The new update was really great, the exams and reika part is peak comedy!!!! But what with the sudden greyness color tone? If playing straight from 4 to 5 then it will feel kinda weird at the sudden change to some kind of mystery horror theme game though it is not really an issue or anything since it maybe intentional for future content maybe? idk. My only issue is WHY THE GREY UNIFORM TOO ??? The white one looks so good at the last update, It really suits the elite academy vibe. Now everything in chapter 5 looks like we're in some kind of super strict middle-class public school. It just feels really wrong to me in this setting. Though, all in all, thank you for your hard work. I really love your game, it is one of the best in terms of visual design and writing for me. Wish you best luck in your life <3
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Regarding the visuals, I noticed that Renpy had a strange method of adding saturation to the renders, which resulted in images appearing more reddish. I fixed this issue and made several overall improvements, such as enhancing skin shaders, textures, and so on.
I also decided to create a more natural and darker atmosphere, which aligns with my initial vision for the game.
As for the new uniforms, I have gained the knowledge to create my own assets, allowing me to depict the uniform in a more original and traditional way. Additionally, I now have the flexibility to modify it if needed, which was challenging with the previous uniform. Not to mention, the previous uniform lacked movement flexibility and required adjusting the characters' physique to make it look good.
