MA Art Style CG Finalized! (Patreon)

Before we begin today's big post! This is related to a big post made months ago about new art style changes coming to MA for cg and sprite art. I highly suggest you check these posts out prior to this one.

The summary for this post is that early in the year, we had made the decision to adjust the art style for the game as a whole. Our first announcement shared a ton of art to show how this would look, but we took in feedback and applied adjustments to ensure the differences between the sprite art and cg art aren't as dramatic.

Today's previews in this post will showcase what the finalized cg art looks like for the game! ^^ Some previews will showcase bigger differences than others, but the main finalized area to look at would be with the faces. 

We realized the cg art in the new style was looking good, but there was still something about how it looked vs the sprite art that just seemed "off". I noticed that changes made to the eyes to reflect how the eyes look on the sprites seemed to be the big disconnect. Besides this, there's corrections to face/head shapes to make sure they feel closer to what we're used to seeing through the game with sprite art.

With this said, lets dive into it! I'll shush for the most part.

I forgot to mention, but diapers were updated as well! You can see the frilly look on the left is how diapers looked before in cg art. Now.. We've adjusted it to feel a bit more like normal diapers, at least being spot on with how diapers look in MA with sprite art references.

This example mainly shows what a difference in eyes, nose and face shape can do for Rachel. The finalized version when seen next to Rachel's sprite will feel much closer to how she actually appears.

Again, diaper updated and this one showing the backside! This is a bigger difference as it's taking the original cg art from before the art style announcement and comparing it to the finalized look instead. This really shows how big of a difference the style has changed.

Miki's face, mouth, nose and eyes, even her hair was adjusted to feel closer to her sprite art in the finalized version. 

(We also knew people had mentioned before, that this cg scene felt like Miki looked much younger in her face than she really is. We didn't even have to worry too much about this, because once we updated the art in general for Miki, it was clear that this wouldn't be a problem. :P )

Here's a minor comparison, mainly the only change here is with Nova's eyes and face shape to reflect her sprite art better. 

Again, not a major difference seen here. Mainly just light adjustments to her face to be closer to her sprite art. This might be a better example when seeing how Nova's sprite art eyelashes look and seeing how the cg art captures that in the finalized version.

Back to big changes! Here we have Rachel seen on the left before the whole art style announcement even took place. Compare that to the finalized version, where we can see a good bit of changes were made. Even the background received some improvements, if you look at the desk for example.

I think this finalized cg for Rachel helps showcase a better idea of how close it looks to her sprite art. That's just because there's less going on though with her not being dressed up and at night time. :P

Here's a more minor difference for Juliet. Back to showing what we showed off months ago on the left for Juliet vs the finalized version showcased today. Her diaper has been adjusted and her face too, mainly the eyes.

This one would be a minor difference, but clearly Nurse Bell has a diaper on now! :O

If you're curious why that is, we're making some light quality fixes to the early parts of the game and one of these is with the academy rules. Mainly the diaper wearing rules apply to everyone at the school to keep it simple.

(Expect some fun out of that!)

Another smaller difference. Heather's diaper being updated and her face shape and eyes, nose are fixed to feel closer to her sprite art.

Our last preview! Yet another minor change, mainly the only change here is Zoey's eyes being closer to her sprite art. ^^" 

I wanted to share how the finalized cg art was coming along for MA, so I thought a big post like this would be fitting to showcase the differences that's been made along the way to where we stand today on the art. 

There's some previews I'd like to share in another post a bit later on that feature some new outcomes to existing moments in-game. Just for example... Towards the end of Episode 1, when you're given the choice to tickle Miki or Erika, each choice resulting in one of the two girls peeing themselves and how that affects which version of Miki's cg afterwards is seen too. These scenes are receiving messy outcomes!

We can't do this with every cg scene naturally, but where accidents are present. We've been trying to offer players the choice in what happens. So, with that example above. There will be options that are fitting to fit players enjoyment.

My idea with applying this to existing and new cg art, along with some sprite visuals at times for how things pan out, is that if there's accidents forced upon the player. Messy outcomes isn't for everyone and so there should be options for players to at least have a accident lean towards a wet outcome vs a messy one.

To keep it simple.. ^^" Any accident cg art that exists that is only messy will also have a wet outcome option and any accident art that is only a wet outcome should also have a messy outcome for those who prefer that. The idea is, if you can't handle the messy outcomes with accidents.. You can at least lean towards a wet outcome visually at worse, which seems more accessible for people than the other option.

Anyways! I hope you all enjoy today's previews! ^^ To make up for lack of posts this week, we're going to toss out another post this weekend!
