I just asked the admins if I could start a thread dedicated to the project's progress or take over this one.
In the meantime, here are a few reworked characters.

@ Dark games Maybe make your Development Thread in the Development Area.. The only thread area currently suiting for it I think would be Future Projects. Future Projects
Once you create the thread post it here and contact a Mod or use the Report button to request that location be added to the OP for discussion..

It's always sad when a game gets abandoned, especially ones that promised so much. But it really warms the heart when developers pick up these abandoned projects and continue them.

No disrespect to Ketzal, I loved all of the content he put out but I think I like this version of Marie a little bit more.

People were making deep fakes of real underage people and using them to conduct harassment. Fuck off with that opinion, we don't need AI doing stupid bullshit like that.

Following your line of reasoning the law should go after the Ford Motor Company because Timothy McVeigh used a Ford vehicle in his bomb attack in Oklahoma
The law should punish the perpetrator of the crime, not the tool or the maker of the tool he used.

I agree with BadJM, I really like how your Marie looks more like her stated age now.

 

[internate]

Ain't nothing surprising about it! You will get the support because people love EGBE! Also, if you're looking for an AI animations guy I can connect you with someone. I know for a fact he would 100% be happy to help you with that

I still have some of the old animations from the discord server before it got nuked. i wish i had the final build, but now i dont even need it. I hope DG can live up to Ketzals legacy

The news of this coming back just made my week

 

[LoveAVN4ever]

Played the old version for a quick minute to get myself psyched for the eventual release of the return. So pumped

 

[Dark Games]

A new beginning.

sounds extremely odd to me !!

I'm thinking more on the conspiracy theory side of things & no, I'm not saying it was aliens !

It was sold to him. Everything is now under DG's ownership

Shouldn't be difficult. We didn't get much of the original game. So as long as we get similar to before we should be golden

I'm REALLY sensitive to people's writing styles, so if it's too different, it'll feel off to me. I even opened the game files and read K's original drafts of unreleased chapters in French, so I'm super familiar with how he writes both before and after translation. Dark Games seems to be doing a good job with the lighting and textures; we'll see if the perspective and camera angles line up as well. K did a really good job of using space, centering or decentering subjects as needed, and using focus to drive attention. I know most people don't care about that shit, but all of this is part of why K is one of the best in this space.

Do you ever see games where the dev just plops the characters in the middle of every frame, or situates them equidistant from each other? Where the shadows seem off due to a bad angle or poor light sourcing? Where the color palette seems to change from scene-to-scene due to inconsistent lighting? Even in games with high-quality renders, sometimes people just don't pay enough attention to things like that. I appreciate the minutiae and attention K pours into his work, as well as his unique style and voice, and any deviation from that--whether on the visual or rhetorical front--will be highly noticeable.

Well I don't think that people are really going to be focused so much on that. Like I said, there wasn't a lot released of EGBE originally. And also I don't think the majority of the fans are as artistically tuned to things as you are, so I don't think it will be that noticeable to everyone who plays the revival. I personally am just glad to have the game back even if Aldor/Ketzal is not the one doing it

First of all, before people start seeing little gray men, or green ones, or whatever, there’s no conspiracy, but believe what you will.
I haven’t even released anything yet, and the criticism has already started. I totally understand why he stopped…
Anyway, as I’ve already said, I’m going to release what already exists along with something new at the same time. Judge what I’ll deliver, not what I might or might not do.
As for Ketzal’s “voice”… I don’t write like him, that’s true, but we’ll see if you like it or not.
