Visual Style Change? Adding new effects!

Recently, there was a big change to how Netherguild looks!!
I added an Ambient Occlusion effect (which basically makes corners a bit darker and nicer) in most places as well as a Depth of Field effect (which makes things that are "out of focus" blurry) in some places.

For comparison, this is how the main menu looked before:



Quite the big change!

Of course, these new effects are 100% optional and can be disabled in the main menu settings.
(they're also disabled by default on the lowest graphical settings but you can enable them in the options)



What do you think? Do you like the new change or not? Would you play with it on or off?
Do you think it looks nicer, or do you feel like it's not true to the colorful visual style of beforehand?

I'd love to hear your opinions! (:
If you're unsure, you can also try it out in the current demo on the Steam page.

I figured that if a game I played had a significant visual change like this, I'd probably like to know - hence the reason for this post.



Oh yeah, I also recently added a big patch to the demo that re-balanced (read as: buffed) almost all the loot and added some new game mechanics to attacks. Equipment you find in chests and in the armory is extremely fun now and actually makes you think about builds and combos!

And that's all for this update, thank you for checking it out! (:
