Very awesome that they took all that feedback to heart. Game's lookin fantastic now and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Interesting that they even presented some of the more vitriolic criticisms.

What's funny is that the old look was the look that was chosen by the Kickstarter backers.

IGA and his team presented 4 possible shaders back in the early days of the campaign, and the backers chose what you've seen up until now.

Holy hell what an improvement

There wasn't really anything inherently wrong with the shader in the context it was shown in, which was just Miriam side by sides as far as I can tell, and was mostly a guideline on how to handle character models on whether or not to go for a more cel-shaded look. As you can tell by the trailer and most of the pre-release footage the problem was with the lighting of the rest of the game. The new overhaul is definitely needed and appreciated but I don't think that the problem was with that shader itself per say.
