Question.. Why is everyone suddenly acting, based on just some preview images, that he somehow "really cares for his work"? Or that "He's a artist that has an eye for detail"?
I will say that he's better at setting up scenes in the HS engine than me, sure, he's better at Ren'py than me as well, sure, but as people have said in the past, it doesn't take that long to get some good animations or images going..600 images and 20 animations is horrible for 6+ months of work, like more than horrible..
There are other devs that can still get out a decent quality product, and hit thousands of images with far more animations in like 2 months (And they don't have thousands of patreons)... And let's not forget that this game looks this good mostly due to the mods he uses with Honey select. He isn't creating his own art or anything of the sort for this game, he has a really good set up & posturing, which he's milking for all he can...
I also like good preview images, like everyone here, but it kind of feels like people are hypnotized by a couple of pictures, even saying that "The wait was worth it!" before the update even released (Or any other compliments posted after the images)... God damn I don't want to be negative here, but it's like stockholm syndrome up in here..
"Looks good, looking forward to trying it out"- I can be ok with this sort of post, but the compliments went way beyond that.. I just couldn't stop myself from writing this comment.. D:... If those compliments were a troll, they were a good one.
