So hes launching the whole game again but im small parts...bro...:HideThePain:
How can people defend this?
Seriously.
I mean I guess it's better than just not releasing anything... At this pace it seems like it would take another 2 years for the tech update to be finished. They don't really have many options.

Having read that patreon post, it'll be interesting to see as to how far they actually managed to replace/rework Debbie's art. DC did quite a few of her sprites on stream and to me that suggests that her old art should be gone for good (apart from her scenes, maybe?).

A few months ago I'd have said they'll implement some of the old stuff (Debbie, Mia, Erik, the teachers, etc.) again, until they actually release their reworks, but now I'm really not so sure anymore.

Yes , with this new release idea, putting any old stuff would be actually stupid waste of time, its all new now

With DC talking about a new, "general direction", I think this update really has become a total overhaul. I mean, they would have to touch up the old art/scenes anyway to fit the new aspect ratio; while they're at it, why not just redo it so it's consistent with everything else?

DC really wants to avoid the abandoned tag, which goes to show that he understands business and sociology. (also of note is that his account was on the site today)

once one location declares something, others follow, and suddenly it's everywhere, just take a look at any movement in last 15 years particularly (the internet is a wonder for spreading anything), snowball effect in action, and the bottom line? it will hurt DC's bottom line.

not a surprise that suddenly DC is "about" to release an update. he probably knows the danger of SS being declared abandoned.

As far as I recall, DC suggested in the beginning, that these very old animations/scenes scenes would stay in 4:3, as they didn't want to invest time into content which ultimately would have been changed again, anyway.
By now I'd agree that all of the sprites should be new - everything else would be strange. Next to that one would hope that DC did use some of his time in these last 18 months to actually rework old scenes and stuff.
