Guys, with Halloween in mind, who here has figured out where, when, and by whom Vi was decapitated in Chapter 4?
Not a joke, somewhere Vi's head is clearly living it's own life...
It seems like fapping erodes one’s sense of observation!
First,
a warning : there’s a spoiler coming up for one of the last images in Chapter 4, so if you haven’t reached that point yet, stop reading here please!
Here are the facts: in the room, after way too much drinking, Eric. Yes, Eric is indeed guilty of literally snapping poor Vi’s neck…
Our forensic expert put together an edit to help us get a clearer view of the situation; top: original image, bottom: what we could expect in front of such scene :
Things are clear enough, and it’s not pretty to look at…
Joking aside, this scene and several other points make it obvious that Chapter 4 was rushed, at least in terms of the CGs! And my point here is simple: if we keep whining with impatience, again and again, this is the kind of result we get!
After the initial “wow” wears off, this image is simply grotesque and far from the quality we enjoyed in Chapters 1, 2, and 3. For the chapter’s climax, it’s really a shame...
And it’s not the only weak point in this release; one of the final animations was also rushed. Then there are the small details. Since I’m working on a quality translation, I also have to translate text on images, which means a lot of work in Photoshop. Across the first three chapters, I’d already edited 54 images—some for text, others for minor improvements. Chapter 4 is no exception; I’ve already done about twenty edits, sometimes for little things…
Anyway, my point here isn’t to complain about the work itself (though there’s plenty to say!) but rather to call out the attitude of some who just want to ‘consume’ more and more and as quickly as possible.
The devs need to be able to work in peace, and yes, they read what’s posted here, so yes, even if they say otherwise, our feedback has an impact!
So for heaven’s sake, let’s hold off on the complaints for the future! If the quality is starting to suffer at this point, where does that leave us? Do we really want to ruin a project that had such a great start?
