It's nice to see Rhot get more relationship content.
I hope Top Logan and Korg do too.

It is. That's why My initial comparison is NOT about "Which one is better", but "how much work is done in the similar time-frame."
(Also if you are really on it, it's not just "Different art-style bias", ZoroJ's arts are objectively better)
And there's no denying the current partnership is much better, just like I said.
In fact it's a "Live and Learn" situation where Hyao gained so much experience over the years, knows much better how to handle the project, overcoming hardship.
(If what the other said is true, ZoroJ never committed to LD, so his leaving is to be expected)
Thing is, you can not stop people from comparing, especially ZoroJ fans. It just doesn't matter (to anyone else).
Also I don't think they need to replace old arts. The style is similar enough, and there are only a few of them that're out of place.
I did have Mega but after using so many uses, It asked for a payment. I had to switch to something that was free. I could try gofile next time <3
Sorry about that I fixed it, let me know if it stills going to mac.

In this case I'd actually say Hyao is in the wrong due to a couple of facts, some of the characters in LD actually belong to ZoroJ as they were created prior to LD; Korg/Booner/Bernard (Only know because I have previous art) so I believe they were/are genuine friends because it's be pretty poor form if his using them now without permission

Sorry but what he is in wrong here? From what I understan ZoroJ left on his own accord and decided not explain reasoning behind it, so either originaly he was invested in the game in the begining so he was thrilled to have his character to be in the game and overtime either understood that he cant handle the pressure of being artist for the game since he cant draw what he specificaly prefer or simply lost interest, there is nothing wrong to have someone character to be part in the game as long as they agree that the only thing they provide is the visual but the lore of that character and personality can be different

This is another reason They should Not replace old arts.
No matter how much or how little ZoroJ was invested in the game, He is still part of Lustful Desires, in fact he helped established the Identity of the game.
You don't just replace a game for what it is.
That's why Hyao was very careful of using new artist, not only to avoid the old mistake of "mercenary commission", but to make sure the game is still the same: New artists need to be invested in the project, meanwhile respect the original source.
What are you on about? This game is always about Muscular / Chubby body type. This is a Bara game.
Oh Im not saying that he should change it, its already to late for that, thankfully StanG is the one that actualy editing ZoroJ sprites and preserving original his original style, examples are Maskless Tank, Orc wrestling sprites, nude Korg, Everett new emotes and etc., instead of complitely making new one that might have big difference from original.
The complete overhaul of old stuff are helps for a new artist to have less comparison with old ones since new coming pople will see only new stuff and wouldnt know about old one and wouldnt be camparing and overtime it would die down.
Something that heppened for ExAc where people initialy were complaining about Ger being new artist but overtime moved on, and it was the best choice for VN since it become alot better and production quality rose up since artist were incredibly invested in the game. So I hope that not sprite replacement but game itself will get alot more quality content and visuals to acompany it since the team would be more invested in the project and not just Hyao and Virile. But from the last few update I already see rise in the quality, like Virile content with Maul and Barrel, like Brimscorch Black Wolf content, upcoming Croc village with new NPC that actualy look realy good since Naram actualy drew them in his own style instead of trying to mimic ZoroJ style like it was with Furry island part, so it deffinitely coming together for better

You can not stop people from comparing, nor stop them dis-engage because of it.
But when I said "It doesn't matter", it means "It doesn't matter": no need to worry about them, no need to make any decision based on them, they are not your concern anymore.
Quantity does Not Equal Quality.
You can't simply say "Oh they are producing contents quicker so it's better", "Oh there are more artist drawing so it's better." That's not why LD is getting better. What LD achieved at this stage is not as simple as that.
They live and learn and making good choices along the way, from multiple-front. Like working as a team that everyone is committed, like letting Narram draw what he's good at, like letting StanG inspire the team in his own way, like only using people who respect the source / the origin, like not doing commission based arts, like using different writer but not just "Guest writer who only want to self-insert", etc.
To be fair, there are still quite some fumbles, but it seems they are learning from it.
It's not because "it's too late" that they shouldn't change the arts. It's never too late to make correction, IF there's correction needed. ZoroJ's arts are not "mistakes" that needs "Correction".
Not sure what's the production value of old ExAc under CM, But Pretty sure they didn't willingly change the artist because "it's for the better". That's a different situation from LD.
