So the Remake has the Ai Art and the Original Season 1 and 2 not. Alright, my "Hard to Love" Folder on my Hard drive goes to the "abandoned" Folder since I don't play any Games with Ai Art.

i don't like character faces in remake. In previous non AI renders, faces looked many times more attractive, natural, alive. This AI filter makes faces too much fake and empty, lifeless, i would say even monstrous in some way.

the overall quality in remake is better. Lighting, bodies, skin look better in many cases (still, in some renders worse). The faces are a biggest problem, they look bad in most cases, they also differ from render to render, even with the same composition and lighting, this completely kills the sense of integrity of the character.

it will be a good game if the author can fix the faces back to their original (non AI) shape while maintaining the overall improved quality of the renders

Don't suggest that after finishing the remake of all the content that was already done, he'll start over by making a demake.

Wasn't the idea of this remake to improve the writing and the script? I'm finding the text, especially in this update, to be on the same level as the original.

It's better to just play the Remake. There's no point in playing the original, which will be included in the Remake. If you play the original, you'll end up getting 'SPOILERS' for the Remake. If you only play the Remake, you'll enjoy it much more. It's better not to even see how the original was.

OMG. Dev still trying to recover after that AI/Remake Epic Fail...
But this game already dead, especially after Dev start to damage control and blame people (people who actually donate) for not liking new Dev "vision"...
Literally, text example how to ruin everything by dumb decision and make it even worse by not acknowledge that decision was wrong.

don’t know about the history behind the development, I didn’t follow it. But I think that there is no big problem. The dev can simply write off this AI update as a failed attempt and move on, sticking to the original form, with improved visuals. But if the dev himself thinks that the faces in the new update look good, well, alas. I don’t judge, it’s a matter of personal taste. But for me personally this means the complete death of the potentially good game, which started out very well. I initially really liked Amber's appearance, it was disappointing to discover how ruined her face became after the AI.

Hey dev, I found this part in the conversation with Amber. Was it meant to get corruption or trust points with ELIZABETH instead of AMBER? During this convo, this is the only time her name appears in the code, suppsoedly,so I was wondering if you made a mistake here and meant to write "amber" screenshot0005.png

We were never there; we were ready for episode 6...episode 5 is the "last episode" that was released before they started the remake.

They also said they are already done up until episode 6 and would release episodes weekly and test during those periods.
Well, not really bud. We already had Episode 6. This whole shitshow is even getting folks that are seriously invested like you and me confused at times. Here's the skinny:

Before this shenanigan v0.1/v0.21 remake of the remake of the...original, this is the past historical versions Seasons/Episodes in reverse chronological order of release:
  • S2 v0.062 was Episode 6 Part 2
  • S2 v0.061 was Episode 6 Part 1
  • S2 v0.05 was Episode 5
  • S1 v0.041 and prior (v0.03, v0.02, etc) was Episodes 1-4

is this really a remake? menu was very rare and nice, now its just above standart. graphics and models just get a different look, or on some taste, worse.

Only what's left of the game its the great music and ambience, but its obvious dev wouldnt change.

idk... "old" version was a waaaay better:oops:
