RomanHume tell her that she needs to get past the idea of re-doing the old scenes. Lots of games die when devs decided to remake it from the start in HD, it's a daft idea. Changing the hair can be just handwaved in the story as a change of style.

New content attracts new people, remaking the game takes time and isn't a money maker.

It even actively annoys people who still 'hang on'.
"Oh, an update aweso... oh, just another remake. Fuuuuuuck." - me, countless times in the last months.
Plus, it always comes with that reek of milking, especially if the game hasn't even moved all that far or doesn't even have a dated look.

This caught my attention, simple question, yes or no answer, as it stands today does the story come to a satisfying conclusion?

The biggest difference is she doesn't want to fuck around with environments.
I've enjoyed some games that did a mixed style where the majority of the game is characters in front of static images (be they stylized photos or renders for locations that keep getting reused) but they would still have full on rendered scenes for important sequences i.e. sexy time or big story beats as opposed to "MC goes to work at the office, he stands in front of a .png"

Games like Light of my Life and Healslut make pretty good use of this "character sprites in front of a static image" system for the dialogue scenes, which obviously saves a lot of time and effort, but they still do full renders for "action" scenes.

But if your artist doesn't want to do environments at all I don't think that's acceptable. Removing and remaking all the existing good art on top of it is a waste of time and frankly kind of taking a butcher's knife to the game's legacy. Also not really a fan of the "so blurred, it looks like you're having a stroke" style in the first place. I'd personally take real renders and no animations over the opposite any day.

Look, this is one of my absolute favorite games and I'd love to see where you'd take it next, even with a somewhat downgraded graphic style, but this is too many compromises. I always thought your writing was the most important part of the game, but the great renders and music choices really put it over the top and made it a full experience.

I'd rather wait another year for a real update than have some cheap knockoff version.

When that happens just report the OP and let the mods know whats down.

I did it for you this time.
Thank you.. I am new to this site and do not know how any of this works.. Sorry for the trouble. Is there like an FAQ section where I can understand more?

Finally, after literal years of fans coping with long delays and no releases we can once and for all confirm this game is abandoned and forever dead :LUL:

Was sad reading the last page about the potential route this game might go down.. Changing the art style to models over blurred backgrounds is such a extreme compromise that I personally think its best letting the game stay dead.
