The thing is that in the two top pictures the eyes have a different setting (direction), the shadows also don't match and the background is slightly changed. These are 2 different pictures from the same scene.
You are right, there is a slight difference in the eyelashes. I like both versions, I don't see much difference between them.
The exact differences are literally spelled out in the dev log. Go back and re-read. It's literally on the same page here.
Don't you dare open that Pandora's Box. I did not hear that... Lalalalalalalalala serenity now lalalalalalala <plugs ear & bury head under sand>I actually have noticed in a lot of DAZ renders in different games and art threads how the eyelashes don't seem to respond to eye movement the way they do IRL. It's likely fixable manually while setting up the scene, it's probably just that often the beginner CG artists either don't notice the problem, don't bother fixing it or don't know how to. I guess in gen 8.1 it works automagically now. It does look better in certain positions where the character is looking sideways, up or down.
Bets on whether Ocean will start to re-render all images from the start of the game where the eyelashes don't look realistic because of this previous limitation?
I don't think he will, really. Just kidding.

I think we need a new remake, better eyelashes and small aurelas.I actually have noticed in a lot of DAZ renders in different games and art threads how the eyelashes don't seem to respond to eye movement the way they do IRL.

The truly sad part is, the wait has been so long, I don't even remember those 2 songs at all.
I miss the song that used to play when Nami confronted Bella after Nika got punched. I think it was called State of Dystopia.We lost a lot of music licenses by the time SG S1 was complete, including Waykap - 'Give My All To You' and Humble Hey - 'What My Mama Said' -- which matched two cinematics perfectly.
I remember early S2 dev logs where a frustrated Ocean mentioned that S2 would at least start out with measurably less music due to licensing issues (especially due to the coming bump in adult content).
This comment from the latest dev log is a Very nice change from those early dev logs:
Season 2 is going to be a new personal milestone in production quality… The amount of amazing music I already got… About 25-30 songs already.
Yes - it has been a Long wait for S2, but I'm feeling a new, awesome S2 playlist coming and it will be a welcome addition to my current SG music playlists.
That music was a comfort when I was sitting in airports heading to work or trying to get back home, especially during COVID.
If Ocean's S2 music finds are as good as what he used to help tell the SG S1 story, I anticipate some Great new music.
Cheers!!
True story bro. I feel the same.
You can still have all your favorite songs in the game. Download the song and add it to the music folder. You can even make them trigger at a certain point. Or just manually use the playlist option to have it start playing when you want to.
Would have loved to restore the old Nami/MC bathroom scene instead of having to deal with the abomination that is the new one. Oh well...It's in development. The first chapter of season 2 is projected to release in Q4 of this year.
