Unfortunately, the current artist can't work on the game anymore
he just emailed me with his reasons.
Anyway, he already made the main cast, so the current plan for now is use PSCD artist to do all the romance CGs: so at least those are done! Even if the art style is different, is common in games to have the CG done by a different artist (see SOTW for example).
Then after all the romance CGs are done, we'll see if to redo the main cast as well, or try keeping the existing art. Is a pity because I really liked his style, but even PSCD artist is quite good, so at least it's not all bad news!

It's unfortunate that the original artist could stay for the entire project. As long as the clash of styles isn't so jarring, you can still use your old art assets.

Luckily PSCD artist has a painted style too. But as said I'll have him first do all the romance CG, which are a LOT (there are 2 variants for each one!!). And meanwhile will think what to do, since doing those will keep him busy for at least 2-3 months. The previous artist had some issues that prevented him from working as fast as needed, but maybe while the new one finishes the romance CG, he could finish the remaining secondary characters, this way nothing would be really lost, just a different artist for the romance CG which is very common

I actually wasn't crazy about the original Roger Steel art, but I AM of Dennis' art so this makes me happy.

I'll post some images in the coming months. There are some characters that turned out really well, and in particular those looking for "tougher males" won't be disappointed

Sad to hear that the artist had to go, was really looking forward to this game. Well there are a few other games that I am still eagerly waiting for with baited breath.

Well, wait to see the art first. Dennis this time used a mix of painted like PSCD but with lineart. The result is quite good I think

Lol that art already looks better than the original.

Oh, I'm sure that when I'll post the finished character images, a good amount of people will say that old artist was better
As always when dealing with tastes, it's impossible to make everyone happy. One thing is sure though, maybe previous artist faces were more cute/interesting but the outfits... definitely not steampunkish. Instead the new one did some super-detailed steampunk outfits!
The game won't be out this year for the simple fact that I cannot code more than 1 RPG a year, to avoid becoming a madman

Then stop coming Queen of Thieves and start coding Roger Steel!

Lol I don't think, considering that QoT has the writing basically done, almost all art, etc. I know you were joking anyway

my personal problem with PSCD art is that everyone looks like they are above 40-50 and plastic. well,CG was good,but sprites...ugh...
you can look at Kisses and Curses.it has fantastic art and the story is also good,but microtransaction(it was from android after all) is ugh...it was beyond retarded.
plus always online DRM was laughable...like rly ??? PHONE GAME THAT CAN BE PLAYED ONLY AT HOME ??? :DDD

We're trying a new artist which seems good. However before posting anything we need to do more experiments
That game you mention uses some very questionable system! lol

So I have the main cast redone by the new artist. It's still a bit "painted" but definitely not realistic or similar to PSCD style.
I think will probably post some previews here to see what people think. Some characters, like Roger Steel himself, MUST look older, since ... they're older (by older I mean late 30 or even 40 years old, not like the young manga characters).
I think the females turned all good, for the males, some better than others, but at least body proportions etc are fine

Can't wait! Hope to see some images soon, when you get the time to post them!

This is Ann (main female protagonist), and I think artist did a great job. Good body proportions and very cute face
Also not exaggeratly big boobs (though there are some who have them haha).
