Ramen no Oujisama v1.0.8 Release Post!

Hey bro! You know, thanks for supporting us all this time, and I really appreciate you liking the "old" artstyle. As an artist, it's good to feel appreciated even if my skills aren't the best like all those artists at animation studios, or top tier ones like Sakimi-chan, so thank you! When I made all these sprites, the earlier ones from Sharkie's specs, it was about a 2-year time frame and I felt that my skills was rather lacking. While I didn't "need" to do any of the V3 sprites, I thought it'd be super cool to update them with something a little more refreshing because I thought that maybe more people would like the game if they found the sprite artwork to be better! The game will continue to migrate to the new V3 artworks, but I'll try keeping the existing V2 playable like in Sango's route, however, the V2 routes won't be updated anymore. The secret route as a V2 version? well, not exactly what I had in mind, but I can look into converting the V3 ones to V2, and eventually splitting her route at the start with a playable V2 and V3 version. The V2 version doesn't come with an MC. Now about the F/F2 option, I think these particular updates are not meant for you haha! But in case you want to try them, they're there :)

Going to be honest.. I'm.. conflicted.. it feels like this is moving away from my interests and I'm finding it difficult to keep updating the build. Maybe it's because I've been following/supporting this project for so long but I actually prefer the girls looking like they do in your banner at the top of the page. Though I'm not against the increased arm positions for better articulation through non-verbal means, the V3 sprites are not as endearing to me. I am also conflicted about having an on-screen MC as that takes away the "self-insert fan fiction" aspect of the MC being me; albeit a younger version of me, as I imagine it. With MC sprites included, now it feels like I'll be watching it unfold as opposed to being involved, if that makes sense. I think I understand why you added them as it's the same reason you now have the "F2" options but that whole weird trend, that seems to have come from nowhere, is not what I'm interested in at all. No judgment against anyone who is interested in that (you do you), but I will never use the F2 options and prefer the pre-V3 sprites and lack of MC sprites so what would I be missing, story-wise, if I were to just keep to a previous build? Is there a specific build where I can have everything up to the secret route completed but not have any of this new stuff? Or are we past the point of no return?

Woo!

;) ;)

;) Notice the eyebrows on characters that have long bangs this time around and see if you like it better being able to notice them easier or not.

yay for coming home from horribly wrong day.... to find a ray of happiness.

Great Job Paper, BeerBrew, Sharkie
