When I first started playing the Unity version in the long, long ago, this change in art style was the thing that bothered me the most. Character's in scenes don't look like themselves (bigger boobs and more fleshy bodies), and at first it was really distracting. Now I'm just used to it, I guess? Every now and again it jumps out at me, but I just expect things to be that way (also, being much more involved with the artwork behind the scenes I "understand" a bit better why things are how they are).
The continuity errors on the other hand were (still are) a major annoyance for me. I've tried my best of fix as many as I can find, but I know some are still there (probably glaringly obvious to everyone but me). Also, Morty's original attitude was a huge turn off for me, and I often found myself ignoring his lines and thinking up my own instead (which, funny enough, I still do even in this version, ignoring lines I wrote/changed and subbing in new ones/new actions in my head (I guess it will never be good enough...)).
But I absolutely agree with your conclusion. The art is still good. The story still has it's moments, even with its flaws. The content is enjoyable for me (if imperfect). And I keep finding myself coming back to replay it (even after a day of working non-stop on it sometimes).
I'm very happy the Unity game exists (even if I don't play it anymore). I'm really thankful it's still going (and not abandoned like so many other projects). And I often find myself astounded by how many people have said they enjoy this game (I didn't even know if F95zone would approve it's posting when I original shared, let alone what people would think of it), and I'm immensely glad it has been received (mostly) positively.
There have been a few other R&M game attempts and they were all... not good. I think
Rick And Morty - The Pervetiest Central Finite Curve is the first other R&M game I've seen for a while that I enjoyed, and while that project is also imperfect (hopefully Ormuz89 doesn't split every update into a new game...), to me at least, it does feel like it has some real protentional to be another game I look forward to new release on, and possibly throw some support at as well.
Because I want more R&M (porn), and I'm really hoping with the upcoming season we get more people excited to make porn for it!
