The only new scene was "shower" in 0.4.9.8
“Mother Pregnancy” Vivarium event in 0.4.9.9a was reuse of already in game art.
Didn't find third one.
Total "Art overhaul" is constant. I remember three already.
Shower. The Vivarium scene could
barely be considered a reuse of art and includes the most in-depth usage of animation in the game to date. The final one is 'A Modest Proposal' that just came out within the past 2 months. This quest and event is actually 2 separate sets of art and animations depending on what you decide to do with the Chief Officer, so it's really more like 2 scenes, but we'll go with 3 because an extra isn't needed to prove my point.
The narrative that nothing has been done over the past year is not only a completely beaten and decayed horse, it is now demonstrably wrong. Yes it was true for the previous year and a half-span (all 2022, most of 2021), but it just isn't anymore. Find a new criticism. And I'm not just talking to you. You can scroll back throughout the entire past year and find people making that identical criticism, usually >1 per page, all the while Mulan is releasing consistent Progress Reports and polls, with both main updates and bugfixes. There is plenty to criticize about the game currently, so it boggles my mind why people continue to parrot the "Mulan does nothing" sentiment. Here are a few criticisms that you can hijack to continue to hate on the game:
- The art overhaul is taking way too long/don't like it.
- Mulan isn't working on the part of the game that I want him to.
- The game has too much reading.
- I don't like Mulan reusing art for pop-outs and mini-events.
- I don't like the schedule of flip-flopping back and forth between technical and story updates.
- Why does Mulan tease stuff that isn't ready to be released/isn't implemented in the following update?
I may not agree with really any of those, but they are all absolutely valid criticisms that have come up on the Patreon and Discord and generated discussion around them. If your intention is to just scrape the bottom of the barrel, sure continue to parrot the false criticism that Mulan doesn't do anything, you're doing a great job. If you want your feedback to actually be taken seriously by Mulan and generate a modicum of meaningful discussion, please find a new thing to be mad about.
