New Status Images for v0.9
Added 2021-06-11 13:48:46 +0000 UTCI hope to have the update preview out in a few days, I'm scrambling a bit to finish up some story stuff, but I should still be on time with the update itself!
In the mean time, here are some comparison images of the new status images I've made for the game. The player character has had several subtle changes to her model and details over time and I've also gotten better at posing and lighting, so I've wanted to redo them for quite a while. I also changed her dress; the old one was very hard to get to fit on her body without warping, and had several issues with clipping and warped textures--the grid-like pattern made by the knitting and the bright color made imperfections hard to hide. The new dress is a flatter, simpler material that hides any warping. The only major issue is that it comes all the way up to her neck and that it doesn't appear in the portraits, so it may be a bit odd, but that's really a pretty minor thing, I think. I also wanted to experiment with a lighter color, but I got used to the black and wound up preferring it.
I'm sure some people will miss the old dress or not like every single slight alteration to the character, but I think in general this is a vast improvement. And even if you don't like it, I still do plan to add support for custom art packs in the future, and when I do, I can provide the old status images for users who want them.
