Since i've been engaging with this project for a while, i think it - unfortunately - welcomes some criticism.
I actually don't understand the direction they're taking with this "stripped down" version of this "update".
I think the game only gets better when you have acess to the AI generated images.
Improvement, in my opinion, should be a "touch up" on those AI images, to make them - mostly - more original.
Having it all being remade using models from AI SHOUJO or HONEY SELECT does not serve the game right, at all.
I understand it ultimately comes to preference.
Since the game relies on parodies, fetiches and such, it would more optimal just to turn the girls more appealing, using the same realistic artstyle, but improved upon, somehow.
The models from illusion games don't look better than those generated by AI, even though they are 2d.
And, to be honest, this game can't substitute just booting up one of those illusion games yourself, since then, you'd have way more options, including animated scenes and customization.
My point is: This game had something diferent: narrative, scenarios, mechanics - all in favor of discovering new scenes and pictures that - although generated by AI - felt original, because of the sense of discovery.
An honest uptade would give more scenes, pictures, or maybe mechanics.
Changing the artstyle, at this stage, feels like a step backwards, and a big one, since we're back at least 70 quests.
The revamp of the pictures, utilizing and even more generic 3d model, will strip out the only think this project can really rely on.
A shame.
I don't think it's a good idea...
But hopefully, i'm wrong...
