These AI characters are a vast improvement over the original flat characters. The original flat and these new characters are displayed on a screen of text, just to show you who is part of the conversation. There is no view of the place they are at, no view of them blinking or mouths moving as if talking, and no movement. For that, you need to view the Illustrated version of THS.
The original flat characters represent the fictional characters in the story. The new AI characters represent the fictional characters in the story. NO BIG DIFFERENCE THERE.

To be fair, I know some folks (I'm not one of them) dislike AI renders, full stop. I could see them hating the change in general, regardless of how few renders of girls in this version of the game there might be. People like what they like. I just think we don't really need a post effectively saying "Unfollow, unsubscribe, angry, frustrated, hate, bye!" If I decide I don't like a game, I unwatch its thread and then don't visit that or play the game in the future.

The text based version has been going a bit slower the last few months, but don't worry the story is still in progress. However the 0.60 version has not been presented for the Patreons yet, so it will take some time before it turns up here.

One of the reasons why it takes longer time with this update is that I have decided to replace the stills with AI-generated pictures. It's still a text-based games without renders, but hopefully it will be a better visual presentations. I've also put in some nudes in the sex-scenes, so there will be something to unlock.

I almost ignored the thread automatically. No, go back to the normal good pics. AI is repulsive.

Once you notice the creepy uncanny valley stuff on the AI pics, you can't unsee it. For these, it's the arms that get me. The pic generator doesn't understand how human arms work, so it renders them in an odd, totally unnatural way. At least the samples don't show the fingers, so we don't have to worry about 6 or more fingers and multiple thumbs that the image generators love to do... (just saw one of the pics in the OP has a girl with 3 fingers...)

I read there was a gallery and got excited, only to find it is nothing but a picture gallery. Can we please get a scene gallery instead? Picture galleries are boring, you can find pictures anywhere, on every porn site. Written scenes? That's the good stuff.

This is the text-based version of the game. Are there actually any scenes to put in a gallery?

Ah, as of this latest release. But if they're still based on the Daz models, it should still look at least mostly the same. And what I said about unwatching is still true.

Edit: I was wrong; they look completely different. Weird choice to do that over halfway through the game. Xxerikxx, I assume this will be applied to the Illustrated version of the game as well, right?

Of course not. This has nothing to do with the illustrated version. It will still has renders and animations as before.

It's funny how people for 3 years have been complaining about the stills in the text-based version. Nobody have had anything positive to say about them. Still they are complaining when they get replaced. :oops:

Because you replaced something that was "not good" with something that is "very bad".

Illustrated version also doesn't have a scene gallery, only image gallery.

Glad I read this before trying. I have to admit I don't understand it. If all a game has is images, just go to pornhub. XD A gallery with only the images is worthless. Ah well. Maybe a later update!

Don't sweat it. This site has been overrun with whinners and the delusional.

It's worthless to you because it forces you to use your limited imagination. :p

I don't understand why people focus on the pictures in a game that's marked text-based. If picture is important to you the don't play text-based games. The pictures are just an afterthought or something that should help the players remember who the character are.
If you prefer a game with renders and animations then you find the same game in an illustrated version here: https://f95zone.to/threads/the-higher-society-illustrated-v0-21-xxerikxx.99159/

Yeah, I really don't get it either. "You wrecked my imagination with like 20 renders! How very dare you help me keep characters straight!!!" :ROFLMAO:
