Hey Purplehat, is there any chance that we can see the older artstyles as an optional setting?
If not, could we at least access the earlier builds of the game?

Why would you want to?

I don't have the disk space to store every old version of Re Education. (I do have the old art assets, but I am not going to make those an option in game, 1 because it would double the filesize, and 2, because I have spent months converting the graphics and I really want to get back to advancing the story.

HOWEVER WITH THAT SAID:

I do have Re Education 0.2 saved to my computer. It's the first version that I released to a small test audience. It was released May 10th 2021. I do plan to release that publicly once I reach 1.0, or 1.x (Complete game). That way you can compare where things started to the finished product.

No. This is "Working with what I have and no budget" art.

And I mean, no budget. Any money I make is going towards Dr. Valarie.

FOR ALL OF YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT THE GRAPHICS:

My answer is simply to point you to my other visual novel. Dr. Valarie Sex Therapist That is an example of what I can do when I have a budget.


I consider Re Education to be the "Pilot episode". And pilot episodes are often very different from what comes later. Pilot episodes can be cringe, they can have terrible visuals, but yet, even among the awkwardness, you can see the flashes of brilliance. In fact, the title "Re Education" has more than one meaning.

Re Education is educating me on what makes a good visual novel. And I am putting what I have learned into Dr. Valarie.

It's impressive the guy remade the whole game in 3D but I got to be honest he should've also considered changing the red gal's neck.

This hat finds it rather fitting actually.

Rachel was the first character that was designed. And she was the first to be redesigned. That makes her the oldest character. She served to refine the designs for the newer characters.

This actually lines up in game. At 28, Rachel is the oldest main character featured in the game. It's also pointed out that Rachel and Zach do not have natural chemistry.

Linking to an outside changelog is lazy.

I was wondering what you were talking about, so I checked the OP.

I did not link that. Whatever moderator edited my post linked that. Not sure why.

This is what I put in the change log:

0.65

The graphical overhaul has been complete! The fanservice path now has some new endings involving Natalie. Some redundant menus have been removed from the Let Rachel Go path, streamlining that path. The "secret" developer room, accessed through the "Message from the hat" link in the main menu has been redone, and the Dr. Valarie demo has been removed, since Dr. Valarie is now its own game and has plenty of its own juicy content. Total word count is approximately 81,865 words

A moderator changed it and didn't tell me.
