Listening to feedback: New vs Old art

Hello, Oaklings 🪵

Thank you for all the feedback regarding the new update and the art overhaul.

Both the positive, negative and neutral. As a solo dev, the response has been overwhelming!

I'd like to quickly debunk the comment inferring that the new art is "AI generated" and that I haven't paid any artists... Nothing in the game is AI generated. The Art, the code, the translations are all done by paid human beings.

Me and the artist team have been very hard at work to recreate all the sprites, and ultimately appeal to a wider audience. However, it is important for me to acknowledge the group of OG oaklings who preferred the old asset art.

The solution: Oldschool Oaken Tower

I am making the Oldschool version of Oaken Tower available in the early access release on a separate branch. This means that you can activate that branch, and play Oldschool Oaken Tower.

Furthermore, I am adding Witch and Storm item sets to the oldschool version!

It will not have the new Perks, Steam Achievements etc.

I can not guarantee that future item sets are added to the oldschool version, but I promise you I do everything I can. I will occasionally push balance changes to the Oldschool branch as well.

I have some tower skins for the oldschool version lying around too. Those will be included in the Supporter Pack, so you can use them in the oldschool version if you decide to buy that. If you are one of those players who left a negative review because the old art was "lost forever", and this has given you new hope, I encourage you to change your review, as it has a big impact ❤️
