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.

Yeah, that art style ain't it.

So, picture this...
You meet a woman, and, ya know, she's kind of awkward:
I mean she's just starting out, and clearly she hasn't gotten things fully together yet. There's flashes of potential there, but right now? Well, she gets comments like:
But also she remembers the ones who saw past her awkward start:
So, she starts level grinding, and putting points into the graphics stats. She begins to learn, and grow, and eventually, she levels up:
Annnd then she gets comments like:
But Gosh! She just walked in today and...
Whoa... Uh... She leveled up again... She, uh, definitely leveled up...
And the thing with women is if you've been with one, or happen to be one, you know they remember.
They remember what you said about them.
They remember the ones who stuck by them.
They remember the ones who put them down.
They remember the useful criticism they got, and they remember the insults disguised as criticism.
And she doesn't say anything to you. That side eye she's giving you is enough to let you know, she remembers.

All that work and she's still not good enough?! Maybe she should just quit. It would be so easy to just give up and abandon all that work...
But Gosh! She just walked in today and...

Mmmm? I dunno about that. Buuut maybe a pink chastity cage, with a stimulator built into the tip, in the shape of a heart...
Gosh... Zach is gonna be in for some fun times...
Honestly. I'm fine with the 3d models but I think they could use a bit of polishing. The anatomical structure of the character beside Rachel is just weird kekw

Gosh Rachel, you know, Zach just released you from that chair. You got soooo lucky that he's not using that helmet on you!
And, you know, you did agree to have a session with him as part of his releasing you.
So how about you crawl your sexy ass over to his bed?

This is meant as constructive criticism, so hopefully you take it this way. I really think you are doing yourself a disservice here with the way you interact with your audience, coupled with some post in the past.
You have earlier made passive aggressive comments about how people have criticized the art style, was it merited, probably, but it still painted you in a bad light. This time it is the same. You come of as resentful and somewhat antagonistic. Sure it hurts that people have criticized your work, but do you truly believe this would make people go change their reviews? People on here knows it is a work in progress, so have faith in them looking at the most recent reviews and hopefully they will positively on the improvements. Focus on improving and let the work speak for itself and the rest will come.
I am usually not one to be phased by how others act, but your comments still rubbed me the wrong way and if they did, it would probably mean others would also take it that way. In the end you do what you think best, but be careful not to alienate your audience.

I agree with Bronzescorpion. If you Purplehat Productions believe in your work, then let your work speak for itself.
I would also like to say that the screenshots in the first post now are a big improvement to how it started, but they still have your signature style to it. The style of eyes in particular has grown on me, I kind of like them now, but you have also improved a lot too.
Please keep up the good work, and make something you believe in. At the very least it will be something unique, and that alone should make it all worth it.

You make some good points, but here's my side of it:
I am allowing my game to be pirated here. I did not originally post this thread. When I learned my game was being pirated, I thought about it for awhile, and decided, "Okay, I'll roll with it". Not only am I allowing it, I am supporting it by keeping this thread updated.
However when I see a poorly written review (As in they played 5 minutes, and judged my work based on that) , from somebody who pirated my game, that pisses me off. You're damn right I come off as resentful and somewhat antagonistic here. I'm offering something for free, and some people (not all, but some) feel the need to bitch as if they had paid money to play my game?! You're damn right I'm going to be resentful!
So, I've been angry at some of the reviews for quite some time. BUT on the flip side, that anger has helped drive me to push the limits of what I can do. A sort of "I'll show 'em!" mentality. It's driven me to learn more about coding. It's driven me to make animations. It's driven me to refine my style.
Now all that said, I will take your point into consideration. I think I've proved by now that I have what it takes, and that I can be the bigger hat.
Good point. I do believe in what I'm doing. If I did not, I would have stopped years ago. Like I said above, I have been angry at some of the reviews. But you're right. Re Education can speak for itself now.

I applaud you.
I have a problem with the review system myself, and the ignorant members who write brain-dead reviews. F95 says they are reviewing the review system to see where it can be improved... zzzz....zzzzz....zzzzz
Thankfully, their report system isn't too bad.
Shhhhh!! No one is supposed to know about this, but.
Even though the game isn't my preference (I'm mostly middle of the road), I appreciate the work you put into your games and respect your creativity.
A suggestion:
Adding amenities like Textbox Opacity, etc, can help a bit.
You know, I have gotten a lot of useful feedback here. It's just a small percentage of people here have really stuck me in the craw. My reviewers comment was really only aimed at a small handful of people.
Many posters in this thread, especially Master Of Puppets, have been a huge, huge help and are a large factor in why I've stuck around. I never expected the level of support they've shown. And there have been multiple people, like RosenKing, who IIRC started this thread, that believed in me early on... when the graphics looked terrible, and that's also driven me to push onwards.
As for your suggestion, that's the first time I've had someone bring up the text. It's basiclaly the Ren'Py default and I figure addressing the GUI is a thing to do closer to 1.0.
There's something wonky with the graphics i think. I went down the true hypnotized path and for some reason the facial expression wasn't on top of the actual model of the characters.

Wow... You somehow missed the note from the hat at the end of the prologue chapter.
Did you load an old save?
You skipped over reading
Note from the hat: The new content for this path stops here. You can keep playing, but the graphics will be broken, and you'll be seeing an earlier version of the story.)
(The hat recommends that you restart and choose another option, if you haven't done so already, so you can see all the new content.)
This is happening because of the change from 720p to 1080p, and because I used specific X/Y coordinates to place the faces since most characters were background elements.
Since all of it is being scrapped I didn't bother up-scaling the art.
(Oh and I made her eyes derpy as a hidden easter egg. Everytime I saw that I laughed, and fixed whatever error caused it.)

I like your story A LOT. You have an interesting group of characters and I look forward to learning more about how events in their past shaped their behavior today and how they will grow together from here. You show a lot of compassion toward these people and this allows me to feel a stronger connection to them.
