Update 1.52 - Important Information Please Read

Hi Dyne. I know that it is a little late to download this update since the link has expired but, is there any chance that I can download it?

Ursus

UUHHH, I might need to revisit that. Whoops

DyneWulf

Finally got around to finishing Coach's new day (which is great, I've been looking forward to these days for a while) and had one point *MINOR SPOILERS* - wasn't the MC meant to be working this day?

PoCub

Hey Dyne, it sucks when personal and professional relations with someone get in the way of one another. I'm always in support of going separate ways professionally, in order to salvage the friendship. And from what I saw of CaptainGerBear's work, I think EA will be just fine! He manages to keep the characters' personalities while adding his own style. His Chester looks just as cute and goofy as does CM's. I'm so looking forward to EA's future! :D

BassPuppy

Well that's something :o But i'm glad that Things aren't that stressful for you anymore! I've never heard of CaptainGerBear , but his Art seems Nice :D Even Tho i'm not a Huge fan of Maria, she looks kinda weird, but maybe that's just the Angle. Can't wait so see Spencer! :D But as far as i know, Changes in the Artstyle are mostly good. Since Tennic Ace from WOTB also had some really heavy Changes in his Art, and they are just Awesome! So i'm really looking forward :D I'll support your Work, no matter what! ^_^ (PS. It took me a while to recognize who owns that Room... Bed... Computer.. It's from Dozer!, which means i really have to replay his Route!)

Choky

Don’t forget there are replies, they’re not counted unless you click on them.

Vic Viper

I'm pretty sad to see CM go myself, though I've been a huge fan of GerBear ever since See No Evil so I'm really looking forward to seeing the personal touch he'll bring to the characters of ECA. Best of luck with your partnership together and to ECA's continued success.~

Korel Dagh

Mixed feelings... with CM gone i´d feel that I part ways with the characters themselves, but Capt. Gerbear is an excellent artist! I can feel the love he puts into his games and that makes him an excellent element to keep this game going, and evolving. I´m a fan myself of Capt, so I look forward to future updates!

Ron

I can't seem to get to the top comment. Hitting load comments repeatedly only gets me to 117 of 165 comments... :/

Look at those biceps! Those bulges are enormous ;)

DyneWulf

We have been together for a while, so our friendship was more important <3 And me and GerBear seem to be getting along great. He's really passionate about what he's doing, and it rubs off on me a bit, haha.

DyneWulf

I'd like to think we're in good hands with him ;) Richard's time will come also, so stay tuned!

DyneWulf

Things are good, yes :D And I agree, I think GerBear's style will look amazing on all the guys. I can't wait to share more!

DyneWulf

Thank you! He's such a dear friend to me~ Whether it's a positive or negative impact though, I'll keep things rolling :) I love my guys too much, and I can't just give up on them!

DyneWulf

Thank you so much for your kind words and constant support, Slate! I'm happy to hear all that. Ger certainly will be bringing a lot to EA, and I'm so excited to see how things progress from here.

DyneWulf

Phew, glad that is wasn't an issue XD

DyneWulf

Haha, glad to see you enjoyed both routes there. It was a lot of fun diving into HArold's right this time, and I was able to interact will pretty much the entire main cast. That was great. I'm totally looking forward to his next couple of updates too, and seeing what GerBear does with the art ;)

DyneWulf

Thanks so much for the encouragement, Artemis :) I'm good, overall! It's been tough, but I'm doing juuuuust fine now. Thank you!

DyneWulf

What happened to their bulges... :(

Lux

Nani!!! it's very sad news about cursemark you both are together for along and I like both of you. btw with Captaingerbear is very big surprise. Hope you can go along together ^ ^

Edgaa

Ah...really sad to see Cursemarked go. But I won't lie, I was super relieved when I saw Captain Gerbear was the replacement. We're in good hands. Those new designs are already looking great and I like how he's staying true to their original designs while adding his own flair. I'm not worried. Also, man I want the MC to spend more time with Richard. I like him more and more every time he shows up.

