After much musing and experimentation, we’ve decided to double down on making our character designs abstract.
The original character art was designed to give the illusion of looking at the top of a vaguely human head, with floating hands and feet.
As we’ve play tested the game and continued progressing with development, we found that these character designs had many flaws. They were limited, difficult to read, and overall just looked awkward.
Our new design is much simpler and leaves more to the imagination, which is perfect for this perspective.
Most importantly, this new design is one crucial piece of allowing us to remove the HUD and display important information directly on the character.
We think this new art style will be a lot more appealing and allow us to make far more interesting characters.
