Ayua, at least on this particular render, now looks 10 years older than Nojiko. :unsure:

I think it may have something to do with the sharp lines around her mouth and the more prominent chin (possibly her neck, too)


On the other two new renders she looks younger without these lines and with softer, rounder features of the lower part of her face.

Basically, that's what has happened to every character after the rework.

Every character was lively, more intense and wittier and/or edgier.

The whole story and the characters have mellowed down into a more somber and melancholic atmosphere.
I just hope he didn't ruin Bella! Bella was the most gorgeous LI of any VN that I've ever seen. If he ruined her I'm gonna be pissed.

Ocean always knows what he's doing. So clearly Ayua from 17 years in the future somehow got her hands on a time machine and went back to kill and replace her younger self. Goddamn what a truly complex narrative we got here. Can't wait for the reveal!
She must be from an alternate universe future though, cause if she was from this universe she'd be hitting the Grandfather Paradox and the universe would implode!

But damn, yeah, that's definitely a woman in her late 30s. Only someone in her late prime would have the head that size, plus the features and skin. The original was definitely closer to looking 19.

Probably seeing how to make the art better, but also I assume to be able to sell the product to companies like steam. Visually it is beautiful.

I guess you didn't played earlier versions, therefore you didn't understand that I was pointing out that even though the storyline is the same - more or less - dialogues and characters' behaviour changed: the whole game atmosphere is quite different now.

Earlier Bella was quite different, too.

Current rework is the first I played. Do you perhaps have images of the original Bella?
Honestly, physically she's pretty much what I consider ideal/perfect woman to be so I'm pretty happy with how she looks now. Hope he doesn't try to "make her more realistic" in the future, like he'd done with the asian girl or how the devs did with Lara Croft where she went from a sex bomb to a plain looking girl that wouldn't turn a head even once lol. It never turns out good.


Damn. :love::love::love::love::love::love: I love everything about her, but double damn for that delicious pout and her penetrating eyes.

Is understanding how to get a romance going with a certain character something that a dev intends? If I'm making a save for each girl, I'd like to know which choices are relevant without having to trial and error my way through it. My time is more valuable than that and a WT is simply a convenience. Nothing that you're saying justifies why the dev would make it deliberately more difficult to, optionally, streamline their playthrough. Dev's shouldn't get to decide how a player plays their game.
I think a walkthrough has its place for those who are here to enjoy SG but they don't want to experiment with different choices/a variety of paths.

There may, however, be good reasons where Ocean intentionally makes some of the coding obscure.

I really enjoy the Bella/MC romance.

I also realize that Ocean will begin to add to the background of more of the women, making some of them more appealing, just like he did with Zara.

I'm not going to boycott SG once Bella has less 'screen time' than some of the other LI's.

I've enjoyed Ocean's character reveals and I have every reason to believe that I will continue to enjoy his world/character-building.

I'm going to let Ocean tell this story his way and enjoy the ride.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Regular scenes with Bella were OK but her manically lough was scary, really scary. But new improved Bella is a beauty. Her mother had similar transformation, new Amber is just breathtaking.
I suppose that Bella was like the old "Nika" or worse? That laught is really scary...
I know Bella like a person with problems, behaving like a Bully, she was like that too in the old version? Or more like a completely psicopath?
