top and bottom (bra, panties, 2 options for each ) and sometimes one overlay that handles the whole body (towel for example). It's a bit easier to handle with less potential for bugs.

Thank you for taking the time to explain. Though it seems no apparent reason is available. I'm not a programmer or artist, but in all honesty the points you listed sound to me a bit feeble (if true of course)..

Sadness abounds, it's like BB is cursed to never continue beyond the base game's content lol

in my opinion he is exploiting his subscribers I have been following him for a while looking for a reason to be able to support him but today I can't find it I think he could have easily put these updates in the continuation of the game graphics new parts so he doesn't inspire me much confidence

then I don't like the fact that with the game already quite advanced I started all over again and added only very few scenes I'm not convinced

(quick update to Mod)

Rebuild Mod v0.01.02
https://f95zone.to/threads/big-brother-another-story-rebuild-mod-v0-01-02-onlyfunz.150953/

Change-Log
v0.01.02 for BBASr v0.01.00
  • Changed the way Hiding Clotheswork:
    • Once you Enable to "Hide Clothes with UI" in Settings, Hiding the UI also hides "Clothes" & "Watermark".
    • If you don't select to Hide Clothes in Settings, Hiding the UI only hides "Watermark", Clothes will be visible.

I wasn't aware of that "remove clothes" option when hiding the UI, that immediately explains why the renders lost the somewhat still realistic look, sprites are rendered out of the environment and the light on them just doesn't look as good compared to what it would be when rendered in the actual environment

probably could be improved with generating unique HDR backgrounds, but that might be a lot of fiddling and prone to problems, more trouble than worth, but also good enough excuse to start over after 6-12-18 months :KEK:
 
  • Yay, update!
  • Haha

What in the sex penis is rebuild version? can someone give me a quick run down?

Sure, i'll do my best. A rebuild is when the dev becomes so lazy to write the story, so instead they scrap the entire game, remove all content and start over just to add some new clothing or a tad better renders whilst taking the game back to bare bones. They will usually try to justify the move by saying the 'coding ' is cleaner in the rebuild, or the 'coding' had errors in the previous versions, which is usually a smoke screen.
They could have at least kept all the content and applied the new clothing / renders over the old ones.

I wasn't thrilled about that either when I read about it months ago. By now I have made my peace with it. Let's see if the gameplay really will be smoother and the grind factor smaller, as promised.

So basically. it's another way of devs to milk the shit out of their Patreon instead of finishing their game? classic porn game devs move.

I think it means your current state to access that particular "undressness" state of her, meaning, if you haven't advanced into the story with her or your sneaking fu isn't good enough, you don't get to see her in all detail, have to play the game to get further, increase skills and her particular questline

at least that is how I understand it, because when she is clothed in other areas of the house, and you look at this same info window, then the image is of her in that particular attire and not pixelated

These do-over devs and games are the worst kind especially if update rates were just as atrocious as before. Whenever that happens, it's just time to chuck it out of your life especially those who have supported it before, at least that's how it should be.

I believe very few people were thrilled about the reboot. The issue is the time taken and the content already created may have justified a somewhat more robust release. I'm all for giving him the time to rebuild but I am sitting on the sidelines for now hoping for something a little more fulfilling. The good thing I see though is that he's really cleaned up a lot of the time-wasting content and streamlined the game for a more rapid story development. I just hope he has a story to fill it with. Said it before the root story is the Achilles heel of this so get rid of Eric or continue with him, the mold breaking event is what happens after and who successfully executes it. My opinion.

Have not played Glamour in a bit but when I stopped it was miles in front of all the other versions on the BB side. Have no idea where it's reached in it's storyline but I have seen a few updates since I've stopped. So I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be abandoned but who knows.
