Based off the render of that pair of heels it looks like the new game also has the shit 3D monster art too, such a shame
You are right, but for the wrong reason.
The author said that the image is temporary (in the previous post), and (if memory serves) taken from CwG assets. So this image is absolutely no indication of what the future game will be.
That said, the author stated that he
enjoys working with 3D and he
wants to continue working with 3D. So he
will.
Personal note: if the past is any indication, he's going to continue to improve his art.
Over the development of CwG, we saw both his 2D and 3D art improve by leaps and bounds.
The switch to 3D may be controversial, but the progress is undeniable.
