Forget what I asked before, I found the answer above... In short: Changed art for financial reasons...What is so hard to understand? The dev didn't want to change the art style. It was forced onto her. We all liked the old art (including the dev), but it's gone. The old art is no more, it has ceased to be, it's bereft of life, it rests in peace, it is an ex-art. Get over it!
And instead of giving up the game alltogether the dev found a new artist and started all over. Yourself noted the considerable difference in style, so it wouldn't have made a lot of sense to mix the art styles together. There was NO OTHER WAY than to restart the project.
Stop whining, get a grip, and start to enjoy the game you get for free!
Just download it and see when you have time. It's a downgrade.Why is everybody bitching? Can someone show me the old art vs the new art?
I guess devs might need to deal with it as a PR event and explain it on the front page where people download. This is a significant change, after all. Naturally, people would get surprised.It's been explained thoroughly throughout this thread. The previous artist would require royalties to continue to use his work as long as the game was developed -- so Red Lolly would have to pay two artists, one not even involved in the project anymore.
EDIT: Not singling you out, just yours was the latest post I was replying to, but this now being on the "Latest Updates" page is clearly bringing in a lot of easily-confused and/or belligerently-ignorant members.
Maybe if a FAQ was created, but the people who need it most won't bother.
The game ends after the first night for me just as well. I get a "this is it for now".Do you know why the game ends after first night? Am I missing something?
Certainly not a downgrade it's just a different style. The old art was extremely clean and realistic, while the new art goes more down the cartoon path, and I think both styles are great.Just download it and see when you have time. It's a downgrade.
I can get over it, as long as the story holds it together... Only time will tell if the writing can do that.
Devs have frequently tried to interact with this website in the past, then realised it simply isn't worth it. There's far too much bile and obvious trolling flung around.Oh, you guys are on drugs or something. Lay off the cocaine for a bit, guys.
The new artstyle is absolutely top-tier.
Both of the styles are indeed top-tier, albeit a very different stylistic approach.
Honestly I prefer the new style. I'm a bit sad that Alice's boobies seem to have taken a hit, though. They look smaller.
All in all, though? I wouldn't call the change a downgrade at all. Maybe not an upgrade, either. Definitely a sidegrade, though. The quality is absolutely there.
Same start page with same graphic art, available old savings clicking "spank here".Of course they don't work, it's a rework and only has the first chapter.
Talk about dumbass comments.
Previous artist was not comfortable with drawing explicit nudity so that's why he retired. Now dev found another one and redrawing all images.Why is this game being remade? Everyone looks weird now.
