In earlier versions the art style had a stable high level, characters in different perspectives remains recognizable, and drawn in the same style. Dialogues were funny, interesting and meaningful. In the content of version 0,7 all of it is gone wasted. Arts, made for the Gomira's update, sometimes have different style, which makes discordance, and just looks crude (like it has been made by another artist). Dialogues in Gomira's story became endless and stupid (- Grrrr! I'll kill that traitor! - Wait! No! We must find another solution! - Grrr! Ok... I will not kill her then...). Characters just discuss the same things again and again, or talk about some meaningless stuff, just to prolong your walkthrough. All the text, written for 0,7 version, can be easily shortened in 3-4 times.

Not exactly. As for me, when Gomira had appeared in the game for the first time, I liked her. She became my third favorite girl in the game, after Gretta and Goldenbush. I've been waiting for her personal update. But as a result, Gomira's arc is a weak point of the whole game. :(
Gotta disagree on art, I think Chestnut was still up to her usual high level. If I have a complaint it's that the mirroring for characters facing left/right in Ren'Py sometimes causes items held in one hand to swap to the other / costumes to swap sides in ways that can break suspension of disbelief, and I have to wonder whether it's really too much effort to just draw a second variant of the pose? idk enough about Ren'Py to say, I guess, so I try not to criticize work when I don't know much about how it's made.

But as I've stated before I did feel like Gomira's story is too "railroady" with not enough breaks for the player to do something else, try to think of a solution, fetch an item from elsewhere, and sadly no crafting in the tent! It was mostly just an extremely long slideshow. I did enjoy the story for the most part but would like it to feel more "gamey". I also felt like Gomira "fell for" the MC far too quickly and easily in her route - I expected her to at first reject the "puny human" and only be won over at the end after great difficulty to prove yourself to her. Instead she's presented as horny as fuck and just indiscriminately ready to get down with a member of another species, which felt off to me. I like a bit more of a feeling of "pursuit" before the "score", you know? Sometimes it felt more like Gomira was pursuing the MC!
Strongly disagree with her story being the weakest part of the game. I thought that was Roses by far. I didn't have any problems with Gomira story at all other than there were less funny thinking moments.
Rose's story was a 10/10 for me, but then I already liked her. My theory had been she was secretly the werewolf that was terrorizing Myrtle's house, but "half demon trapped in debt bondage to a full demon" was a cool plot in the end, and gave the MC a realistic way to win her heart. In many ways Rose is more of a "damsel in distress" even than Myrtle was, and I love how the resolution of her story gives her room to be both strong (flying Lassie around, looks scary in demon mode) but also soft and vulnerable (when they relax together in bed). I would love it if future main story plots allow more locations to fly to with Rose! I want to sing "Whole New World" from Aladdin every time I hitch a ride on her lol :LOL:
That's some good points you are making. I have said it before the release of 0.7 gomira update that they will going to make the dialogues long for order update to be feels long and worth the 2 year wait :rolleyes: For the reason why art style feels different is because they most likely rush the damn thing.
Again disputing that the art fell off, but I agree that Gomira's story often felt long winded and meandering. I enjoyed the "barbarian skeleton boss with dumb clownish retainers" villain arc but it was strange that we then had a second arc with Mei and the Dragon which felt very disconnected from the Skeleton Island stuff. There was overall way too much time spent on Skeleton Shenanigans and way too little time on "MC goes through trials of strength to win Gomira's affections". I wonder less about padding dialogue and more whether the Mei/Dragon storyline was originally planned for a later update and got "moved forward" to quell discontent over update size after the long delay. It feels so disconnected from anything else in the Gomira arc is all. That said, the Mei/Dragon stuff was BY FAR my favorite part of Gomira's update - I just wish that the MC/Gomira romance wasn't already more or less a sealed deal before then. I would have rather the Mei/Dragon arc be upfront and that's how MC proves his worthiness, then he and Gomira have the victory fuck, THEN we have a second adventure with wacky skeletons AFTER she is already an official love interest.

Roses update was just boring and the villagers were more annoyng than funny, it got better once Rose started to lose her powers, but I think it's easily the weakest storyline we've had so far.

I'm honestly not really sure what to say here. I disagree first of all that it was long winded and meandering but I mostly disagree that the skeleton bit mattered at all aside from comedy. The warm town dragon bit seemed like it was the main part that was actually connected to Gomira in their story while the Skeleton bit was mostly just a humorous obstacle that was in our way. The warm town part with the dragon actually tied into Gomira and Mei's backstory as well as establishing some decent amount of lore about the setting. It's weird you're saying that the dragon bit of all thngs seemed padded on because if anything I'd say that was the boner island part. I enjoyed both parts though
