I think those are some great points about the backgrounds!
The character in LoveSick Darlings are realistic (at least I hope they are) so putting them against a realistic background does add a certain something to it. I definitely agree. The resources for drawn backgrounds is also a lot more effort compared to taking pictures and maybe filtering them. Thanks for the input though! :)
And thanks so much for the kind words regarding the project! It's good to have someone so keen/excited in the game involved directly with it.
