Hm, the new Zombie Land Saga season look kinda different, but I can't put my hand on it.
Did they change the animation studio?

Reading through the dev's Itch page, I'm not entirely sure where he's coming from. He seems to be saying he has a story vision but has no artistic skills and his PC can't run 3D software like Blender, VAM or Daz and that's why he chose a "lousy" engine like HS which is why the graphics suck.

Then he goes on to appeal for Patreon memberships and says he'll run a poll to decide between "3D, Anime and Cartoon"? Does this mean this "game" is just to show his story concept and he's gonna change to an entirely different format once he has enough money to upgrade his PC or procure external artists?

This is the first time I've seen such a weird approach to game development...

Also his graphics suck because he just conveniently used outdated out of the box HS2 without bothering to purchase or even use generic free mods and filters. Lots of top notch AVNs are made with HS2, this has more to do with his inability / unwillingness to invest in coming up with something decent with HS2 rather than the engine itself.

The confusing part is that modded Honey Select can actually be EASIER on your computer with stuff like sideloader and graphicssettings. it's not the worst thing in the world since good writing can save almost anything, but still an odd choice of words.

yeppp and HS is actually still (even tho people will argue against it), probably the best line between fantasy/realism for AVNs. A Zombie game actually fits insanely well into HS for that reason too. Animations would also come across better without being choppy, stutter loops too. Easier creative freedoms to take, and gives a nice "fantasy" feel to the overall story from the gate. Homie def needs to learn how to capitalize letters for starters, and clean up his sentence structure. Maybe ESL? idk but its a bit rough on the story aspect.

initial suggestions:
let us name the protag... dunno why people make gamme w/o this simple feature
break that intro movie up into smaller chunks
spell john the correct way lol
use italics for character thought