APallion

I waited for four months for that! We never even got to send him a junk shot.

Chris

It's a shame that you two are parting ways. While the character styles wasn't normally what I look for, it had a certain charm to it. I hope things are still good between the two of you. As for CaptainGerBear...I'm a fan. I loved See No Evil and while I haven't played all of Bastard Bonds yet, it's certainly on my list. His art styles should be a perfect fit for these characters.

badaimrac00n

Damn, I was hoping for a scene with Darius by CM lol. I own all of Ger Bear's games and his style is really pleasing, its just going to be so jarring haha. The story is what pulls me to the game, so I'm glad you will be continuing forward. Oh yeah, will the Dakimakura's from CM stay available? I was planning to pick up Chester later on to finish up my collection, but if needed I might rush an order...

Gaffgarion

i have wondered about this too hmm. I could easily see a bad ending for Harold, Darius or Dozer in a way ;-; I hope just two kind of endings, one of lack enough love points ending where its just okay. and then a super epic special kind of ending if your love points are high enough :D

Hyou Vizer

I forgot to ask, but will there be bad endings in the game when it nears completion? It's just curious 'cause it's pretty rare for a visual novel to have all good endings

Inari Industries

I'm happy to hear things with CM didn't end on a sour note, and that it was just his involvement in this game that was ended and not friendships. I will miss his art of the characters and the familiarity of them throughout the course of the game's development, but it's also your writing that gives the characters their colour. I hope this doesn't impact the patreon too much!

bigfootgolem

Oh, wait, nevermind, it was my delusions after all XD Sorry!

So, on the side note (totally supporting the change of artists, btw, both are amazing and incredibly talented), does anyone see that it downloads the mac versión when clicking the PC one? Just me? Again with the delusions?

*UPDATE SPOILERS BELOW* goddamn, those new BGs at dozer's place look fantastic, I wanna live in that apt only 2nd to spencer's apt's BGs now. Dozer's day was adorable, comforting the gentle giant of his fears. Dyne i swear with Dozer you keep checking off each of my boyfriend fantasties and fetishes its freaky haha. i can't wait to see even more dozer art from gerbear, I love his version of Dozer so much! harold's day, its wonderful to see the other characters so active outside their own routes even more. Oh boy, please keep the Harold and Richard sexual antics coming, its marvelous. D&D game...I mean LnL (heh) this sunday wowzers that sounds so neat, awesome surprise event there. I see Harold & Maria bonding over LnL, maybe that could be the link to them being a couple outside Harold's route. Once more darius helps MC like in chester's last day, i love this, his input of sex related things in other routes. I laughed so hard when Harold was nerding out mentioning that low dexterity human in LnL killed himself with his own sword XD. ooo possible pool sex for day 27 yes? i love the teasing idea of that happening ha. the choices of how to sleep are a clever nod to the MC's sex positions I'd assume, example: back = top, stomach = bottom, side = versatile, correct? if so I love this a ton if that is the case going into Day 27 2nd sex scene.

Hyou Vizer

Visual aspect is only one part of the game, the most of it is made by you... You are creating those characters and you are giving them life. Until you have passion and energy to continue your work... everything should be just fine. Do your work and let people get used to the changes - it always takes some time. There are new backgrounds which looks amazing and CGB characters looks quite nice - he is really good if it comes to human characters, Hal looks just... wow. You also have music composed for you. So it's a progress and a step forward. Yeah, it's going to be different, but I'm sure you will do everything to make the story as amazing as it was until now. It's not an easy job, but don't make it be too stressful. No one here wants you to burn out - we want to see the end! I hope you are doing fine overall, because it sounded like there was a lot on your head lately. Take care and keep up the good work.

Hyao

No fret! IT's a scary thing for me too, since I've been working with the same artist since the beginning. It's gonna be a huge transition for everyone.

DyneWulf

I'm honestly terrified for what's to come with the artwork. I've honestly never been a fan of the new artists work so I fear what is to become of the handsome Spencer and handsome Harold, but until the artwork is finalised I really can't say anything against it. I really hope this goes well, but it's for the best . Also. Sorry for sounding like an ass. I'm just terrified.

