Sadly, I lean to the same conclusion. There is hardly a way they didn't have enough money and there is hardly a way they didn't have another option but using AI as is.
I genuinely really want this game to succeed, but exactly, Occam's Razor friend. The conclusion that requires the fewest assumptions is usually the winner, and all signs point to "I couldn't be assed to spending more money, so we put it through the meat grinder for cheap. Have you 'Gold Edition' ya losers. Sub on Patreon as I iron out these bugs over the next year or two."

Me too. I mean it mostly sucks and worse than old arts so why dev just didn't upscale old arts to new resolution is beyond me - after all AI actually pretty good at that. However, ridiculous amount of bugs and absolutely unnecessary changes is combat mechanics are much more infuriating if you ask me.
Ok just an idea what if the good artist was updating all the art but the date caught up to them, so the AI is just a stop gap till all art is done. Just a thought.
Completely lost the translucent characteristic of the goo. Might as well be rubber.
A possibility, definitely a possibility. I had this thought, but there is a "but" - they've replaced tons of art with very few if any overwork by an artist. Heck - I could imagine things and what I perceive as overwork may as well be just a lucky generation.
Yeah, good point, I've overlooked it.
Although I have no recollection of this detail exicting in previous versions.
Go bottom right from the map with huntress' cabin where you took the quest. On the next map enter the crypt. In the crypt go through single winding corridor towards single room at the end. There, in a chest, is the bow you seek.
