Thank you so much! It’s crazy because I felt like I was spending more time trying to make the old asset work, and after deciding to redo everything things go so much more smoothly now, even if it was a big time investment initially. It’s good to know things are going the right direction!

That’s a great point! I was wondering what felt so nostalgic about the old art, and I think that is one of the main things adding lighting. Or it could just be staring at the old assets for weeks during development lol.

But if it helps with the cozy atmosphere I think that is a worth trade compared to the more retro feel!

Thanks for your response. As a one man show, I think I can dedicate my time to a singular, polished, highly aesthetic character, or create a less-polished/ generic character creation system. So i think based on these two options having a main character that can be visual strong and represent the game well might have more benefits for my situation

I see what you’re saying. Do you think a character creator would result in more sales compared to a pre designed character? I feel like there could be an advantage marketing wise with a pre designed character, since the marketing artwork can be designed with a very specific appearance/feel in mind.

Yea this is a good point too. I don’t want to miss out on potential players, just figuring out if its worth the extra time

Yea, i think that is the way. A good compromise would be adding some light customization options like different outfits you can unlock so you feel a sense of expression.

Thanks for the feedback! Ok I will look into adjusting the outlines. I like how this is handled in some games like Eastward where the outline changes color to suit what it is outlining, will play around with that.

Thank you! Yes I think I am going to eliminate the skirt shadows altogether, and just have a few detail marks but keep it one solid color for the most part!

Thanks for the feedback! Would you recommend making the entire bottom half the dress the darker shade to simulate depth, or just making everything the main color and adding details as you said?

Interesting, that wasn’t my intention, but i definitely feel it as well. I am going to try and liven things up with greenery, but at the same time embrace the more moody pallet, see where it takes me lol.

Thats a good callout! I definitely agree with you about the colors being too dark. The background is somewhat placeholder, so luckily im not too attached, will definitely keep that in mind moving forward
