God, this thread is always fun.
First, thanks Llama for this tech update, sincerily i was so use to get a update every two month that i felt weird to wait long but since he is getting a tech update i understand how important that is.
Now...
Let me give you my opinion point by point.
1. AI art.
I hate AI art, find it off putting most of the time, but i just dont understand why some posters get so much reaction, it is just used to decorate the room, its not like llama is using it to create characters or even the enviroment, they are just posters.
And yeah, please dont put an AI tag please.
2. Renders.
Here let me say this... this is a Demo, a Tech Demo at that, what is a Demo? A demostration of the work he has done in the Ui and programation of the game, what that this mean... it doesnt has to be a full product, and that is why the renders doesnt has to be that detailed, you get me right?
And this is an amazing improve.
Just to say some points:
-Better animations, you can compare the animations here with the animation in the 1st phase and you can see the difference, this one has more fps.
-The phone, that let you see the path of any character at any time, in 1st phase you has to wait to Alexa Calibration to see how the path of any character goes, and if i am not wrong it will be use to see the gallery too, and trophies, this is such a huge improvement to the first game, there is too the msn that Llama can use to get a better story.
Etc.
3. Story
I dont know why people think that we have regress with the relationships of the girls (mainly the hot squad) but No, we have not regress, at the end of the first phase the Mc is in an iteration where he is more popular and more important, more BRAVE, you can see this in the Mc profile in the phone, so this time you dont have to "get close" with them because they already like you, then what we will see in this phase two? How your "popularity" affect their lifes, get ready to see jealousy, and harem moments, instead of being a girl liking the Mc, this will be a world where every girl like the MC.
