I don't think the ire was directed at you specifically. But if you go back through this thread, it's mostly people just complaining about the art ad nauseum. It gets tiring when it's 10 straight pages of "Why art suck now?" Was the old art better? Objectively yes. But the new art is also good, honestly fantastic compared to several other popular 2D games on this site. People that are fans of the game are just tired that the discussion always seems to be about the art. Because of reasons that don't really concern us the art style had to be changed and rather than just abandoning the project all together Red Lolly is remaking it.
People that are fans of the original story are just wanting the remake to be done with and the story to be progressing again, and we're waiting on art and having to listen to complaints about the art.
