Definetely, a lot of people say this is the best adult VN they've ever played and I count myself upon them. Some people were on the fence about the art style at first but in the reviews everyone seems to agree that the artstyle grew on them. I liked it from the get go though, I think the drawn characters are way more sexy than 3D models. Unless they are very well rendered I always felt I was watching plastic dolls going at it...
And the upgraded style shown on that picture is a great improvement, I think it's better than the old one in every aspect. I guess the flat colors gave GGGB a unique style but this is like adding salt and pepper to your steak, it con only taste better
Dude, all "art" in GGGB is made from photo tracing. Sad. With such a huge budget developer could hire good artists...

Can someone say if evakiss has revealed that the next project has a female protagonist ?

I think it will when she/he says that it will have the same Spirit as GBBB.

Look at the variation that was done in this game. To make a even better game will be a tough Project for Him or Her. And his/her Team. So I really looking forward to the news around the next project.

art style for this is alot different from all other ren'ply vn worth a look???
As long as you can enjoy a female protagonist, this is the best game I know. The branching is huge and well made. There are only a few errors (and they need some exotic choices I guess ^^) but several endings and paths to reach them. I played ~20-30 runs of this game, because there are always new branches to find. At least everybody should try this game to see if its their thing.

That might be true, but I am fine with the art - the branching progression is way more important for me. I think the game could even work as text only (with some added flavor text), just because there is so much to find on the way to the endings.

I loved the game, the only thing i wish was different is the clothing, i dont like that you are forced into a style depending on stats, especially in those mixed playthrough i enjoyed so much. Would be nice to be able to choose your style in the next game.

I've always been fascinated with the complaint that art in GGGB features "tracing". Consider the hundreds of different scenes and poses (yes, there are repeats, but go back and count).

Now, anyone want to try their hand at tracing? Anyone able to consistently produce quality representations like what's in this game?

Tracing is not easy and it should not be used as a pejorative in this game. The game is widely loved and not the least for the artwork...and that is the proper description of the illustrations in this game.

I have always found it odd that adult games using clips from existing porn videos is accepted as ok and yet this "tracing" style is disliked as cheating. And really even if it is traced, its not in a gallery, the purpose is to clearly tell the story. If it doesnt fit personal taste, then fine, but to imply cheating as art?

it's an interesting concept. it limits what you can do though. I don't really mind it either though.

Part of it is that the dev doesn't appear to outright acknowledge that they traced (I've not gone looking to see, but I may be wrong here). Part of it is that tracing without acknowledgement, or tracing and claiming it as your own, has always been a BIG no-no in the art community. Tracing is fine as a learning or cost-cutting measure, but only when you acknowledge it clearly and don't try to claim it as completely your own work. Tracing requires a lot less skill and it's sorta rude to claim it as original. That said, this appears to be stylized as hell, so it is sorta borderline.

The use of clips from existing porn videos/reuse of existing photos and drawings gets a pass because most people see those clips/images and go 'oh, the dev isn't artistically skilled' vs someone tracing existing stuff and claiming it as their own causing people finding out about it to feel lied to regarding the skill level/integrity of the artist.

Speculation and some evidence may show that DaVinci, Rembrandt, and other famous artists of that period used tracing from a type of projection system using mirrors and lenses and simply 'traced' self portraits and other great works of art.

Dude it's a porn game - and wonderfully done, artitistically done even. Eva has created a masterpiece, like it or not. Get over it.
