Folks,

Based on inputs from you and from our own observations, as the game progresses and the artwork quality improves, one thing has become apparent... The render quality in the older episodes are really poor compared to the current stuff.  So one of our plans (eventually) is to improve the earlier artwork (including adding animations to the earlier episodes).

But don't worry - Any work on improving older episodes will not come at the expense of working on new episodes.  I know some devs have decided to release improved older episodes instead of releasing new episodes but we will definitely not be doing that.

If we upgrade older episodes, we'll have dedicated resources working on that, rather than pull resources from the existing team.  So there'll never be a substitution / choice between upgrading old versus creating new releases.  The priority / focus will always be on new episodes.

One other feature that we wanted to add is sounds/music, etc.  But at the moment, I don't see us being able to work on that AND work on improving older artwork.  Preference from the team is updated artwork but we just wanted to get your inputs on what you think would be best to work on so please vote accordingly....

P.S.  The Dev team's preference is updated art.

Thanks,

CG

You guys are doing great work. I really loved the upgraded look for Jenna and can’t wait to see what’s next.

Really would prefer you keep on keeping on , I don't mind the old art. That being said I personnally don't care for sound so if you twist my arm and make me choose I'll take the updated artwork.

For the long haul I think the final product will definitely most benefit from consistent art from beginning to end. I agree the "old" art is still good but you can definitely see the change in direction over the episodes. We'll always have the classic art for people who want it and have gone through the development journey.

Artwork update would be my preference as well. As long as you can just render them in a batch workflow that doesn't take take away from development work.

Thanks for the inputs folks. For the updated artwork, we will not impact progress on the new episodes - We'll be getting a new dedicated person on board for the art upgrades while the current team (including me) remains focused on new episodes.

Definitely improving art. The problem with sound is it has to be complete or it rarely if ever works. So unless you have full sound effects, voice acting throughout, it never feels right

Giovanni Luporini

I have really enjoys this story so far. You guys have done a great job. I feel your art work has been fine up to know and has gotten better over time. I'm not a big fan of music in the story but some sound would be really appreciated.

Can't vote for audio or art work. The earlier episodes were and are fine, great story.

I was actually thinking about how the artwork has improved over the episodes while I started a new game the other day.

I just played thru the entire game start to finish and I personally don’t see the quality difference referenced. I voted sound and music, but personally I’d really rather neither and just focus all effort on new episodes.

I voted for Sound FX personally, as in moaning and/or screaming. Reading it is hot, but hearing it is SO much better!

Jose Carlos Escalera Cernuda

Yo bote por mejora , per otambien soy de la opinion que la calidad de los actuales es muy buena y es mejor dedicar esfuerzos en ir avanzando. les lanzo la pregunta de si en proximos episodios contemplan la posibilidad de que alguna de las protagonistas, salga embarazada. Gracias.

Whatever you do, please do not delay the production of continuing the story, that is more important than either art or sounds.