Inari Industries

Maria does seem a bit thicker, but we are seeing new angles that we never had before, and she's got the more... motherly look to her now. I think once we get some new poses and expressions with her, it'll really suit her perfectly.

DyneWulf

I'm really looking forward to seeing how things progress too ;3

DyneWulf

Haha, Hal finally has a body (and damn straight, he looks hot x3)

DyneWulf

Me and CM are really close, so I want him to be happy and less stressed in the future. This is one step towards that ;3 ANd yeah, it's a crazy journey that I'm just adding a new chapter to. I can't wait to keep things rolling!

DyneWulf

New face and poses will be coming along with this change, so look forward to that :D

DyneWulf

Thanks a bunch! It's a huge transition to make, and I think once it's in, people are really gonna enjoy it :)

DyneWulf

Thanks a bunch! I think there will be a lot of life added in coming updates ;3

DyneWulf

He's really doing a great job!

DyneWulf

Thanks, Zaos! He's doing his best to keep true to the cast, and so far, things are looking amazing. I can't wait to give you all more ;3

DyneWulf

It's a sad day for many of us. I've wrestled with it for a few weeks now, and felt it was time to break the news. I love seeing what Ger is bringing to the table though, and I think when people see what we have in store... They'll fall in love all over again!

DyneWulf

I still plan on working on the story aspect, it'll just be light during the next update. I'm gonna spend a lot of my next two weeks working on art updates.

DyneWulf

Again, sorry for sounding rude, but Maria is indeed a very important character on ALL routes at the same time being only major female character, and this prototype makes her lose both part of her character (because the sprite representing her is your first impression and try to assume how she behaves (for example, she loses that cutey shyness she had)) and her femininity (because new prototype makes her appear more...manly?) and that is freaking big, it can affect the whole story because it can change the way reader percieves what she says and her actions...

Kereng

tbh i couldn't stand CM's version of Darius when it first came out and it took months to adjust to it. Now with Darius having a mane beard I love how CM made him think thanks to Mark's idea so Darius' art change to gerbear's style will be the hardest to re-adjust to RIP sexy CM darius mane version ;-; BUT i love how chester and dozer turned out tho, especially harold

Hyou Vizer

The story is what keeps me here, though new art is cool, but please, PLEASE do something with Maria, she looks like very weird, like a male hunk that grew boobs and started wearing female clothes...I know that sounds rude, but that is honestly how it feels... Old Maria looked fragile and cute because she was small and thin compared to other characters, her stance (legs put together and one hand holding another) made her look if not insecure, then at least shy (as if she was afraid to hurt your feelings, I guess?) and her face was just somehow...looking...female-ish? Maybe it has to do with cheek fur and overall head shape (less rough-looking compared to other characters)... I'm looking forward to male sprites though, and backgrounds! I also wish luck to new artist and the whole project! Thanks for keeping us updated <3

Kereng

The rework example for Darius made me cringe so hard my face started bleeding... I'm literally searching for meds to calm my autism because I'm freaking out X_X

