No, I will not be maintaining the sprites where all the characters still looked like children. Maintaining 2 sets of sprites will also become a nightmare now that there are more new sprite expressions than old ones. There were some old sprites expressions (especially on Owen) that I actively avoided using because the art was so off-model. I spent months overhauling the 200+ sprites of Repeat and I will not drop them simply because a handful of people dislike the change.
And if you actually played through the game, you would know that half the koala jokes are still in there. Please actually give the changes an honest chance instead of dismissing them outright. You have no idea how demoralizing it is to work months on the overhaul only to be spammed with messages like these. I have half the mind to just drop Repeat and go back to working on Temptation's Ballad on my worst days.
