Unity Taffy Tales [S1 Redux] [UberPie]

[succhiale]

Better ass shape? WTF drugs are you on? HAHAHAHA
Also, I don't see the colors as more vibrant in the first, but more saturated, yes.
Again, both have issues with them - but for me, I would choose the second version and not the first. We're going to have to agree to disagree because the first image looks like something a less-skilled artist would produce, overall, in my opinion.
(yes, I see the balls issue you point to --- but the balls are not the focus for those images and you really have to linger at the balls to realize they are a bit weird)

You're going to have to make do with the WIN version through Wine, at least for the time being... Only Win, Mac, and APK on itch. If you want to know more - you may have to ask in the developer's discord.

There is already a linux version on itch as well

Huh, must have been added in the past couple of hours. Wasn't there when I checked on the Android link four hours ago when someone asked.

My bad.

Thanks.

1-5 IF YOU WANT A DEFINITELY CONFUSING AND SOMETIMES BUGGY, BUTNEARLY 4X THE PLAYTIME, AND WITH LOTS LESS AI

Great question. It all depends upon what you want to do.

Do you want to play a version with a lot of content? Go play v0.89.8 "Seasons 1-4" and then v1.07.3 "Season 5"
If you strictly want a netorare playthrough, play the short completely optional and separate netorare route in v1.07.3 "Season 5"
Do you want to see 4k images and video with some additional content added of the first 20-30% of the game? Play Season 1 Redux.

Actually, I saw that Count Morado mentioned me and my research on the content of the seasons. Well, it's time to write my worthless opinion.
Yes, I parsed the files myself and found the division into seasons. But I didn't expect so little of the old content to be remade. There's plenty of new content (considering they used old scenes from other seasons, playing it up through dreams and obscene visions. Someone already wrote in discord that it's a cheap trick, but it worked on me). But here's an old one... I'll be honest - I was confused by the announcements that Uber was making. + the game files already have some of the content, such as training with Gerda in the gym. And here I have some misunderstandings:
1) either they cut some of the content they originally planned to shove into season 1.
2) or they have already advanced in the work with the second season (but here again I have a discrepancy in my head - in Steam they wrote that it is so - they have advanced, but then why loud phrases like - if sales will not be - we will have to finish with Taffy and do small projects? Why then did they have to run ahead with this project if there is a risk of ending? Or was Uber so confident of approval from Steam? Why not do season 1 quicker and see the reactions than cooking up some blanks for season 2)?
Again, if they've progressed - season 2 should take a lot less time. The character models are ready, the code base is ready, the CG part is ready. The only question is how long Uber will drag all this out, if they continue the project at all.
Now for the game itself. I'll try to keep it brief.
Pros:
1) cool, modern, user-friendly interface. Very cool realized, I liked it.
2) the overall quality of art has improved, it's cool. But there is one unpleasant aspect, namely the problem with faces. I don't know, maybe it's my subjective problem, but it seems to me that some of the faces in this version are even worse than in 0.95.7, where Uber just started using AI and made a lot of mistakes. But about that in the cons.
3) There is enough new content.
4) the narrative is more logical than before.
5) music. They changed the music, in general - I like the new one too. In my opinion, Uber has always had good taste in music.
That's kind of it.
Cons:
1) the biggest minus is the faces. It really stands out and makes it very hard to fully immerse yourself. There are some very cool examples of faces:

As I've written before - this is probably the peak of Uber's AI implementation. It has everything you need - Uber's style and neural network detailing. But look at this:

Wtf? Maybe it's subjective of course, but I can't look and take this art normally, because I saw the first art. And that's the problem - Uber shows that he can do faces at the highest level, and then shows this. Here are Becca's faces, purely for comparison. Clearly I've vilely taken the worst examples, but it's in the game, so why not?

Or look at this comparison here:

I don't know, I have when I look at 1 art the feeling I'm playing a horror game. No, definitely the features plus or minus match, but..... It really takes me out of the immersion. If that's just my problem - okay, no problem. I've noticed a similar problem with almost all characters who have active actions at this point.
2) as Count Morado already wrote - I think Uber is kind of weird about the division into seasons. It is clear that the seasons should not be the same size, but after they wrote that the current 5 seasons will be combined into three and we got 1 season of the redux, which feels shorter than the current 5 (maybe my eyes are clouded because I've already gone through it, but such feelings) - how do they plan to cram everything left into 2 other redux seasons? And if they've been working on it for a year - how long will it take to work on the other seasons? Hopefully we'll get some news soon about what's already finished in season 2 (referring to my reasoning at the beginning).
3) well again, I'll be honest and not be crooked - the yearly expectation for me was not met. Clearly, my expectations are my problems. It's clear that I haven't tried making games myself, so I'm only judging from a fan's perspective. The argument that I take the game for free will not work, because I'm subscribed to Uber and according to some people I'm a cash cow. And I'll be honest, I don't even know what I was waiting for. It's just these feelings - not this, not that.
4) I didn't find AI animations that were shown in Steam.
There seems to be no more minuses, but it's enough - faces, the volume of old content. I'd give it 6-7 points out of 10.

any hero?

You're going to have to make do with the WIN version through Wine, at least for the time being...

I'm actually more into porting games if there's no native support, it's super easy for RenPy and quite hard for Unity.

There is already a linux version on itch as well

But with this info I'd better wait few days in case someone shares Linux links here.

Thanks!

This is what i dont get. We know for atleast a year that dev will remake the game with AI(im neutral about i find the old art uncanny) and yet some of you people choose to stay and gripe about no new content and ai and shit.

I take a unique art style over AI slope any day of the week. In my opinion AI simply doesn't really has the consistency needed to make a game out of it.

some hero for us to bring the android version

In my opinion, the creator should finish his entire game and only then remake the game.

For people who hate the Unity Games don't let you maximize them, try using

You must be registered to see the links

v2. It allows you to.

With this script it turns shift F6 into toggle maximize for any game:

+F6:: {
    static isMaximized := false
    win := WinGetID("A")  ; Get the active window's ID

    if isMaximized {
        WinRestore(win)  ; Restore the window if it's maximized
        isMaximized := false
    } else {
        WinMaximize(win)  ; Maximize the window if it's not maximized
        isMaximized := true
    }
}
