I know people have asked for this over and over again, but does an older version of BizarreHolyLand exist anymore? If so, is it functional and obtainable? I've looked over some of this game's thread, and it seems like the developer of this game had to 'alter their style' in order to maintain the same quality for all of their future content that's being pumped out at an exponential rate, especially since someone who was working with them on the art (the shader) has left.
Of course, the usual responses say its possible to change back to the modern art, or to deal with the new art in the future. However, there are two problems with this:
- Changing back to the old only applies to PORTRAITS of characters. The main point of every H-game, the H-scenes, remain in that same, altered quality. Said Portraits that can be changed are limited to a few characters, from what I can tell, are at least Sophia and Angela. Other revamped characters stay the same, some which are my personal favorites.
- Its difficult to find old images, playthroughs, or even h-scenes of older versions of the game. While h-scenes can be found in r34 and nsfw media sites, specific image assets are practically impossible to find, even when going through riinnmo's Patreon or Google Image Search. Specific angels/demons I'd like to use as references don't have a high res image, and don't have an alternative sprite in game.
I do have an older version of the game, way back in v3.0, but it has several errors crashing the game on launch. I guess because its out of date from the Renpy engine. If anyone wants to know, it's because of this line:
| Exception: could not find font u'fonts/ParmaPetit-Normal.ttf |
I've put the font in the game files where all the other ones are, but I'm pretty sure its actually an error in the code.
So overall, I'm asking if there's any older version of the game before HMO started revamping the characters, or at the very least, old galleries and images.
