Hey everyone:
I'm *very* aware of lingering concerns about the art style we're pursuing in the new game, so I've whipped up a little demo to show just how easy it will be to use your preferred art in the game.
I hope this also provides evidence of one of the central tenets of this project: we are baking explicit support for mods into the foundation of the game. You don't like a scene, a piece of art, an item in the UI, whatever? Changing it to your liking will be as easy as dropping a folder into the game.
You must be registered to see the links
Go ahead and download the appropriate version of the game from /Current Build/, then download the mod folder in /Mods/. Unzip the mod and copy the /games/ folder into the /games/ folder of the base game.
Load up the game, and you will find familiar versions of Laura and Rogue wandering around (might take some exploration and/or waiting - they're just on a random schedule for now. if you're having trouble finding them, go to one of their rooms and just keep pressing Wait).
I hope this is a source of reassurance
.
If I could ask y'all for a favor - I don't intend to spend much time policing rumors here or elsewhere. If you see someone complaining about new art being forced on them (in a free game that in no way blocks access to the original... lol), it would be super helpful to me for you to politely point them to this post.
