If by common practice in development you refer to "feature toggling", then you might misunderstood its purpose. You make features via toggles, but eventually (after feature is tested and stable) you remove switches, so code won't become too complex, smelly and unsupportable (even in big projects with big teams).

But if your plan is to keep toggle forever as a part of the game arcitecture, it will cost a lot of time, not only during development of this change, but also after, if they decided to add new stuff (it would impact DLCs, bugfixes, mods, etc). I wouldn't choose this approach to support slightly different art style for the whole game. Way too much work for small returns
This isn't about a feature that's being beta tested, though. I don't really understand the comparison here for what amounts to a singular character's art overlays. We saw with mods (before they all broke), that you could totally replace Karryn's outfits and swap between them in-game. It really isn't a crazy suggestion for people to have for her to keep the old face if not the old art entirely.

Heck, there are games like Kaiju Princess that not only have animated scenes, but let you mix and match parts of her outfit in scenes. It's really not a reach for people to want something similar.

Game development is very hard, but let's not treat people as if they're being unreasonable asking for something that is pretty normal. If the devs don't want to do it, that's perfectly fine. People should still be able to ask for it, though.

Each enemy type has specific things they can start. Prisoners cannot start vaginal sex. They only go for handjobs and rarely blowjobs. Thugs or lizards for example are enemy types that can start vaginal sex

Hey all, i got curious. What was the difference in art that is being mentioned? Does anyone have a comparison image?
I might just buy this on steam but the sale ended the day i went there to buy :(

Game is pretty good, worth to spend money on (maybe not full price, though...). Mods made it better but i just wish we could have a will power to lower pleasure too. Like "Concentration" or something. Getting tired and high pleasure makes you completely unable to fight, as when guards get in the room (i'm still with imperial guards though). I have unarmed combat edicts but can't do any damage when fatigued, so it's a free loss.

I'm not arguing that it's impossible to do. I'm trying to explain consequences of doing it. Ask yourself, why mods are broken after this or any change? Or imagine if all mods became part of the game, when will next DLC will be released? How many times longer it would take to change all costumes?

If you answered these questions and still call decision of the only dev in the team rediculous... well, I would be disappointed then.

Reread your initial post, and if you meant to make toggle only for the face and not for all changes in art style that happened, then I assumed wrongly. While it's still would take some extra time, it would be manageable. Especially, with smarter approach during the process (by reusing expressions).
Hopefully, one day we'll see mod that does that

Thank you very much. There are some differences, and i may be biased for only using the new one, but it looks really much better.

This game seens to be one of those unique games that no other scratch the same itch. It's not even about the porn stuff, even if it is really well done, but about the gameplay. It is fun to have a management system like it, with different ways to tackle on the situation instead of just straight win or lose to see XXX scene. Or worse, forced XXX scenes even when you win that doesn't make sense.

I am a huge fan of Corruption of Champions for the gameplay routine. The risk you take with every action, etc. This one follows on a similar principle.

I meant either would work, preferably whichever was easier for them to implement. Again, I think it's probably a hassle for them now so I get the hesitancy for Rem to do it. That's why I think it would be a good idea if they handle this from the start in their next game. It's always a good idea to future proof your work as best as you can.

Or imagine if all mods became part of the game, when will next DLC will be released? How many times longer it would take to change all costumes?
A game's release schedule has very rarely been affected by what the modding community is working on. The only exception I can think of is when a company explicitly pulls mods to put them in an official release, since the modders are doing a better job. This also fosters community involvement, which is good for a game's lifespan.

Tbh, I don't think modders would care as much about the art shift if the mods would stop breaking. I'm like 95% sure modders could find a work around for the art changes, but there's no point trying to figure that out at the moment with all of the issues.

These questions purpose were to highlight how adding new stuff increase complexity and time. I didn't suggest including mods in the game.
To simplify, if we add X costumes it would require X times more work to add new boobs size. Reason is that a costume (at least in current implementation of layers) depends on boobs, so any change to boobs requires change in all costumes.
To continue this thought, if we add whole art style, which depends on everything, from that moment everything would require twice more work.
