Street lights seems too bright, other is fine.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Haven't changed the art style this time men.

Kickstarter + demo? Are they doing a second Kickstarter? Are they pulling a Cleve? I haven't been paying attention.

Well at least I admitted I wasn't paying attention. Thanks bro.

Previous art style was 3D , PS1 style, no problem with me but it wont get them many sales indeed on steam. Now that comic style can appeal to a larger steam mass market crowd, while not alienating anyone, it's clearly for the best.Tbh that's really impressive aesthetics.

Balanced agree-disagree reaction. They could sell much more copies, more then with this *current art style* if they sticked to OG PS1 isometric Metal Gear Solid art style and marketed game as exactly what it would be: isometric Metal Gear Solid/ Escape from Space New York RPG. Stretch your hand. Can you feel it too? Money is already starting to drizzle over this comment!

If it is not modern pixel art or good graphics people will not buy a more complex game.
At best they might get Underrail sales but these devs live in USA and have sold their house to make this game. They need proper sale numbers.

The previous Jodorowsky-Moebius style seems the optimal choice from both artistic and commercial POV. Eye catching compared to usual indie crap, and simple to make compared with realistic graphics.

 

[Grotesque]

they change their art style more often then your average thot her latest 'bf'

Oh, man! What a comparison... You're a literary mastermind!

That gentlemanis perfectly right that style reminds me those comics and Sci fi video games from my childhood. Games like BAT, or syndicate for exemple, its kind of a madeleine of Proust effect. My comment dont add much i would just brofist him, but you know codex is a dictatorship like france tthey mutilate political opponents so i have no longer any brofists.

Thanks bro, didn't even apply for award. Some things give themselves to you practically, like your thot. Don't despair, once I mold and train her to be wife material, I'll sell her back to you for mere price of 100 brofists. Better than best deal!

To get any sale numbers they need to first sell a product and product needs to have an art style. One, not one hundred and one. Or give us at least an option to change styles in settings, like paint jobs on your audi, RTwP vs Turn Based mode in Deadfire, switch between different themes on Nokia. Since they all seem fully operational and implemented, it would be waste for them all to end up in waste. Make it a selling point on box too: Travel through UI art history from PS1 era to Hipster era, Metal Gear to Psychonauts! Would be first Art History RPG too

What is going on with this?

 

[grimace]

Alpha testers are alpha testing.

 

[Diggfinger]

I'm about done with an impression's article. But man is it hard: the game is changing so much with every interation, it's impossible to give any coherent assessment of what the final product will be like.
At first, there were some test missions to try out. Then that was out the window, and now they release snippets of small areas with huge graphical variations earch time.
At least the systems are coherent, but the stuff we get to try out now is pretty bare-bones (just combat, no character-interaction or character skills).

Anyway, guess I should finish it and put it on the Codex. Maybe at least the screenshots will be of some historical value

 

[Maggot]

Backed this game because of the nice PS1 style grafix and interesting systems. Now it looks worse with every update

 

[Ninjerk]

I like to think they're constantly inhaling psychedelics while they make the game.

 

[Fenix]

Crossing fingers, right?

 

[grimace]

Spoiler

Alpha 1.097 now available to alpha testers.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

I would prefer brighter colors

 

[ERYFKRAD]

I would prefer brighter colors

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand art style shift in 3.. 2...

 

[Zombra]

Speaking on behalf of Whalenought, I've made a decision. Every Codexer can make one request about the art in 5 words or less and they will somehow all be implemented for the final version of the game.

 

[Maggot]

make edgy like 90s games

 

[Bohr]

ascii only pls

 

[HoboForEternity]

i want a collector's physical copy of the game that come with some . . . . enhanced mushrooms. . . or . . . grasses. to enjoy the immersion 110% from this game.
