Is this where I sign up for the 'disappeared for months just to drop a preview' club? Cuz I have a problem with that guy too :coffee:

Jokes aside - it's technically a 'preview' but we're talking 40k words and several new scenes - not exactly a small preview.

What changed? Everything. New art pipeline (took forever to get right but worth it), completely rewritten dialogue, new scenes, full 1080p... Started as a remaster, turned into a proper remake.

Story wise, it will of course feel entirely familiar for now so if you want to wait until the whole Act 1 catches up, totally get it but it's about time stuff is actually happening.

Some decisions I’ve made might not resonate with everyone, but the game is in a place that feels much more polished and cohesive to me.

Updates will be dropping every two weeks for a while too as this is a staged release.

Haters gonna hate, and even more so in this forum. I think the work and effort are amazing, keep it up and many more patrons will follow.

So it's not bad, the frequent animated backgrounds are a nice touch....everything plays very nicely...

but......

months and months and months?? It's basically the same game - as someone pointed out earlier, the graphics were never the highlight here - while Ayumi looks good, it's still fundamentally an ai cartoon game. Plus, when it was originally out it stood alone as one of the few decent ai nts games. So much time has elapsed now it has more competition by way of MNGF, MRL, SoA, Port Haven, College of Mysteria; most of these with equal or better visual fidelity. It'll still attract the anime-lovers more than those other titles, but if it doesn't pick up the pace it risks being left behind as more and more ai titles come up with more frequent updates.
I didn't like any art of these games aside from MRL. I'd say they all have very similar art style - with toned muscles and very voluptuous bodies to the point of distaste IMO, doll like faces and vixen like nympho grins, and that weird EMO makeups. The anime style is what makes this game stand out, and we always knew that the dev is heavily inspired by Japanese culture, Ari and Ayumi are Asian. Drawing thing from Greek and Roman culture is another advantage that keeps me looking forward.

Definitely US Marvel art comics with overly chiseled square jaws and overly bulging muscles (Batman, Sperman), and cartoonish thin legs big torso (Jonny Bravo, Sponge Bob) should be kept away from adult boner inducing content, as they are more comedic weird than sexy. If anything, these games that you listed give me that corny western style cartoon vibes.

Most of the games you have listed are barely a competition both in the art direction and definitely the writing. I agree that for now MRL is unmatched (the quality of that game is insane), and, as much as I don't like it, MNGF is very popular with a lot of people. But, others... Meh

The game is glitching the hell out. Did nobody test this game? The game probably drawing so much every millisecond that previous pictures start showing up glitching everything up.

The visual overhaul is outstanding - truly next-level when it comes to AI images. I believe Tori might be using Flux now. Considering how much Tori has inspired other developers to incorporate AI into their work, I hope this time the improvements will encourage others to raise their quality standards as well.

To me, it feels like witnessing the leap from "Once Upon a Time" to "Eternum" or "BaDIK" in terms of visual quality. However, this also brings up a concern. Those developers have consistently proven their ability to deliver on their promises. In contrast, Tori struggled significantly with the original game, to the point where it had to be abandoned before the "juicy" content even began.

On another note, while the pictures are undoubtedly impressive, the game itself is a downgrade - less than half of what the original offered. Was it worth it? For those who champion "quality over quantity," I’m sure it was. But to me, quality means nothing without consistent delivery. And waiting an entire year just to see a portion of the original with improved visuals doesn’t inspire much optimism.

P.S. Please add a fullscreen option! Oh, and the scene movement can look really odd at times, especially if you pay close attention to the edges.

The remaster looks good, BUT where's the blowjob scene? Do I have to wait another year?

Hey Tori, something I've been worried about for a while is that now Ayumi won't look at the MC during certain sexy scenes like when she touches Terrace in the pool one of the teasers showed her not looking at him like she did in the old version so I was wondering will she still look over and tease the mc sometimes?

I thought the purpose of this remake was something to do with the character art but they look exactly the same. While the story has almost completely and needlessly changed. Some people may like this new direction but I think most had no problem with the original story and we have lost 8 months of possible new story on a needless remake. Worse of all it was only a very small part of the story and at this rate it will be years before we are caught up to where we were.

Kind of comical how MC's penis got resized into tiny while other characters got larger...
P.S that was it? It's like 2/10 content of the previous version. And it took 8 months to make?
There are like 8-10 backgrounds and 20-30 unique pictures CG.
For AI art that's cheap... Duuuuude. This shouldn't have taken longer than 2 months.

So... Another 1 year to reach v5 content size.
It’s really disappointing to see a once decent game turn into such a tedious slog, with little hope of ever being finished. At this rate, an actual FULL remaster could take anywhere from 18 to 30+ months (or forever). Who even asked for this?

So it wasn't just my reflection, Mc has become the usual passive and mini-endowed cuckold, hahahahha, this means NTR, the Dev has abandoned NTS, to please the cuckolded succubi

It mirrors my hope for this game—growing smaller and smaller.
It is not a full remaster. It has even less content than v1. So we are looking into another 12-24 months to reach full remaster.
Why did it take this so long? It's not a hand-drawn art. No animations. You set up your scene and just generate.
This is not a handdrawn art.

This is not consistency of human drawing

Next scene, where is her pigtails/her red ribbons? Character anatomy is different too.

What is this BS?

What sketching he does? Finger tracing over monitor imagining image generation??

So from the posts I read, you made the MC's dick smaller (worse at sex?), Terrace's dick even bigger, and there is still no non-NTS route (like the first version of the game teased)?
