Redo the character models

Post by jordancoles »

At least the faces please.

This doll is creepy as hell but I'd still prefer it over the current female's face

Yeah, why do all females have asian eyes? I thought this was supposed to be a game about Vikings.

Those are the textures, though.

Will consider.

Might be worth looking at a few older textures as well, and as much as I like the art, I think your art has gotten better over time (as tends to happen with artists) could be worth sprucing up some of the older ones, I would bank it under lower priority though

You could use animal crossing faces for inspiration. They're reasonably simple.

We could definitely use more character customization.

Yes, pls ... you will notice that in the majority of my screenshots the char is facing away from the camera or her face is somewhat obscured ... this is why, I just can't stand to look at it! The male face is equally horrific but hey, I don't use the male char ... :P :D

And Jorb, don't take offence, I actually think your art is amazing in general, Haven is beautiful but faces are not your strong point, I can't draw them either, or hands for some reason. :)

I think with jorb's improved general skill at modelling and textures, several things should be revisited. I'd happily wait for the next bird if we could get a cow that doesn't dislocate its shoulders to walk.

Off the top of my head, in rough "priority" other than hearthling facials:

Lynx are horrifying, mostly from textures. Their models/movements are decent although the speed at which they move seems a little at odds for how they run. Cows and bears walk funny, kind of a similar liquid shoulder motion. Horses walk like two guys in a horse costume.

A lot of things that have been made since them look pretty great. Would like to see the early works topped up to meet that.
