Unity Taffy Tales [S1 v1.0.35 Redux] [UberPie]

[Count Morado]

they must have because it's not there

That seems like unnecessary work. While I'm not saying Uberpie wouldnt do something that isn't necessary... Moving the hammer is like taking an hour to move a chair in your living room 3 inches and calling it a renovation. I'd review what you need to do for whatever you want. You may not have triggered the hammer's appearance by doing other things first.

That sounds like the Taffy Tales we all know.

Does anyone know how to fully unlock gallery on mac for the most recent update?

Dude, one more time - the overwhelming majority of his followers are happy. If you were even slightly right, they would’ve all unsubscribed at once, and we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. There will always be people who are unhappy, no matter what.

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.

I just finished all quests in S1 redux. The route lasts around thirty days, mainly includes Clara's story before going her home, Becca's story in school, Mary's watching movie and losing weight and helping Tiffany fix her computer.

 

[TyrantX]

I've finished the game.
My opinion about the new version is that it's like the 50 series video cards, the price is exorbitant, but there's no gain

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.

The same place it ever was? Searching the thread for the word hammer -

The first(?) time it was told in this thread was about 2 months after the first version was posted here in 2018:

Did they move it in S1 Redux?

Yeah, dog will bring it to you after you check the garage.

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 ?

 

[Count Morado]

Yeah, dog will bring it to you after you check the garage.

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.

 

[misha100500]

anybody has full scenes gallery ?

Sad, at this point i just add this game in list for almost no hope alongside with Spellhearts and Snow Daze: Redaze.

 

[neub1i]

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.

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.

As I suspected, AI is going to destory it. Same is happening to Daily Lives of My Countryside.