Tangakwunu

First I'd like to say I'm sad to hear about the whole situation and I'm happy that you and CM stayed friends. Second - PLEASE don't take me as rude. I am extremely sad and heartbroken and I have autism so I'm extremely brutal and picky. I have a similar situation in real life like the main character has with Darius. Identical friendship with an identical guy (physically and mentally, except for the family background and money). Also the story is a little different but similar. I can't believe how... ugh I can't find a polite word for disgusting except for - unattractive Darius is to me... I mean look at this... <a href="https://prnt.sc/iftx5q" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://prnt.sc/iftx5q</a> My eyes hurt... I really hope we can get the old art outside the game like in a gallery like you said you will do because I'm seriously damaged from the horrible rework on Darius. My eyes feel like I poured acid in them. I hope the new artist can make him similar to the old Darius like he did for Dozer (he kinda looks the same) I freaking L O V E this game and think about it all the time. I love the story and I love the old art. For me its 50-50 when it comes to why I'm liking the game - 50% story and 50% art. Darius's art is PERFECTION (the one from CM.) UGH I'm seriously drinking some meds right now to calm my self. I'm sorry I'm just a big drama queen X_X My precious Darius is being destroyed X_X So freaking sad.............................................. Edit: I've saved the picture of the new art and I'm analyzing it and comparing it and I have to say that compared to CM's art the anatomy on them is... politely said... like the artist lacks practice? Was this drawn extremely fast just so you can present it to us? I really hope he improves his anatomy drawing skills because this doesn't look like payable material... I hope... I REALLY HOPE... If the art continues to be goofy and anatomically dysmorphic compared to the old art in the next 3 months... I feel that many patrons will stop the money flow. When it comes to games 50% is art and 50% is story. That is a fact. Lets see how it goes... I will stick around... Crying in a corner holding my phone with old Darius as my background :'(

Tangakwunu

Completely gutted :( a very sad day for EA. the hand that drew Spence and the rest of the guys is no longer with us. i hoped that with such an amazing monthly $ stream you would be able to complete this gorgeous project together. i do believe the artwork was 50% of the project.

It sounds like I might be the minority but I was never really a fan of CM anyway. I'm not saying he isn't talented, or saying his art is bad by any means, just that his proportions generally didn't mesh well with me so I was enjoying this game in spite of that not because of it. CaptainGerBear is an excellent replacement, in my opinion. My only complaint is in the art you've shown off Maria looks a little beefier than I'd peg her for but that's just my opinion.

Riss

Ah, we'll miss Cursedmarked, his art is great. But you did find a very good artist who'll pick up the pen! I'm very much looking forward to seeing his contribution! :)

Asarus

Im sad that CM is leaving but excited about the future art (Can't wait to see what Harold looks like!) and uh was Hal always THAT hot?!?!?!

Conner McCoy

I've always loved Captain Gerbears art so really as long as you're happy thats all that matters Dyne and its wonderful that you an Cursed are able to keep your friendship. This type of story is as old as time and its rare for it to end on such a happy and civil note so I'm very delighted for you as well and for Cursed to as he seems like a lovely guy as well. Its been quite a journey so far and I can't wait to see how this journey continues to progress :) You've got a supporter in me until the very end :D Onwards and upwards as they say, don't look back, always look forwards. Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future. On a random side note, I think Dozer will be very happy with his new look, his biceps have grown immensely in size ;-)

Naesaki Ashwell

I support this transition and look forward replaying the game with the new art designs. I hope they will have the facial reactions in the new style, and I can't wait to see how this affects the "Interactive Scenes."

Arcaevius

I am a huge fan of Captain Gerbear's art style, and I really do like CursedMarked's style too. The unfortunate thing for this is that unless Dyne has permission to use his art, it wouldn't be right to still have it in the game. When the game is completed, it would be surprising for people who don't know what's going on to see that. I think a complete redo of the character designs may be inevitable.

Arcaevius

I hope this doesn't sound bad, but will the focus shift to redoing the existing art or just pressing ahead with updates using the new artstyle? Personally I don't mind the idea of keeping DM's art up to this point and moving on from that with art from the Captain. I am also curious to the opinions of other people on here, would you like the updates to continue with DM work being gradually phased out, a complete redo of the characters from start then further progress, or the idea of leaving what exists and moving on with CaptainGerBear?

Nemakalia

Sorry to hear that CursedMarked won't be working on this anymore I didn't know about him until I found this game and grew to like his work because of it. It's going to be a rough transition from one art style to the other but I support it 100%. I like Captain Gerbear's style as well so I'm interested to see all the changes that are going to come from him. I'm sad to see CM go but I'm happy that the project is still going strong! Keep up the good work, we've all got your back!

Burning_Mandala

Great idea, it would be great to have an art pack with all CM's work related to EA... Please Dyne make it happen!

