I didn't mind as much the transition to the new style, while it does feel like a slight step down in quality, there is at least consistency which to me is more important, I guess.
I do hope with the easier time getting the art done, there will be more beef to those updates because they are incredibly short, but with the overall concept of the game and being confined, it's not really easy to really make a lengthy update story-wise, but it would be nice to get at least double the amount of scenes in an update, even if it stretches out the waiting time by a half-month/month for an update (assuming the new process for art speeds up development).
