Oh, are you offering to redraw all the artwork for my game? Because I just did that not too long ago and I can tell you it takes awhile.

It's a cost saving measure, from what I understand. All the old art had to be commissioned, which meant the writer had to rely on Patreon funding, along with appeasing their patrons' weird fetishes. This is still the case with their other game.
That's just the way I'm seeing things, and I may be completely wrong about it. The author may have also wanted to create their own art for other reasons.

Koikatsu is awful. You have far less control and the models and lighting are terrible.
But I have an answer for you!

i agree koikatsu is pretty bad but better than this currently is, also Im not too fond of that artstyle for your other game so. For my 2 bits that isnt "better" frankly Id suggest honey select 2 and a shitton of the popular mods as the compromise but my point was that there is stuff easily obtained thats better than this, that would probably work out cheaper than relying on art commissions. It wont be SUPERZOMGFABOO but it wont look like this either

Well, clearly there's only one thing for you to do:
Download a copy of Ren'py, and whatever flavor of graphical tools you think are best for the job, and spend the next 3 years making your own VN and showing me how it's done.
Koikatsu is utter shit. Pretty much anything other than Daz and HS 99.99999% of the time is terrible. As is any cartoon graphics.

or you could be less butthurt defensive and realize Im trying to offer you actual constructive options for your project
Kind of like comparing getting punched or kicked in the balls.
The creator out here fighting for their life on art they made for a porn game they've been working on for like 4 years every update is always a highlight. The art is fine and at least it isnt AI slop. The writing is very good and the new game is good. I recommend grass touching for everyone involved. See you all for the same discussion next update!

Actually neither apply. Really it's just annoyance at this point.
You are coming in and telling me something I am already well aware of, and explaining it as if it's the first time I've heard this. At this point it's just annoying. You're also offering nothing constructive whatsoever, because your "solutions" are utterly unrealistic.
By the way I have people who are actually supporting me on itch.io and SubscribeStar, as in they have actually given me money for my content when they did not have to. That says a lot more to me than your criticisms do.

well youd have to offer a product Id want for my cash, as you dont have one.... as for utterly unrealistic... well sure ok whatever makes you feel better.... considering 2 of these options dont require you render things or have modelling skills... yeah totally unrealistic but
whatever... its obvious this coversation will go no where
good luck on yer projects and I hope you magic up some decent art so youll reach actual success with these interesting premises

This is going to be my last post about the graphics, because frankly I am sick of people bitching as if my free visual novel somehow ripped them off. Anybody else who comes in to bitch about the art style will either be referred to this post or just ignored.
It's easy to be the AVGN, until you try making a game. (James Rolfe even acknowledged this)
When you make a visual novel, when you commit to seeing it through to completion, you pick an art style, and then you are married to that art style for the duration of the visual novel.
And divorcing from that art style is an ugly process.
I should know. I literally already did that once. It took far longer than I anticipated, and doing it again would take even longer now.
There is no solution you can offer for improving Re Education's art at this point, because it will mean going back in and replacing all the art assets. Even if your solution is a magical A.I. that can look at all my art and generate beautiful 4K replacement art at the push of a button... I'm still the one who would have to put all that art into the game, then playtest all the paths to make sure everything displayed correctly.
When I started making Re Education, I knew next to nothing about 3D modelling. However, Re Education has. literally, been Re Educating me about making 3D art.
To summarize: Take it or leave it, because I am sick of hearing about it.
