Vs Rabi Ribi

[Villain]

Aesthetically it's very well done but I wish it were closer in line with Rabi Ribi. I don't particularly care for how the mc and a few other characters look. Is the splash of characters in the first few seconds of the trailer all the characters you have to look forward to?

[Villain]

Who's the artist of Rabi Ribi anyway? I'd love to see if maybe they worked on stuff later

[Sukaiba]

I'm not sure what are you getting at

The pixel art is CONSIDERABLY better than Rabi-Ribi's, the dialogue stills have a lot more variants and is not like base Rabi-Ribi had that many splash shots besides the main menu, game pause and a handful of story CGs

[Villain]

Ohhh I just looked into it. Yeah I'm not into Ein Lee's art. I thought it looked kinda familiar

Should have got Sayori or Tsunako instead.

oh huh, that'd be neat. It's too late now though. Different audiences I guess. I'm looking forward to what Love Bunny turns out like c:

Not a huge fan of Sayori's, granted my only exposure has been Nekopara but I think its way too detailed for this kind of game

Tsunako though, I'd L O V E to see that

Yeah, the character art is pretty bad. Shame it's so much worse than the last game.

What people forget is in Rabi-Ribi every single character was a half-naked loli, which was a huge turn-off to anyone who's not a greasy weeb. There were so many complaints about it on pretty much every gaming website that talked about the game. So many people wanted to play the game but couldn't do it without being judged by their friends/family, so they never did.

With this context outlined, it should be pretty obvious why TEVI went for a much less controversial art style. Yeah, it's a pretty generic anime art style, but it's not offensive and won't tank the game's reputation.

Both, both is good. But ultimately I prefer gameplay.

But I would HATE if people were "don't like Einlee's art, unplayable". Please please please don't stoop to the level of those that initially dismissed Rabi-Ribi because of Saiste's designs.

I dont really like the main character's design but everyone else is fine if not more than what I expected.

That's an exaggeration, and yeah I do agree that Tevi will appeal to a broader audience, but as a consumer I don't particularly inherently prioritize a larger playerbase or accessibility. I like more niche stuff anyway.

I think I will until a more substantial sale, complete edition (dlc for rabi took a while to release, or mods for the portraits. The CG art looks pretty good imo. A bunch of the character portraits or designs I'm not a fan of though. Some not entirely, just a few artistic decisions I disagree with.

[CLG]

The face portraits are what I don't like about the art in Tevi. Character designs are whatever from what I've seen.

[Villain]

I'm looking forward to later level design. I'm optimistic there's cool stuff to come

[hiniature]

look up love bunny, its the real sequel thats still in development

[Old_Albert]

I love Rabi but it's a mess art-wise. Everything in a different style, chraracters all have the same face, just different hair and clothes (both pixel art and dialogue art). Tevi's characters at the very least looks like i would not confuse them between each other and pixel-art looks actually professional now.

It doesn't make it a better game tho, so we'll see. But even if it's worse then Rabi overall - i can't see it being actually bad, at worse i expect weaker but still overall good game.

I wonder how big it is? Because Rabi had like a giant amounts of bosses, it's like 40+ or something. What's this game's scale i wonder? And is there some post-game or such? I heard demo had some sort of "expert+", is it like Dark Souls NG+ with auto-scalling stats or actuall new attacks for bosses?
