I really love the story and where you guys are taking this. It’s really good and getting more Adastra content is the best. I love that you guys can make such gripping stories based off of one we already know full and well, and still get us so into it despite not all of the characters being there.
With that said, tho, the sudden change to the sprites are, I think what a lot of people agree with, quite disconcerting. The art style change itself isn’t too bad and takes getting used to, but some of the creative decisions are almost off base. The biggest being Amicus and his belly. From a story standpoint of him losing weight, sure, but the Echo team and Haps himself are no stranger to bigger furs being represented and drawn. We live in a world where chubbiness is demonized and taking Amicus’s belly away doesn’t really help with the lack of representation. Not sure whose decision it was, but it definitely feels very jarring when this character has been drawn fatter in the past, and the writing itself acknowledges that. This story is less of a “dating” VN so it’s more excusable, but we still want the belly!
Truly, despite some of the changes, I can’t wait to see more and everything you guys do with this and other projects like Interea.
