Ren'Py Abandoned Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[Akamari]

Could Notty be... !?
Your Highness *bows*

She has some of the attributes.
Gets her groceries from Waitrose
Likes Jaffa Cakes
Served in the forces
Widely liked if not loved by her followers

I think you might be on to something!

And there is decent amount of Princesses in Heavy Five.

It doesn't explain why Notty doesn't have a royal hamster though.

How do we know it's not really a royal corgi? That's why the remaster is taking so long... corgis have little legs!

Well I would say Bear the space hamster would beat any royal hamster, also since he is Notty's hamster that would make him the royal(ly fucked) render hamster by definition.

It all makes sense!!

Hmm... that might be the problem. Traditional royal hamsters might be too obsolete for today's rendering.

Sarah doesn't look pale anymore plus the ramp seems to be touching the ground.

 

[Akamari]

I think I might have identified what was throwing me off about the new Sarah render. What do you guys think?

New Sarah

My little crude edit of it

It's crazy, but this is all it takes for me to identify this young ensign as Sarah.

 

[Akamari]

Allow me to illustrate my point further. This is my fav remastered render of classic Sarah.

Now, look closely at her lips. One thing they always did well was light reflection. If you zoom in to pixels, you'll see it's different shades of pink. Now, with the new Sarah there is a very bright white spot. Unappealing IMO. It throws me off, because that never happened with the OG Sarah.

I would go as far as saying that if this is the only issue with the remaster, then it's a success. I, for one, don't mind the white spot on Sarah's lips (no sexy innuendo intended).

Oh ok now that you explain it I see it. It is distracting, for sure.

So you're saying it's better?

 

[Huitieme]

So you're saying it's better?

I don't really care actually. Lips could stay bright as they are in Notty's render, or they could be a little less shiny like in your version. I like both equally.

 

[NeimadFR]

For all we know she could be wearing gloss in one picture and not in the other

The new Sarah looks a little more mature and serious... Must be the new makeup and the change in hair colour.
She's absolutely yummy, to be honest.
And it's a very good thing you kept her eyes... They're mesmerizing.
I'm in love!
Can't wait to see her in a dress... A white one, preferably.

One clarification. I don't consider new Sarah to be a failure. It's great really. But this is the one misplaced piece of the puzzle that prevented me from going all excited like you guys. Literally one white spot which stopped me from congratulating Notty on achieving something I was very skeptical about. (Which she still did, just one little thing away from perfection).

I can understand it's insignificant to you, but for me it's a jarring difference because I had been used to something for 9 months and now it's completely different and she didn't click as Sarah because of that. I think this is something that should be tweaked to be faithful to the original. It's not an improvement. (Btw. the lips themselves do look better than the original, Notty really did phenomenal job remastering Sarah.)

I was under the impression that was just because of a reflection of the lighting applied in that picture, so i see no problem there.

Nope her lips never reflected light like that, no matter the light.

Thanks

But it's the same hair. Just the lighting in the hanger has changed having switched from three point to all natural. Plus "old sarah" was an overlay. I didn't have the memory to have Sarah, Vanguard and the hanger. If memory serves it was three separate renders.

The white spot is a reflection from the hanger lights.

She had no natural lighting before.

Yep. Exactly that.

Welp, mystery solved I guess. I'll let the Scooby Gang know we don't need them anymore.
