These were made by a personal friend of mine, Tiny. Unfortunately they don't have time to help out with much else and did these in their free time and I'm eternally grateful for the help they provided.

The art done for these were done by myself, fairly quickly I realized I wont be able to afford to completely redo all the art in the short term. I'm painting very simple versions that try to keep to the theme I originally wanted. I want to stress I'm not an artist so the art for these backgrounds are not going to be amazing. In the future I want to hopefully either commission brand new background or just touch up what I've done.
Lost Legend Locations 6-8 are not AI and are older art my brother had made in the past.
Fixed 2 locations with miss aligned backgrounds.
Enabled Texture Compression to reduce file size.
Abyss
Lunite
Emberite
These will most likely be updated again in the future.
World Map
Cutscenes
Removed the world map as it wasn't expressive enough to show the path the player would take in the world properly like the original. I decided to just remove it as it served no real purpose other than to try and fit the classic style. Instead it's been replaced with a simple preview of the next location the player will be going to.
I personally have disliked the cutscene assets the most. It's confusing to players and just didn't look good. These were almost done as the last step before Lost Legends release and I put pressure onto myself to match the classic style cutscenes.
For now the cutscenes are just going to be text on a black background. There is a chance I just completely remove them from the game and put the focus just on the stories of each location instead of the overall arching story I attempted to do.
Most likely in the next update we'll be increasing the price of the DLC. The amount isn't decided yet but it'll be a rough estimate for the amount of art that has been replaced. For instance if the amount of art that's been replaced is around 50% done the price will be increased to $11.99.
Once all of the art has been replaced the price of the game will be $14.99.
This is the first update for updating the AI art with new assets and I'm really happy with the pet art! I personally feel it matches the classic style of pets much closer than what I had done and can't wait to see the rest completed!
The art that I've done or chosen to use from assets I own will most likely all be replaced or touched up in the future. My main goal is to replace the AI art with my own drawn stuff for the short term. Then more professionally done versions later.
I've also added some festive themes for Christmas (these can be turned off in the toggle settings). And I want to give out a heartfelt Thank You to everyone who's supported us! Happy Holidays!
