Oh, and since I forgot to talk about the assets, it's not like SR7 has to redraw everything. When I did it I used a tool that pulled all of the assets out of SU. Those assets consist of a ton of images that are like layers and you have to stack them all and align them correctly in the correct order and pixel alignment to get everything to line up. There are usually like 3-12 images per picture you look at, plus different costume variants, more if there is even that minor animation. It's just tedious. Or at least the way I did it was, though I did make it harder on myself because I wanted to mix and match the options I had even more. So to do what was existing wouldn't be too horrible? I swear I spent hours just getting the dolls that pop up for the dialogue all aligned correctly... I also added like 4 other expressions for fun.
It sounds like they're using the re-exported images from the android version at first and slowly re-exporting them at higher resolution from the psd's going forward over time. If that's the case, then Henshin is doing it differently than I did, maybe it's easier... (but my version did the pan up and down thing without a hitch... so hah! (Henshin's a cool dude, I'm just being snarky))
I definitely made it harder than it had to be because part of me even trying it was I wanted it to do other things that weren't included in the game... which is a thing that will be easy to mod if and when this thing comes out in ren'py... dear crap I can't wait for a ren'py version of this just to fuck with in my own time...
Everyone dumps on the art for doing head swaps and shit, but it's secretly going to be so fucking handy for moders that have very little art skills that want to add onto the game themselves. I pretty easily just stole mouths from other characters to do different expressions, added more to whatever sex scene I was working on. Once you do the work to get it all there, which is time consuming, it can be easy to extend.
