Jazz Comparison - (Spoiler / Teaser) #1 (Patreon)

What’s going on with the Redux update?

Well, avast number of the images and animations for the planned newcontent are actually all ready to go. There’s still a number of remade elements that need to be done as well, and that will take some time to finalize, but things are progressing nicely. Again, we’re sorry you all are waiting this long, but believe me when I say the final result will be worth it. Now it's just a question of when do we get everything we’ve made put together, set up, play tested and playable for you all. More to know in the future.

In the meantime, we have decided to revisit a number of older scenes to improve the quality as much as possible. One of those examples is shown in the picture above.

Since we have to redraw the backgrounds on a number of still portraits as well as animations that are used in those scenes,we've planned on redrawing those characters as well.

You might be wondering whyJazz’s face looks so different compared to how it originally looked in the OG portrait version. Simply put, because we think it looks better this way.

We have shown you some example shots in a previous post to introduce this new art style that is going to be seen in the Reduxand a lot of you have seemedto really like it. A more appealing to the eye visual style is being implemented in so much of this game, and going into the future. We’ve learned how and when it’s best to veer off model of the original source material to make the characters more appealing.

Unfortunately, it simply won't be possible to reanimate and re-draw every scene in this new art style. This would be far too much work for us to handle. But we hope you do appreciate the improvement in quality nonetheless, and I think you’ll see how much work had to be done in the end.

That's it for now. Just a short statement of what's been currently worked on. Take care and wash your hands.

Sincerely,

-GZone & Team Bieno
