for years, we've been asking for a little bit more pictures, no no no, that would be too much work
Bruh, Westane has been upgrading AND adding media this whole time. You're either not even playing the game or not even paying attention.

Yea, i know. I've been subscribed for a while.
That's always how it starts out, and gradually the effort shifts to the art version.
There's several other games that followed the same path.

Hope i'm wrong though!
Westane has 0 plans to completely make the game Art Only. People subbed to his Patreon because of the real pics. Unless the porn companies themselves forced him to take them out, they are not going anywhere.

Art is a safety blanket and makes the game much more marketable and shareable. He just wants to make sure it's in as many hands as it can be without alienating anyone. That's why the releases are seperate for the time being

Yea, i understand this. And it's not my intention to go all pitchfork on Westane.
As i mentioned, i've been subscribed for a while now.
Of course i understand the problems with using real photos, and i understand the decision.

I'm just worried is all.
The art style and the way it is used is not very appealing to me.

typical weasel argument, try and paint someone with valid arguments as if he's a fraud and then lie, you should become a politician
He didn't lie, and what you said was, in fact, not valid.
There have been new pics/gifs for characters added over time, particularly with the character reworks. You not noticing, forgetting or just outright ignoring that undeniable fact is nobody else's problem but yours.


I don't know whether I'm a weird edge case, I'd have thought this a more common issue as it's happened three times on separate playthroughs and game versions
I'd say your experience is more an unusually weird case given the frequency of it happening. You're the first I've seen mention this happening, or at least can remember it happening to.

For sure. And yeah I wouldn't worry overall. Art is to spice up the game, not replace what's there. Westane is very aware that a majority of people prefer real pictures so he isn't going to be changing that this year or the next.

...first he wastes a year adding john content and not this...short survey answer: Drop that shit and continue the game!
How are people still bringing up the John updates? That was 4 years ago!

Plus, he just released a Diana update and about to release another one in a month. Either people have the shortest attention spans in the world or they become hyperfocused on one thing and ONLY that thing.

Art is a BONUS, not the standard. Game is still being updated, characters will be finished, and then the story will be written. It's not the fucking end of the world when Westane does ONE thing different every ONCE in awhile. Fucking hell.

Well, the artwork is good, we can have better for sure but it's not garbage either... & personally i find more appealing drawing art than irl pictures of overused porn actors...
It's fresh & it add personality to the game.

Hope to see the full game with the option to choose between picture & drawing, i know it was a really good add for Free cities to have choice between various characters display arts.

Apart from the characters' eyes, mouths, chins, necks, tits, waists, and general aesthetic, it's really only the flat colouring that's an issue.

But yeah, I recognize that this is a necessary precautionary move, even if I find the particular style wholly off-putting.

Whoa... this game already could make a great immersion into the story and characters using real porn, I can't wait what they would be able to do with custom images since that is the biggest drawback of real porn games that you sometimes have to use other actors just to get the scenes you want. I haven't checked it out yet, but looks really promosing so hope people won't completely pitchfork and torch the dev team.
yeah, custom art is ok, but *THIS* custom art IMNHO sucks. Just playing through the last release here and frankly unless the art style changes will never play that again.

Really like the art-style.

It makes the game more individual compared to other Twine games with IRL porn actors and should be more future proof.

Only need the offline version of it.

Art images don't bother me. I'd almost perfer them to the over used porn pics and videos. I've been trying to develop a DAZ version on my own, not to take away from the Dev just to see is if I could do it..

well ... that was..... something....

I respect the artists ability but that style is definitely a no for me... plus I much prefer real women

I do have to give him credit for, even after all this time, finding new ways to avoid progressing the actual plot

I think the ART style is "okay". Using the ART style should allow the images to be better fitted to the scene descriptions rather than having to fit the scenes around the live images. That said, the proportions of the women are off. For most women, the hips and thighs are too big. On Sophie in particular it looks like her upper thighs are each about as big as her entire torso

Anyone else think it's weird that the MC suddenly has some kind of moral code about dosing someone (Tasha) that they're trying to "build a relationship" with? Where was that moral compass when you dosed literally anyone else in the game?

Im a fan of the art. Not looking towards the long time it would take to make the game mostly art. I would be ok with a Hybrid version until more is 'remastered'

Welcome to the human race... We're weird that way.

At first I was excited to see artwork attached to the game, as I am an artist who also appreciates when other artists get to put their work out into as many venues as possible. However, I gradually got more and more disappointed as all the females have ridiculous proportions that I have no interest in. At least in the real porn version there is a fairly wide variety of body types.
I'm so tired of every game being populated with breasts the size of watermelons along with huge asses and thighs...not at all what I consider attractive or erotic.
