As someone who has been following this game well before I even made this account, the art overhaul situation goes way back. The changes in the October update are largely related to backend layering work. One of the biggest recent editions (the August update I believe) is the ability to mix and match outfits. There are some actual small changes related to how some things look in the October update, but they aren't entire art style changes you would immediately notice (albeit there are some clothes that changed entirely in look i.e. the Socialistic Underwear had a pretty weird change from what used to be plain raggedy underwear to some Victoria Secret kinky shit). One big one was actually Kira's posture. The dev is now drawing Kira from head to toe rather than what used to be just head to knee. This change resulted in a change to her posture. There was also a change to how hips and thighs look in general.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The list of changes you see here almost exclusively consists of bug fixes, apart from the updated visuals for Kira. There's apparently zero new content.
Now, one thing I'm curious about is the updated art for Kira. I only started playing this game after the October update and so I have no clue what she looked like previously (All of the available hairstyles are absolutely terrible, by the way. I love the character model, but the hair is so...bad). Can anyone who is following this title for a while leave a comment and tell me if there's actually been changes to her appearance? Because if the preview pictures on page 01 happen to be the ones with "old" character art, I really don't see any difference at all.
Even some of the descriptions for the handful of bugfixes are vague and not very telling. I'm gonna be honest here. Considering that the last update including actual content- atleast according to other users, has been released what, 1.5 years ago(?), makes this development seem pretty weak. Most if not all of these bugfixes except for the updated character art could be done within a week or two by someone who knows what they are doing.
This developer makes more money on his Patreon than probably 95% of adult VN creators, and so I think supporters should expect more than this. The fact that I've seen many people say that there hasn't really been any progress within the past 1.5 years makes this even worse. I'm new in this thread, but judging by what I've seen so far, one could think that the developer is just collecting money while barely doing any work. People are very welcome to prove me wrong on that one, though.
The end all be all of it is that this art overhaul is going on 2 years now and so much has been rehashed multiple times that cataloguing it would be a Sisyphean endeavor; it could just change again in a future update. If what the dev claims is true, this next update will finish off Kira's art overhaul and they will be moving on to overhaul other characters and develop new content.
