Early Access Bonus Round (New Sprite Test) - 1.1302.1
Added 2019-07-21 20:23:25 +0000 UTCSo, when I mentioned yesterday that I hoped we'd start seeing commissioned art appearing? That time has already come!
A couple weeks ago I put word out that I was looking for an artist to revamp the 10-year-old DLSite sprites I've been using, with a view to then getting some CGs done. An initial version of Nozomi's sprite was submitted today and I've gone ahead and put her in the game to see how she looks. And hey, I thought you'd be interested as well ^^
If you get the new releases below, start a new game and you'll get an option to pick between old and new sprites where they exist. Select the latter option and you'll see Nozomi's new sprite.
As you'll see, her design hasn't changed much from her original incarnation. Despite being the "main girl" Nozomi was always meant to be kind of ordinary despite Kyou's unhealthy obsession over her, so besides the minor shift in art style she's had a haircut and new glasses and that's about it.
I'm really interested to know what people think of her!
EDIT - Updated this release since yesterday to fix a few bugs that came from adding the new sprite, plus some other things I picked up on during testing. Also added a Mac version since this will likely be the one I release to the public next month.

- Fixed a few text and display bugs that occurred during the consensual route
Comments
Thanks for the feedback! I love her new hair myself, but still in two minds about her glasses. Gotta make a decision on that soon ^^; And yes, I want to have the old sprites selectable at least until the new ones are all in there, but I could look into keeping them around afterwards if people really do want them.
