Combat:
Almost the same, though it feels like I'm getting hit much more often than in the previous versions. That might be just me being clumsy though.
Missing Characters:
The obvious later characters aside, Moorella, the patreon cat-girl and the dark elf seem to be completely missing.
Fishing:
It's better than the old system, but maybe add a free fail in there, as it's really easy to hit the key right at start.
New Art:
I'm unsure whether I should like the new art.
I also wasn't sure if I should say anything at all, as I might accidentally insult someone here.
Not sure what it is but Gabriela in particular feels extremely off. At first I thought it was just the chest reduction, but I guess it's her overall proportions that feel wrong. Fiona has a similar issue. - Not sure why those two stick out that much, maybe because they are the most lightly dressed ones.
At first I thought they might be the old ones put into an AI, or at least an AI used to spruce them up. Let me justify why I think AI was used here:
- As mentioned: Fiona's and Gabriella's proportions. I can also easily see an AI drawing a fairy with a smaller chest than Gabriela used to have
- Eyes: Some of them feel like they were made in a different art style. Take Mara and Nura for example. Or Nura and Scarlett. Scarlet and Isabella's faces in particular look really different from the rest.
- Isabella has panty tan lines, but doesn't seem to be wearing any.
- Gabriela's left hand (Player view) - Looks like just 4 fingers. I do see a stub that could be one there, but it still looks off.
That being said, I apologize in case they were actually fully drawn and it's just multiple artists. In fact, it's hard to tell as the cracters are similar enough, yetr also totally different - going by the way hands are drawn I'd say man-made
Overall, the I think the old art looked better, but that's a personal opinion. That being said, I'm not sure if the artist is still the same, but given the huge change in art style I suggest making a Patreon Poll (or maybe even a general one) on whether the old art should return. (If that is even still possible) - That being said if an AI was actually used you should be clear about it in the poll too, should you decide to take the suggestion and make one.
