Good for them, it dosent change the fact that the 'update' is shit. If after one year he added 5k AI renders that progress the story, id still call it shit, but at least you could make an argument of new tec and progress made.
But 300 AI CGs after a year, that were already previously hand drawn. He is just milking suckers at this point.

Are the examples of work in Western 2D better than in this project? I've already mentioned that the only one on Uber’s level or higher is Cloud Meadow. I’d say that’s a top-tier artist, but no one has even come close to them yet - plus, it’s pixel art.

Otherwise, you’re just repeating the same thing: that it’s shit, shit for you, shit, shit, etc. Do you realize that for many people, including me, the art is amazing? And it has improved a hundred times compared to before.

The only thing I didn’t like was Uber’s early AI period, but back then, AI as a whole was still weak. I’ve already explained in detail, with examples, why AI is just another tool now, like a digital tablet. No one’s talking about pure AI-generated art from raw prompts - that stuff is trash and a nightmare.

What Uber is doing is a fusion of a good (not the best) artist and AI, and that’s exactly what makes it work.

Taffy Tales used to have in my opinion the best art style for a porn vn game and a very compelling story, as pointed many times when you inject AI to a project such as this for god only knows why it loses its soul. The mechanics may have improved, but the core of what made the game successful in the first place is gone. I don't know what made Uber take this rout, but AI i a tool and should remain as such, if he wants to generate poses and polish them fine, if he wants to generate backgrounds and polish them fine but make the tool do all the work and claim you worked hard is a slap to the face to all his backers, I won't even go into detail of how some of his models have clear outer lines in some parts (hands, faces, etc.) and at others not at all, he appears to not even bother to pay attention to the cropping he does after the AI generates a model for him. I really wanted this game to return to form but from what I saw on this update and from the side to side comparisons Taffy Tales is gone and maybe it should die. And from a quick glance at the discord, people are not happy there to with the update.

So what exactly is this redux ? Cuz so many negativity. Is there continuation of quests or just rework of already existed content ?

WTF? why fuck with that task? I'm getting the feeling there was a lot of busy work that wasn't needed done and some proper work that never got done.... And still delivered 4 days past planned release.

Sounds like the whole 2022 fiasco over again.

Rework with some revision and retrofitting.

WTF is that image on the right? Just released from captivity in Buffalo Bill's pit in his basement? "It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again..."

Lack of attention to detail... Uberpie's calling card.

A weak attempt at manipulation - comparing it to cg art with a different head position, emotions, etc. And yeah, this is one of the weakest cg in the project, but the rest are absolutely stunning.

Oh, and by the way - people are happy with it. Stop living in a fantasy world.

And yes, the new art is awesome.

A bit of both. Quest and scenes rework is actually make a bit better flow. Art rework tho, awful. Uberpie was far from best artist in weg, but he at least understand that person cant look like Tiffinator in one scene and Ticcfany in other.

if he reworked the old, way superior art with AI shit, then this game is finally cooked. it started as a potential competitor for summertime saga and ended up being an AI whale dick game with no real direction and development around the house. RIP Taffy Tales.

You didn't want a rock hard WWE Tiffany with an 8-pack in one image and then fetal alcohol syndrome disorder mermaid Tiffany in another?

I mean Uberpie always had a few issues with keeping characters on model... unless he was tracing, but you'd think when using AI, he'd choose only the ones that were the most on model.

Because they rejected the game during review.
