You want gore in a Saturday morning cartoon-like game? Come on... :\
Yes.

WTF? Objectively? You're gonna have to justify such a bold claim, lol.
But yeah, truly hideous:

Tell me that's pretty. Or even ok. I dare you.
As I said in my post, when zoomed out, it actually works well and looks surprisingly nice, but I have no words for those character portraits. I never thought I'd see something of this level in a game I care. Not that it made any difference in my enjoyment of the game either.
Maybe my standards are a bit high, due to previously dating someone who worked in professional animation? I dunno.
They're okay. Maybe even pretty.[images]

They're certainly not objectively ugly. To say any opinion is objective fact is just conceited.
Not really; the problem is not opinion, but quality. Perspective is very off, and doesn't follow any kind of pattern, nor brings any sense of attempt to play with the concept. The lines don't match with the way the cloth moves, and it seems to move in wildly varying ways, not presenting any kind of conformity. The shading doesn't make any sense: it doesn't portray shadows, nor the aforementioned perspective and hard lines. Colouring doesn't mesh well, screwing with perception and depth. Proportions are off.
This is not modern art. And, even if it were, it would be just bad art, as it isn't consistent at all. It is like smashing pans randomly and saying it is music. No, it is not, and that's because technique is part of what makes art, if we go through the perspective of Heidegger, which I believe is a reasonable one.
This feeling that I'm derailing the thread is kinda horrible, because I really, really liked the game, and it seems like I'm smacking it =/
But I've met many people that spent their whole lives studying and practicing drawing. Those people make a kickass job. I can't just give the same weight to what is in display here. It is unfair to people who give their blood to it and truly understand how to use the pen to represent whatever they want to represent in the best way possible.
In no way I would ever say or believe that these drawings are NOT objectively worse than anything done by, say, Elisa Kwon. Just, no.
I think someone used the word "conceited". I am forced to agree. What a bunch of pretentious nonsense. Going even as far to say that it's "unfair to real artists" to not bash the art.... WTF?
The character sprite is pretty great, really nicely animated. The portrait stuff... yeah, not so much. Still, it's a pretty great game, and one guy basically did it by himself. You kind of have to respect that.
Why isn't it on Vita?
The guy did an astounding job. The soundtrack on the last couple of levels is great *_*
The soundtrack was pretty much the only thing the lead dev had no hand in. I also never quite got to the end, yet - but I'll take your word for it.
Love it. It's a stylized transition between chapters.
Like it.
All of the anime cutscenes were started and finished within a month or so. With that in mind, I'm fine with the cutscenes, but understand why some might not be.