David Drake

Now this is a suprise update! Yes it is sad CM is out of the equation.. but is actually a blessing in disguise. Both CM and Captain Gerbear have unique art styles.. yet Captain's art style is more expressive , the characters feel more alive.. i think that helps in a dating visual novel . I wish you both the best of luck..and finish this game together .

Gutsyrabbit

I feel sad about not seeing more CM art but it was an excellent choice getting CaptainGerBear onboard the project, i love his art as well!!

David Drake

Man I hate to see CM go since he's done such great work for the game, but on the other hand CGB looks like he's already well on his way to doing some amazing stuff as well. I really like how Dozer's done especially in that preview above (those aaaarms &lt;3). I love how true to the designs he's staying while infusing some of his own flair. I have every confidence things will turn out great. Keep it up Dyne. :D

Zaos

It really sucks CM will be leaving, his art was a hyge factor in what drew me into the story, and while I'm sad to see him go, CaptainGerBear is an equally amazing artist who I hope can capture the same feelings from your story. But I hope this won't effect any current merchandise that CM has already made, such as the Daki's or wall scrolls. And finally since you have a new artist taking over the project would there be any way to get maybe an art pack featuring all the artwork CM has currently done, including the hidden scenes?

Donovan Grayson

This is some incredibly sad news! :( while I love GerBears art (I have all his games), CM’s art just suits EA’s vibe so well. (And is my personal preference) good to hear it isn’t the end of EA, and of course it’s not worth your friendship, but I can’t help feeling sad about this. Ah well, let’s see what the future brings.

Raistlin

Also, CaptainGerBear does produce some extremely good art, so I'll be looking forward to that. Plus, his art style adds some more variety to the characters and their body builds. So it's nice to see that as well. I hope you and CM are still friends though. It would be a shame if you lost that friendship after so long.

Damn, it's a bummer to hear that CM is leaving the project after being a part of it for so long, and since I've gotten used to how the characters were portrayed by him. However, I'm looking forward to seeing how the new artist does with the project, and I'll still be playing the game. Things happen, as unfortunate as it may be. But at least the project is ongoing. That's what counts. &lt;3

Will there be both character development and art changes in the same update just one of the two lacking or exclusive art updates and character updates (if you are to keep your update scheduled)? Keep up the good work!

KilltoD23

I was the same way about the preview, but I believe it would work out fine. We will all have to wait and find out. (fingers cross)

Antonio

I'm really bummed out that CM is leaving...but I do understand how hard something as big as this and as long as two years going can be hard on a friendship. I really do love this game and the art is what really pulled me in and I just stayed for the story. Overall the game and the art helped me find out more things about myself, I didn't (and wouldn't) of thought I would like...ever! However I do love the story and the direction its going so I'll stay and see where it heads to. I'm not too hyped for the new artwork CaptrainGerBear is previewing ( *hides behind laptop* Don't shoot, just being honest)...However, I do know its just a preview and to truly don't judge a book by a cover, plsu im probably the miniority that isn't super hyped about it, but I'll stay until the end, as long as I can support this game. its been a huge stress reliever from college and etc.

Kevinsora

Yes~

DyneWulf

Hmm, if anyone else has any issues or encountered something similar, do let us know! It seems to be something that has varying results.

DyneWulf

AHaha, well thank you for that!

DyneWulf

He has his hands full, for sure! He works full-time on his game and part-time for EA. It will be replaced eventually, but we'll be prioritizing what gets replaced first.

DyneWulf

One small preview of more to come!

DyneWulf

CaptainGerBear is doing a great job, so I can't wait to show off more~

DyneWulf

It's a whole bag of mixed feelings, right?

DyneWulf

He's done some amazing work for me, so it's sad to see him go. I really hope for the same for him! I can't wait to see where things go ;)

DyneWulf

Do Android users have to redownload the game to get updates?

Corey

Sad to hear about cursedmask but damn Hal looks hot! However, is anyone else having problems installing the new android apk? My usual file manager app isn't working. I know you were having some problems with the android version Dyne but I'm wondering if it's just me?

