Could anyone post a screenshot of any of the updated models?
I'm not going to post them all, but here's Rachael before and after. It's hard to see the complete difference because the hair moves now also, which is a really nice effect.
Those of you saying the new models are worse... uhhh.. I dunno what to say. Like I said, I think those people prefer the goofy, cartoony look of the first image.
Also, they just put out a new beta, and here's the text, so there are still several models that are unfinished:
"Here's House Party 0.12.1. We mostly focused on story stuff this past week, so there is still a lot of optimization that will be happening over the next couple of weeks. There are still several new character models that are not finalized yet, and we are still working out a lot of kinks with the hair movement, and we will be redesigning the shader for the hair as well to create a more realistic effect. We also have a lot of optimization that is yet to be done to the new features, so expect lower than usual frame-rates.
This version is fully voice-acted though, and we've handled a lot of story bugs, as well as regression issues with the new content. We'll be polishing things up for possibly one more Beta, and then the stable release. Enjoy"
