I just downloaded the EX version out of impulse yesterday, since I finished the game before Karl's dlc came out.
First, I HAD to replay the entire game? The EX version doesn't recognize my original saves nor anything I've unlocked. What kind of dev does this shit?
Second, I thought the main game's writing was bad. But Karl's dlc is simply on another level. Totally nonsensical and annoyingly immature. Nothing anyone does makes any sense whatsoever. There isn't even a good sexual scene, for a dedicated character dlc ffs.
Finally, they changed almost all the main characters' portrait. Most of them are fine, a couple (Don for example) are actual improvements. But there's definitely a style shift. The newer the art, the more they look over-polished. There's definitely some AI involvement for a couple of dlc characters. What sucks though is because of the weird copyright protection, the original version is basically gone. There's a couple of characters that I like the original art better, and I can't access them anymore.
I wasn't happy about how they handled the release so I wasn't gonna support any of their current/future games anyway. Replaying DD just confirmed how terrible they are as a dev/writer/artist.
Sorry for the rant. Don't know where else to post it, since the dev will just delete this if I post it on itchio or discord.