PoCub

O hell yea, even if the losses were heavy the new direction of this game sounds very Gerbeary. First game i've supported that doesn't sound like it becomes a car crash after something like this. 😙

Eternalityx

while that's sad to hear, I can't help but be overjoyed by CaptainGerBear. I mean, isn't he super busy making his own games? Also will all previous art be replaced? I mean, it's already there, and it's not like it looks bad or anything

Fuzen

Wow. I LOVE The menu choice colors :D

Griffonheart

OMG! I'm totally loving what's going on. (aside from the ending collaboration with Cursedmarked) The art is so awesome! Hope you guys stay great friends.

Shadowmarkwolf

I love CGB, so this is a surprise! Bastard Bonds was so good. CM is also a favorite though and it's a shame that he's discontinuing. Also, thank you guys for your work

Sean

This is really a sad thing to read. Give my heartful thanks to Cursed, for having drawn such a quintet of gorgeous guys. I wish him to rest and be well, and I hope that his future projects will be less stressful. This being said, Gerbear's arrival in the team is very promising. You could not find a better successor to Cursed :-) Now, let's play this update :-3

Kernog

Thank you so much! I plan to continue to strive for greatness, so keep an eye out!

DyneWulf

It is and we are! Thank you ;)

DyneWulf

It wasn't an easy decision to come to either, but I think it's in the best interest of everyone that this happened. Thanks so much too! I'm really excited to see how things go from here :)

DyneWulf

It's a really huge change, for sure. I've been with CM for over two years working on this now, and it's crazy to see it change. I'm really looking forward to moving forward with CaptainGerBear now, so stick around, and let's see what more he brings in ;)

DyneWulf

It's going to be a painful process to change them all over :D I'm looking forward (and dreading) diving into that. This is a "smirk" for Darius, so he will seem a bit devious ;) I'll probably add a "legacy" gallery and have some of stuff stored there as well!

DyneWulf

My sympathies to both you and CursedMarked - it's a shame that this has happened but hopefully it will turn out to be the best decision for the both of you! As for the change in art style don't worry. The new art style looks just as good, and you consistently deliver high quality content in regards to story and atmosphere. I will continue to support you and this game and I'm actually looking forward to seeing a bit of change! Hope all continues to be well with you Dyne and I will continue to look forward to future updates. Quick edit: Would also like to say I'm absolutely loving the Spencer and Darius storylines the most currently! Keep up the good work!

this will be tough haha. This must be tough for you too. I hope you're still friends !

Thank you so much for that =)

DyneWulf

Thanks so much! There is definitely a lot of stuff in the works coming, so keep an eye out for it all. We'll be working hard to bring you all some amazing work!

DyneWulf

First of all it's too bad that you and cursedmarked wont be working together any more, but if people cant understand this kind of decision well thats their loss. Personally I really appreciate both your honesty and devotion you have to both your game and us! I personly sticking till the end and I also can wait to see CaptainGerBear work to the game us well! Loved his game bastard bonds and believe it or not I still playing! I cant wait to see what the two of you wll have in store for us XD!

Xeralex

Thank you! That's the biggest thing to me :) His friendship means so much to me &lt;3

DyneWulf

Haha, I finally can prove it!

DyneWulf

Thank you!

DyneWulf

Sad to hear things haven't been good between you and CursedMarked. Hope things are better in the future. I am disappointed he's leaving the project. I liked his art. I mean his art is how I picture the characters. It's going to be strange with a new artist. Having said that, I like CaptainGerBear's work. I also like what I'm seeing in the previews, though some of the faces look a bit "off". *shrug* It is just a preview. Looking forward to seeing more!

Nickthulhu

Thank you so much for that! Things are still on course for being amazing, so we'll see how it goes!

DyneWulf

It's a big style change, for sure, and I think it'll grow on everyone ;) Thank you for the continued support!

DyneWulf

I'm sorry to hear about the differences between CM and yourself. It always sucks to have that kind of strain put on a friendship. It will be interesting to see what CGB has in store for the rest of the cast (big fan of his work, been following since the days of Chub Panda), with the somewhat more realistic style and expressions (it could just be the pose/exression, but Darius is looking a little sinister there...) Hopefully it should be a relatively painless process to change all the sprites over. Would it be feasible/agreeable to leave a selection of the current sprites in the final build in an "extras" gallery or something like that, for posterity?

