=== EDIT ===

I've uploaded a slightly revised build. Now Arne has a face, Gudrun has a body and Klaus has trousers. I'm sorry 🙏


Hi folks! 

We're finally ready - after many touch-ups and technical issues, we finally have a working build with the new sprites (and also another illustration, a WIP at the moment, near the end of Rune's update, by Nouan)! Other than the reworks, the content is the same as the last Rune & Bjørn update. 

We're treating it as a test build. We tested portions of it, but with this much content we weren't able to test everything, so there might be some technical issues. Mostly we want you to see these sprites in game, with expressions and poses and all.

Now, we know that not everyone was happy with the new style and direction. We definitely want to change the sprites and feel like the new ones work better. However, we want to get them right. Now that the sprits are finalised, the build is out and you can create your opinions, we want to gather comprehensive feedback and once we have the results, decide what to do next.  We don't want to go back to the older sprites, but redraws and other changes, minor or major, are on the table. We're mostly happy with the new sprites, but we want you to be happy too. 

We'll soon share a comprehensive, sprite-by-sprite poll, once me and Haku decide on questions and what options are on the table - after that I'll get back to you with results after a few days!

The only sprite I'm having trouble adjusting to is Devon. His new one is very.. Soft. His former was more aligned with his brooding inner turmoil. The outward appearance of rigid confidence and unwavering strength. I think it's the muzzle and the eyes. His new design is very "cute and fluffy" as opposed to his previous "large potentially dangerous animal that secretly wants love above all." Just my own ramblings though. I'll adjust as time goes.

I love the new sprites! Only technical issue I have seen so far is that blush marks on mikko appear above the sprite

I like them all, but I think that Rune's is a complete mismatch still. Not only does he not really resemble his CG self imo (in Harbors or main game), but he looks too old and grizzled. To me at least, Rune's main characteristic is that he is youthful but is overworked under the surface. In his new sprite, he looks like a hard working 32 year old manager at a games company that likes working out.
