I bet it's cheaper or maybe they lost old drawing talent, sadly. Yeah I worked with 3D Animation for a few years back in high school so that makes me even more peculiar about the technical aspects. Most of it is just funny looking to me. Or some artists try to go for realism instead, while the anime style just doesn't look right. I'm sure someday it can look great, but I still think we're a ways off and I'll always have a preference for 2D with hentai and anime.
Yeah they used to make decent hardcore titles (not masterpieces but still serviceable), but now they are taking some of their existing games and remaking them in 3D which makes me think of a switch in their direction... or maybe it's just a side project of them that won't impact future games?
Hopefully this doesn't become a trend with other developers
They seem to always do it eventually, there is sites and people that specialize in extracting CGs and other assets, too bad they don't do editing tools because it would take too much work...
Man, I can't believe Dieselmine is remaking their games with 3d CGs, can't they see how much worse they look than normal 2d CGs?!
