All four base classes (Guardsman, Sorcerer, Possessed, Cyber-Heretic) in menu. Disregard UI, it will be updated, eventually, probably. Names will be randomly generated upon recruitment. The player will be able to run mono-class full party stacks of five, if they manage to recruit 5 characters of the same class.

Also thinking about moving away from anime. Is that not glorious incline?

Fuck anime - what is the new art style you are considering?

Anyway, the class illustrations are pretty good, getting vibes similar to the old Kal Jerico comics.

Also regarding the classes - is there going to be a player character? If so, will the PC be present in tactical combat or will he just make skill checks on the world map?

Not sure on art style yet, but if we're going to change, it will be using more of the B&W comic-style art you see here. It won't affect gameplay, only dialogue and sex scenes, so that's something for my partner to decide since I'm not really touching that.

Also, there will be no PC avatar for combat, at least initially. I'm considering adding in a special unit/class that is the PC "character." It'll make sense within the permadeath gameplay.

Who needs scope when you're just the recipient of an unholy demon?
Because it could be a Khornate daemon that eschews ranged weapons and makes you charge against heavy flamers.

Seems cool. That party of heretics won't be able to pass as normal people without insane use of stealth though.

With a chaos party, it is perfectly acceptable to have them refer to a "supreme leader" who only exists in their deluded mind. :P

Edit: So I'll probably just keep one style. A comparison of the art styles (western B&W comic book vs anime-esque) junior inquisitor and demonette:

I'm asking, coz it had the only correct solution for having 2 different art styles.

Keeping two types of style can be too work. The first style is more realistic BUT if the game is a parody... maybe an anime style is better.

Ah just to clarify, I'm only keeping one art style. I ain't got money for that. This project barely has a budget as is.

I would definitely go with the B&W comic book style. There are tons of anime porn, not nearly enough in B&W style and it fits the setting better.

Combat and interior pixel graphics remain unchanged from my other project. Here's a comparison of size between astartes and non-astartes. Haven't figured out yet what to call them.

I have nothing against anime graphics, but those B&W ones are just too gorgeous to pass up.

In my opinion it's just a huge upgrade.

Solidified the skill/attribute system. Working names are Degeneracy, Perception, Charisma, and Knowledge.

I'm probably overcomplicating it, but skill checks will work two ways:

  • Traditional "you need x value in this skill" to pass
  • D6 + [skill] rolls for anything on the overworld map (missions, talking with NPCs, etc)

Will have to see how the second one pans out.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Not a fan of anime, in general, but I think the anime-esque art is significantly better than the B&W in the above comparison shot.

Hmm, decided to toss out skill trees and add in D&D style class features as you level up characters. This creates less clutter, especially as characters gain abilities from weapons and items.

If it worked fine in my first game so it'll probably work fine here too.

The Terminators of the Seven Chapters, of course.

I'd dare GW's lawyers to come at you, but maybe 2000AD could. This reminds me that I should try your other game, having switched laptop in the meantime....
