As I feared, this update stripped away much of the players creative freedoms. It is nice to be able to put any building anywhere, but the layouts of most of the decks being predetermined as they are is going to feel stifling to many of use very soon (I hated the whole thing since the first pics were posted). Also, the buildings beeing changed as they have been is a bit of a mixed bag. I do hope the more bondage oriented building designs get into the game for those that enjoy that motif. The artwork is good although I would prefer the freedom to decide where it goes and what it displays. Most of the messaging is counter to what I feel is ideal and I may not be alone. Alot of work ( all be it unnecessary) was put into this and it does show in the quality of some of the design work. The pleasure deck is exempt frome the previous statement however. Not friendly to customers or slaves.
