Overall, I really liked it. I know we will have to wait for a while before this resolves, but it definitely doesn't make it any easier to deal with. T-T

Not me already waiting for another Bjørn update. I know the homies need to finish up the rest of Day Three for everyone, but It's just so gooooood. I will be patient, but barely...
Side note for those who have played Bjørns route, I'm curious...

Do you tell Bjørn that you think he's cute on the first night or do you choose one of the two other options? Why?
Lol, yeah...
Though, I will say... I'm pretty happy with how Mikko's stuff resolves in the other routes so far. He seems to finally get some peace, and they become friends without the baggage. Good shiz.

Except for torulfs route, but that's mostly because arvo gets manipulated by that sick bastard into becoming someone he's not.
We don't really know... Homie has been real quiet for a while now. I'm genuinely concerned that something happened to them physically which has prevented them from updating, responding, or tweeting anything since about June of last year. So, pray for them, I guess, if you're into that sort of thing and hope that they're okay if not.
Fantastic job, Branny! I was interested to see how well you kept the tone of the story, and I am happy to say I think it was perfectly in line with the rest of the writing with an added touch of a different flavor of humor and richness. So, good job maintaining the tone while adding your own flare.
Now into the story...

Don't know about you guys, but I chose to take things slow. It just felt too much like a torulf situation to go with the banging right out the gate.
There's a a little bit of nudity sprinkled throughout the game, but not in an inappropriate way.
There's a little cussing. Not bad at all though.
STAY AWAY FROM TORULF IF YOURE TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM NSFW. You do have the ability to turn off the nsfw scenes, but torulf is a bad dude to begin with
Overall, I would say this game is safe if a little dense with thematic existentialism and nihilism in some ways. It really encapsulates the power of connection. In a bleak setting.
They are certainly different. Not enormously so, though. Changes to the body were expected, at least for those two. They're supposed to be ridiculously fit, and I think that is displayed.
Their faces are a tad different than before.
They are about what I expected for those two.
My ambivalence seems to be holding steady as of now... I shall withhold my opinion until the release of the bear and the twink squadron.
The only thing I can think to complain about is the fact that the connection of the pectoralis muscle on rune looks a little too high from top to bottom. Both his deltoid and pec should be farther down than they are.
I understand your sentiment, but I suppose I'm indifferent about the matter. Now, if the designs were wretchedly horrid, I think I would have a problem with it, but...
I guess it comes down to differing opinions about the community's say in how things shape up. I know that you feel these new designs betray, in some ways, what you feel was the original feel or spirit of the character. You have spoken rather strongly about the fact that the community has a right to lobby their thoughts on the designs, and while I agree that when releasing a product for any given group it is important to keep in mind their feelings, I don't think it's a necessity to conform to them if the artist feels so inclined. That does nothing to change the consequences of considering or not considering their fan base.
So, while I can certainly understand where you're coming from, I'm not sure I fully support your position. Not that you're wrong, mind you, just that I feel differently. I can't find it in myself to feel anything but ambivalence towards the ordeal because from my perspective, it's not my art, and therefore, not my choice.
Though, as previously stated, this is all based on abstract due to the fact that I am not a patreon member and have not seen the designs myself.
I'm definitely interested to see what you're seeing just to try and better understand where you're coming from, so we'll have to wait with anticipation for the day they are unveiled.
As always, I'll be here to debate and deliberate.
