I like colored hair.
You are a man of culture.

Regarding Celeste's tsundere, it is a very specific niche. I'm a giant weeb as well, so I've seen a range of the trope enacted and IMO it really comes down to how authentic the bitchiness is. If you know the person isn't being honest and it's more of a character quirk than a personality trait it's much easier to tolerate. Things coming from Celeste to the MC when they know each other and the MC uses it to tease her are far more acceptable than that attitude coming from a stranger or more distant acquaintance, from whom such an attitude would be offensive and intolerable. The fact that Celeste self-destructs is also important, the cute part of a tsundere isn't the tsun, it's when the tsun breaks. The honesty and/or hilarity in those moments are what distances them from just being bitches. There's a highly amusing novel/manga called Endo and Kabyashi's Live Commentary on the Villainess which has that as a central concept, though it sadly does trail off as the story progresses. A good Soon D'Rey can be a hilarious thing though.

Well I hope it doesn't completely kill the game too much.
Re rendering 2500 something images doesn't sound fun hahaa
No. Of course not. I wasn't implying of redoing all the existing renders, but maybe have a look for future renders?
I was just trying to find out, why I'm personally still preferring the HS renders most of the time?
I really love the DAZ versions of the girls. They are all really beautiful. And nevertheless somehow prefer the HS versions.
Maybe I'm just strange. ;)

Enjoying this remake so far, but dude...the print is so...fucking...tiny. I hope you will jack up the font a bit for the next update. Or maybe make it adjustable?

Is it small? I've had most people complain it takes up too much room with how big it is haha.
I'll see what I can do to make it adjustable

And yes, not every character is for everyone. I know some think Celeste is annoying, or Serra is stupid, or Lillian is a camwhore. I get it. But I'm not writing every character to be absolutely perfect models to be fucked, theyre people. People have stupid flaws. I'm also not a perfect writer, I'm 24, a solo dev, and this is my first major project. Cut me some slack. I'm still perfecting things, its V.02~, it's had 2 updates. I still have plenty of time to fix up stuff that may need to be fixed. (Like the navigation).
If I wanted perfect characters, I'd watch porn. Games such as these are about the journey as much as the sex. Don't let the naysayers get to you.

To those who insist on complaining, if you don't like it, move on. There are plenty of other games here to try. Not all of them are for everyone.

I'm always looking to improve on aspects of the game, especially navigation.
If I can think of a better way to implement it, I'll surely do so. I'm experimenting with different things as we speak.
Like many, I find the navigation clunky. Keep working on it, I'm sure it'll improve. I liked the one from the alpha myself. It didn't take up as much real estate on the screen. Just IMO.

I will say you are in the minority. HS makes it easier to get scenes and animations but but the majority of people like the DAZ/3dcg look better. (Not speaking to this game but overall).

I know I would have skipped by this if it had HS. I am down to one game I keep up with on HS and I honestly have considered dropping it after almost every update.

bip77 Glacerose I think both images, HS and Daz, she seems to be looking straight at me, if I look at her eyes. The difference appears to be in the angle of the images. The HS one has a downward angle from the player's view, the Daz one has an upward angle. This can give the illusion of the Daz one being her looking down. I had the opposite impression, the HS one made me think she was looking up. While the Daz one seemed closer to straight on.

But looking at the character bios, Celeste is almost a foot shorter than the MC, so thinking about that the HS one seems more natural, assuming she isn't standing on a platform in that image. If I hadn't checked her height I wouldn't have thought anything of it.

MC could also be sitting down. I think it comes down to the person playing, their feel of the scene, and the person playing's height. Shorter people are going to be more used to people looking down or dead on when they're being looked in the eye, while taller people are going to be used to being looked up at, and are going to have a natural bias because of it.

If ya'll would, it would mean a lot if you would Wishlist the game on Steam. Really helps get it promoted and out there for players. More support and sales = more time I can dedicate 100% to the game and not living expenses. Thanks!
