Who wrote the blog post, anyway? Pimmy?

It's too nice!

I come here after being away for a bit, and what do I find? Quite the wonderful surprise. Admittedly, when I saw the circled download button, I thought that the full game might have somehow come out though. Oh well, ver. 3 is still good.

I'll wait for full. Save my bandwith for the glorious day!

Heh, saw a rumour on the chan of 4 that you (Being's the devs) planned to have the full thing out by May's end. Foolish rumours!

So... the new sprites are in there, eh? I never thought I'd say this but...

I'm going straight for the Emi route!

Oh yeah, you can believe everything you see on 4chan.
They create rumors in the same way an infinite number of monkeys pounding away on typewriters for an infinite amount of time will eventually get you the complete works of Billy Shakespeare. Maybe we'll get lucky on the gazillion to one shot, but I won't count on it till I see it on the Dev Blog for DL.

Once you go Emi, you will never go back.....

Well done devs on act 1 v.3 ... hopefully we will all see the awesome day of the full KS release!!

I posit that the devs can actually be nice when they have a venue beyond the general retardedness of the forums to do it in.

I do like the change to Lilly's eyes, and it speaks to the strength of her character design that she's still totally gorgeous even with slightly "deader" eyes. They still didn't fix that line on her wrist, though.

Also, I can say confidently now that I've seen it in action that Yuuko's makeover was a total success. She's just so cute and awkward! I like Emi's too, but it'll take a little longer to get used to.

Well, I think they shoulda just recommend old players to try out as well with all these awesome new stuff going on. The only sad thing is, I was DLing v2 like, 7 hours ago? 5am in the morning? What bad luck... -_-"

I'm definitely a fan of the updates to the soundtrack. "Ah Eh I Oh You" is not only improved in terms of the sound, but blends in with the rest of the soundtrack better, which was my biggest complaint with the track before. "Out of the Loop" and "Student Council" were improved as well - the instrument change on the melody in "Out of the Loop" reminds me of the openings to old sci-fi shows. Welcome to The Kenji Zone.

My biggest problem in critiquing the changes, though is that it's been so long since I played v1, so some of the things I noticed may be simply imagined by me. Was there always a different painting on the second floor than Rainbow Wizard? Did I manage to forget the "phone trauma" bit with Kenji? Heck if I remember.

Lovin' the new intro cg for Emi(pimmy?)

Her poplarity with me has improved for the first time since the sprite change was announced.

edit: Nu-Yuuko has also grown on me after seeing all her facial expressions.

From what I've been seeing on 4chan, its almost unanimous that the new Emi is better then the old one. Same goes for Yuuko. Looks like the change in design for them really paid off.

Holy mother of God!
V. 3!
DLing at once

Okay, there is maybe one tiny thing that seems off about the new Emi sprites - her eyes. Her eyelashes, specifically. They seem kind of... sketchy, I guess, compared to the more solid black lines of the other girls'. It's not just me, right? Otherwise, though, she's looking quite smashing.

I'm glad to see that v3 will have all of the new sprites. The quality of the old sprites was actually one of the few weaknesses of the game. So now that it's fixed, I think that it's gotten a lot better
