Well reading the responses on Patreon, they have no problem with new art style. I think it's just a cheap and lazy co-opt. I stopped donating, I mean I was pledging to what the it started out with, and to just come in when it just started getting good with these cheap 3rd grade coloring book stuff. I feel like it just got abandoned, and sum less be talented artist come in to keep it goin.
Can you give me an example of what you do not consider cheap 3rd grade coloring book stuff? Like what would you actually like to see in the game?

I'd like to see it continue the way it started
How would you like it if you took a road trip in a Cadillac then stop for gas and come out and now your in a Corolla
Dunno, I'd pay less for the gas at the next stop and I'll get there without my car breaking down?

I admit though, that if I had something like Eldorado and someone would switch it for Corolla, I'd probably be really really sad, I always wanted one of these. (I wouldn't take it out for a road trip though.)

LoL he had the exact same thought as me...... like Uhhhhhh I'd be happy because I saved 40 bucks on gas?

The real car analogy for people's complaints on game would be more like a road trip in something cool exotic and strange that got replaced by vanilla - you were taking a roadtrip in a Youabian Puma and suddenly found yourself in a Focus ;)

I like the 3D. Perhaps a different style or editing/filtering process could get the dev where they want?

I don't have a problem with 2D/handdrawn in general -- some of the best dark/horror games have custom art, although it's usually a lot more moody/stylized -- but I'd agree with the comments that a more dark/horror style is critical and the provided examples might not be there yet.

Still, I'll definitely play another chapter to check it out.

P.S. I'm sure this will be a controversial suggestion at best, but if 3D is definitely off the table: there have been 1-2 heavily filtered/edited real-porn horror games that still worked. They used very dark imagery, with a lot of focus on micro-elements (e.g., partial body shots) and blurry images to create a proper mood (versus trying to repurpose whole scenes from actual, cheesy porn). I'd go that route before I went with bright cartoon art.

What's this "Arc 1" stuff that's up on the patreon? Is it a new update, or something else? Anyone know?

GrumpyGranny would be my favorite dev if he had an attention span. Constantly switching projects and now a totally unnecessary change in art style.
I agree, I think he should pay more attention to these games Karacan and The Cure for Madness has great potential to become one of the best of its genre :love:
but Dev has his personal life and his job so it's understandable that updates take a while unfortunately

when the new update will release?
Looking at their new Patreon post it seems they have only just started the character design of the hand-drawn remake, the new update will be months away, if it ever gets released that is..

:unsure: I think so, right? The last posts on Patreon were two days ago

Read my post here the post in the spoiler tab.


So, with Chapter 5 (which concludes Arc I) TCFM indeed ends as you know it. Or, almost. As I've mentioned before, I will release (in the near future) "Arc I Release" which is essentially Chapter1-5 content with a few extras (I will be more specific about that later) but only for some tiers (and unless you are not in those tiers already, I would suggest not upgrading, as I don't think it would be worth it).
So, it's just everything already here with some bonus, and already said above not worth it, dev's own words.

when the new update will release?
Read the post above, it's going from 3D to 2D, it will be a long ways off.
