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.
And enjoy the game!
