"totally" is a stretch, I understand your scepticism but maybe you're not considering that the dev as being consistently drawing for the past 2 years, I assure you can still see similarities, the most obvious I think it the way he draw the eyes and eyebrows.

The art is TERRIBLE in comparison to how this game started. everything was perfect, ART, STORY, VISUALS. it was a 10/10 .. now its a 6.5/10

The art constantly changes because Inatari makes his own art and he doesn't have an already established style yet, especially since before he started working on Corruption of the Village he only made images and not animations, and so he used the "more detailed" style that you all are so desperate to see again at the beginning of the game, but as he continued to work on the game and start adding more and more animations to scenes, his style has obviously changed because (i assume) the original character models would've been a bitch and a half to use for animated scenes.
Flooding the thread with complaints that the art sucks is pointless for muliple reason.
1; Inatari will NEVER see this because he only ever checks this thread whenever he releases a new Update, and even then it's only to see if it got leaked or not.
2; Inatari didn't say anything that would confirm this but i do belive that there's an almost 0% chance that you'll EVER see the original art ever again, mostly because Inatari clearly prefers working with this one and also because nobody, and i mean NOBODY, complains about the current style's quality on discord, and that is the only platform that Inatari cares about.
3; As i said before, Inatari's style changes constantly as time goes on, and so there's a very high chance that sooner or later it'll change again, and who knows, maybe that'll be more to your liking. He's a relatively new artist who's still in college and as most artists he likes to experiment, you can't expect him to come up with an artstyle right at the beginning of his carees and then stick with it for the rest of his life, he obviously wasn't satisfied with the previous one so he started doing something different, and you're gonna see every change that he makes in his style because he can't just simply stop working on the game and disappear for half a year to improve his art, he would kill his own game by doing that.
As for this abomination, let's not get carried away, i like the game as much as the next guy but NOTHING about this game has ever been anywhere close to a 10, especially not at the beginning, and saying that the game has become THAT much worse just because the artstyle looks different is just an insane thing to say.

I do prefer the earlier art as well, that's actually when I've stopped subbing after the art took a different turn to Western look

bro all this is pointless. i texted with inataritales back and forth via subscribestar when i was paying for the game and basically he said he thinks his art now is BETTER.. which is ABSOLUTELY INSANE to say. its clearly MUCH WORSE. peace out
ps. i told him id stop paying for his game unless he went back to how it was. it isnt going back, so now im going to do what the rest of you do, rip him off when the game is out on this site and not paying a single dime anymore.

Wow you really showed him with that sigma move, i bet Inatari's losing sleep over the fact that you'll...continue to play his game regardless but now you'll be angry about it ?

what? his art is clearly better. what did you like about the old one? I am curious. because to me it looks like the old style but more defined and clean.
I'm getting confused here.
If people say his old art was better, do they talk about the anime like art only shown in the very first update or about the western art before he started animations?
I mean it was basically going like this:
1. Anime art (only in the very first version and one or two further scenes)
2. Western / Adult art (adult in the sense of drawings, faces and curves)
3. A lesser version of western/adult art with animations
Personally i prefered the second way. The art was absolute top-tier and i don't care about animations to the point i won't mind to let the art itself detoriate the way it did.
Someone who pays money for the game can feel disappointed with the direction the development took, but for free players it's still a solid experience.

What? His early art was western. His newer art is more anime. But anything to fit the Western bad narrative.
I feel exactly the same way. I know that the art is lower quality now to put updates out at reasonable times with the animations and all, but my problem is with people having a different opinion than me. How can you see the newest art as being better when less thought seems to be put into proportions and a lot less shading and detail goes into it? If you did prefer the new art more for whatever reason, I'd at least feel better to have them admit that its a personal taste thing instead of pretending it's actually better in any objective measurement.

the line-art didn't change one bit, the colouring did, he used soft shading first, and he's using cell shading now (which is simpler-ish and overall faster) for the scenes.
Another point that may be possible is the use of references, the first character (soft shadded) were clearly drawn from imagination, as for the current scenes, they are most likely drawn-over references (ie; actual sex scene from real life porn movie)

This guy is an absurd loser, he's been saying for ages that the game is bad and he's stopped being sub, but he doesn't unwatch the thread or abandon the game.
I think the artwork has improved, but I don't like the way Violet is going, she's getting younger with every new CG.

You can think the game is worse but still play the game. Even in his own rating, it’s a 6.5/10, which he believes is not a game worth financially supporting. That’s the benefit of this website - amidst the development hellscape, you can choose what game to support vs stay on-the-fence
I still stand on the side of the artwork quality declining. It looks cleaner, but it looks generic and you can tell this isn’t him “finding” an art style, but finding what’s easiest. If the majority of us enjoy slop then we’ll get slop.
There are a lot of kind people here, but that doesn’t mean we have to be delusional about the reality of the situation here. No one can seriously look at the latest WIP and think that it takes more effort or time than any of the old thumbnails in the first page of this thread. It’s 70% basic brown shaded wall with lines going up and down, half of a potato (grandpa’s head), and then just a crudely shaded and basic drawing of Violet (whose face and body changes with each update). Rudimentary animations will most likely just look like the whole layer is being dragged up and down.
I’m still optimistic that things can improve or the storytelling/world building will be interesting.
I think this whole thread is becoming people just saying they prefer the last style to the new one( & vice versa), cause there's no way we're saying this art is slop, now im sure you guys have seen what slop really looks like this is not it. Both art styles are good imo especially enough for a porn game by what i believe to be a solo developer and artist, could it be better? Always but real art unfortunately doesn't work that way people dont turn into hentai picasso in a month . Also using the preview imagine where its literally half of the grandpa's face and half of violets body with the majority of the image being a door as your argument for the decline is kinda crazy lol at least pick something where they someone's full body is on the screen, i wouldn't expect most artist to draw there best for a scene like that.

You're right — the body outlines are consistent. Yui and Marin's facial designs have shifted to a Japanese anime style, which is cute but has lost its sensuality.
Violet, however, still looks beautiful and sexy.
To speed up animation production, the shading has become less detailed, making the characters look flat and cartoonish.
I think the best style right now is the one used on the current character status page — it's more distinctive and sexy.

Oh, come on. Now people complain that Yui and Violetta look alike, but in the beginning, Yui and Marin only differed in hair color. I almost stopped playing because the artwork was awful at times, there were some good ones, but there were also some extremely unfortunate ones. That spoiled the game a lot. Now you can make claims about the artwork, but in the beginning there was a mix of good and incredibly bad artwork
