It has nothing to do with DC not being happy about his work, and it has nothing to do with money either. Read this and give it a rest already.I've been working with Adobe since Photoshop 5 or 5.5, I forget which exactly.
It's not any different. You can sit there tweaking any of them til the cows come home. Look at anything Da Vinci finished, there's tons of layers underneath it showing how he kept changing things. The guy finished like 14 things his entire career. All of them are only truly done when the artist stops working on them and artist can never be done. Never heard about this, but has DC ever set a hard deadline?
And I have no problem with going back and remastering, after a product is done. This not finishing and going back and changing the artwork, is only slowing down that finishing part. That's my issue with him doing this. He can do that til forever and it is done solely for his financial gain. It doesn't help deliver what he's supposed to those who are giving him money for a final product.
Was anyone begging for redesigns?
Just chiming in for a quick note : the characters are being redrawn, yes, it takes time yes, but there's some very specific reasons as to why we're doing that.
First, art quality. We want to keep the game's overall graphics standards as high as possible.
Second, game size. Don't forget that we're building a game that can be installed on mobile devices. As it stands, the game is about 800 MB heavy. Not too much by PC standards, but huge for a mobile game. And a large part of the community is playing on mobile devices.
Third, future update speed. Redrawing and remaking character poses not only reduces the overall file size, but also increases flexibility. DC no longer has to make full body poses, just arms or facial expressions. That way, future updates won't require some poses, if they can be made with existing art. The downside is that it's an investment of time. Takes longer now for future benefits.
