Because the original artist, Javier, bailed on the project leaving Red in the lurch stating that he felt "uncomfortable" creating sexually explicit scenes... for a porn-focused game! I'm sure there were other issues behind the scenes such as prohibitive royalties to keep his art in the game while not working on the project. (Though Red states that they ultimately parted ways amicably.) And last I checked, it's hilarious that Javier continues to claim he is a co-creator for this active project on his professional resume which, intentional or not, misleads others into thinking he still has an active role in its artistic development.

So hat's off to Red for not abandoning the project and persevering despite that and making the story even better than it was before. As I recall, Red had to do a lot of work to keep Lust Campus afloat during the interim time. Also, a round of applause to the current artist whose art style is really good! It couldn't have been easy for Red to find and negotiate with them so that they would come onboard to her project. Frankly, I don't believe many would be complaining on the art front if people got into this game and only saw the current art pieces. The characters and backgrounds are detailed and wonderful to look at and are really good especially compared to other hentai games! People keep bemoaning the change but I think it's a really good change in direction since the new artist doesn't appear to have any qualms about creating sexually explicit scenes in the future. This allows Red to do more and she doesn't have to be restricted like she was before the change in artists. (Red has stated that Javier was holding her back on some scenes in the past.)

So take the change of artists as a positive note. (y) And enjoy the game! :cool:

Really can't give you enough props for that, it's fortunate this game still continues to be developed, as annoying as the delay is.

Edit: The thing I find far more off-putting than the rework or the change in artstyle is the disconnect between the actions of the protagonist and the decisions available to the player. If I do not wish to interact with an NPC why the fuck does the protagonist share a bowl with them? Why do they fawn over a professor that I decided to dislike? If you give those choices freaking adhere to them.

Wish the dev and the original artist actually.... Well... Communicated fully before they agreed to work on this project. There was a break down in communication somewhere. Either the dev didn't properly state what type of game/story this is at the beginning... Or the artist is a jerk who agreed to work on this project and then decided to quit knowing full well this is an adult visual novel.

I wonder if they were on the same page and then patreons made it known that they wanted the art to be explicit. This would explain why the artist became uncomfortable working on an adult game.

Is it worth it to DL the final version when you played the beta?

And on topic of the artstyle: I still think the old style was better, but I am fine with this one. Without the first version I would not complain about it, because is is really nice.

Old art maybe more "beautiful", but the new characters are more distinguishable.
Problem remains, not much new contents. They even cut the lesbian shower scene?

Seems like they are forcing you to slob on some knob. "Oh, you no like him? well, enjoy being forced onto him!" this game shows the illusion of choices.

I played this before the remake or whatever and I was able to avoid every guy (I went the Lesbian route) I stopped once they forced me to play as the nerd/geek that is in your class. So, hearing you can't avoid the professor is... really weird.

Same, I find the current lack of actual choices more concerning than the change of artstyle, which was a necessity, no matter how I feel about the old vs. the new style. The impression that this, too, becomes one of those games that, at best, gives me the feeling of constantly fighting the game to not have the protagonist go down on some guy, seems like a bigger issue. I don't know what the problem is with actually changing the protagonist's behavior according to the choices presented. It's not as if it would take anything away from people who are into the male characters and who wouldn't pick those choices anyway therefore. But what this does is kinda tarnish any lesbian route from the get go because it feels as if I have to force the game to let me pick those, which kinda raises the question why even bother at that point.

The worst part, in my eyes, is that the game used to do far better at this, as you said, and there is really no reason why suddenly choices don't matter anymore, just because the art had to be redone.

Edit: It's not as if the protagonist is forced to have sex with the professor (yet), it's that she thirsts about him (basically) even if that goes against the player's choice there. Also I do still feel as if the player will have the option to avoid guys, but it becomes kinda pointless if the MC is leering at male npcs even if the "don't like" option was chosen.

What's wrong with the one linked in the OP? According to Gofile the file date is 2023-07-20 -- the very same date the PC version was updated/uploaded as well, so I'd assume it's the current version...?!

Hi guys, a couple of questions about the game: is it possible to be only a lesbian and is there piercings and tattoos in the game?
