 Ok, guys,I saw a lot of different opinions on recent Casey face, that was used in Twerk scene - some of you were like it, some not. I was going to write this post for long enough already and I guess this is a good time to clarify things regarding this and many other changes happened to the project this year.

First of all - all of you guys are AMAZING!! Your support did change a lot already and keep changing for better of the project. Here are the main changes:

I was able to hire a full time artist. This should help to standardize graphics for most of the new scenes;

I have got a nice freelancing concept artist, helping a lot with composition of a new scenes;

I will keep using professional furry freelance artist's help even though their style are different (Lana & Tommi scene and Nikki scene were done by that artist)

I had some help with story writing before, but can't reach the author currently :(

What does that have to do with project and what about Casey cartoon face in twerk scene? 

Casey face is going to change a bit in the next works, less round / cartoon, more human / oval elements, even though some cartoon elements will stay (for emotion reasons mostly). You can see some examples above

I must assure you that changes to Casey face are reasonable, as we keep trying to improve everything, including game arts style. I know we treat it differently from many other projects, where it is either started by professional artists from the beginning, or (if not) just improving very slightly during game development. Current arts are different from what I had in the very beginning, but I don't see it as wasting money. We keep experimenting and not every try is a success, that's true. I'm not redoing old scenes because I think you'd prefer to see new parts of Casey story, but not many-months long process of redoing old story. Oh, I wish to get to the moment when I could say "This is our final art style, and we will keep it till the end of this project and any following" asap (fingers crossed)

I plan to speed up project development. Last month it was first time when I was able to release it with 2 completely new scenes and complicated story in 1.5 months. I have plans to try making pace of 2 new scenes and story every 1-1.2 month

Some furry scenes might still have different art style (like the one mentioned with Lana & Tommi, or Nikki threesome), but I really like those works as well and I think new scenes from the artist can be a decent update for a project

Well, this is about the changes. I don't know if all of them are positive in your eyes, guys... but sometimes you can't know exactly where are you going until you already there.

I enjoy the changes to Caseys face, more changes will happen in the future but I look forward to them all : 3 keep up the good work!

Improving the art is always a good thing but I would like it to be consistent. I'm not sure if I like the current style more then the previous but maybe by seeing more. I think the only problem is that there are too many variations so I would recommend going back and redoing scenes and the world art as you start getting a solid style. I know you think people would rather have new stuff rather then fix old stuff and that may be true but personally if the world art changed like how the bedroom did and if the characters art changed like how Nikki did then that's still like getting new content to me and it lasts longer because it's used in a lot more of the game. It's not new stuff but if the stuff I look at for like 70% of the game were updated I would be happy with that over getting a new scene I would only see rarely. Maybe have a poll about it? Maybe have one new scene and one revamp of an old art asset a month instead of 2 new scenes

There's only image with faces examples, m8. This is a kind of 'work diary'

I'm not sure about poll, because the last time I changed Nikki I've got almost the same amount of positive and negative feedbacks about the change. However I agree with you and I'm going to update some old broken scenes in the future (for example Sam blowjob scene). I need to think over updating most of old scenes. What of them do you think need replacement?

bro

Actually not scenes but the office and the characters. For example, Nikki looks very different then the rest of the characters currently and it would be cool if they all followed the same style. Nikki looks really well shaded and detailed and Casey looks very simple in most of the game. And even though Nikki isn't seen that often, it would be more noticeable for characters you see all the time like jack, Kelly and Casey. For the office or similar environmental areas, outside the main floor that you walk on there is white space and I always see some yellow text I think out there. I think the office could use a touch up as far as the things in it and maybe the white space can be filled with grass or random city stuff, something that shows there's a full world out there that you won't get to but just makes it feel more complete. It is probably a good amount of work but it's also stuff that you see for most of the time playing

My favorite Nikki was her art style after the pizza blowjob. Bring back the nipple piercing and tattoos

biggest thing are the scenes with links that just say in development like some of the jack getting coffee scenes and the ,sam bj would be nice to see returned ,great news on the new artist ,I spent the last 4 weeks in the hospital getting a cancer cut out , fun fun.... the game is progressing nicely

I hope you're feeling fine, m8 (I don't mean fine like a kid, but at list cancer thing is fixed and you can just relax a bit, getting back in shape)?

Chris

The 2D somehow looks way better than the 2.5d maybe you can make another game in the future with the two pictures on the right as the artstyle

Do you mean something pretty simplified regarding shading?

william wofford

well lost about a foot of colon so i guess i am less of a ass than i used to be lol .the stomach muscles they cut through will take time to mend ,and i wont be wearing a bikini anytime soon :P ....but i will take it day by day and fight the battles as they come ,no other way to be .

Chris

I mean the lighting, shading and the way you color her. The simple looks less realistic which is a good thing sometimes! Because forcing something to look more 3D like when its supposed to look like a cartoon and moving it around is really difficult, Thats why it seems like its all or nothing unless its a still picture. Either you go 3D or you go 2D, Have you ever seen a cartoon or anime succed at the artstyle you are using? I know this might sound harsh BUT i love your stuff so its coming from a place of love not being angry. I don't expect you to change for my opinion i just wanted to put it out there. Also sorry for the wall of text its just proof of how much i care

leave2gether

that's and interesting idea, I'll think it over

leave2gether

Keep it up, m8. I'm sure bikini will wait for you whenever you are ready :D

Chris

Thanks for listening and responding!