Taryx

If CM and you are still friends,then its fine.Just keep the good work as always.

Chema

This is only the beginning too~ Darius's cocky face suits his character more, but we'll have plenty of new expressions~

DyneWulf

In a weird way, one of the many things I like/d about EA is that CM's style seemed to be slightly reigned in, particularly on Darius and Spencer. I will be sad that I never got the opportunity to buy a Darius daki, but obviously you had to make the correct choice for yourself and the project. I am already a fan of CaptainGerBear's work, though I will admit the preview of Darius doesn't quite live up to the (in-my-opinion) mind-blowing hotness of the current one. I agree with the posts above mentioning the happiness in the faces. Something about the men of EA has always screamed gentleman to me (yes, even the pervy lion). I hope that that feeling can be maintained. Regardless, I will definitely continue supporting you and wish you all the best with what is, presumably, tedious asset replacement.

MAddict

I'm looking forward to showing off more too. It's all looking great!

DyneWulf

This isn't going to stop me ;3 I'm still working as hard as ever!

DyneWulf

Honestly while I do like CM's art, I LOVE Gerbear's art and I've bought/played every game he's come out with, so I'm pretty happy with the end result of this. I am sorry though that you had to quit working together, but at least you're still friends.

Konran

Thank you~ I understand the feeling here, so we'll see how things go as we move forward!

DyneWulf

Thank you! Things are just fine with us :) We aren't working together, but we are still friends.

DyneWulf

We parted on a working level, and retained our friendship ;)

DyneWulf

It's gonna seem a like a whole new game! I'm looking forward to showing off more.

DyneWulf

It is sad that it happened, but the project will push on! Thank you :)

DyneWulf

So humans *do* exist in this world!

Frost Knight

Amazing, being honest art was the aspect that I most disliked about the game. Good luck!

Vernt

I opened this post expecting something far more severe, I’m sorry to hear about the differences in heart, I love gerbears work I’ve bought almost all of his games and he’s amazing. Hope this swap keeps everything on its intended path. You have my unwavering support here!

Cypher

Awe that's too bad, I'll admit from the examples Im not really a fan of the new style but that's secondary for me. I still love the writing and will continue to support the project. Keep up the good work =)

Not sure CGB's interpretation of Darius is on the mark. It's good to see the bulgy look subdued -- especially the chests, but the faces no longer have that happiness that I think sells the game.

It's sad to hear about CursedMarked leaving the project but if it was causing you both stress then it's better of this way, I'm looking forward to the art changes as well since I've been a fan of CaptainGerBear's work for a while now! Looking forward to the new looks for Spence and the coach since I'm liking what I'm seeing there with Darius, Dozer and Ches! Now if you'll excuse me I gotta go play the hell out of this update!

To be honest as much as I like cursed marks art his art was originally what turned me from the gsmr. It is so overtly fetish-y that when I first saw the game I kinda rolled my eyes tried it and just couldn't get past the first few frames, I don't think it represented your story well as when I pushed past it and gave the game a chance I fell in love, I think the new style fits your story much better to be honest. Again nothing against curses mark I love his art but it's definitely something i don't feel comfortable looking at infront if people and after falling for this games story and perspective I wanted to share it with friends always starting with convincing them it's not going to be unbearably fetish-y despite the arts portrayal. Overall I'm sorry you had to go though that but I think this will be a good change for your game.

OMG Hal's perfect lol. And Damn, That sucks about CursedMarked :/ I also love CaptainGerBear's art as well, so it's still a bonus in my book, heh. :)

It’s going to be weird suddenly having to play with a new art style, but I’m excited for it!

Oh man, I'm sad to hear that things turned out this way between you two :[ But at the same time, I'm excited to see how the project will move forward, as I'm already loving the new designs! Best of luck to ya!
