The new Character Sprites - A Discussion

[ValGarilovich]

I would like to see what other people think of the new sprites for marines, personally I dislike them and prefer the old sprites much better, but I was wondering what everyone else things, leave your thoughts in the replies, and please, try to keep it civil


for comparison here's me old and new
New:


Old:

I've always noticed the new sprites have a lot softer features and look less pixely in a sense, but I'm not bothered by it.

It looks like everyone is sick they're so white. Also the lack of mouth and face shape is weird. I also like the old sprites more, muh classic spessman sprite.

[JennerH]

i need lipstick to differentiate females

I went from this:


To this:


In about 30 minutes. How the hell am I supposed to pick up cute anime girls at the club when I look like a vampire monkey?

Them bitches be crazy anyway.

Look for the women picking a fight if you want to have a good time.

You don't fix what ain't broke. Though, they're not bad or they're not good. All, I can say is maybe try to have stuck to the original human sprites while incorporating the newer tones, etc.

[OatzAndHoes]

I'm not a fan. As people have said already, don't fix what isn't broke.

the arms looks absolutely disgusting, too noodly.

Skidaddle Skidoodle your arms are now noodles.

[Nightwolf901]

We started from here to the good ol blade dancer

to
OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS AHHHHHHHHHHHH.

[Plaguewalker]

Suggestions:
-Try to make a hybrid of the old and new sprites
-Try to make the arms less like noodles
-MAKE GOD DAMN PROSTHETICS ROUNDSTART AGAIN WITH THIS
-Make prosthetics look less dull.

I liked the old stuff more personally, everyone looks like sickly hotdogs. I really enjoyed a lot of the charm, and appeal of the original sprites. I feel like a lot of personality is taken away with this change.

[Ttly]

It's too contrived.
It attempts too much detail in a 2D cartoon spessman.

The lighting on the sprite felt out of place to the flatness of the environment light.
Also the skintones are eeeh, bring back sliders.

[Trench007]

Perhaps, this update will get reverted from all the backlash, just like the Teal Charlie marines.

I do like the new Character Setup menu. Nice and neat.

[Sulaboy]

The new sprites have a dark colored outline that gets lost on the background. I'm pretty sure the sprites are working on it.

I am looking at a human person, or a creature attempting to look human and failing miserably?

You mean a SS13 player? But yeah, the sprites look a little too... real for a 2D pixel game.

[Alchemist120]

Muh legs. However, I don't see any differences in muhreen unless they stop wearing their armor.

[dylanstrategie]

We're not reverting this, so it's not even worth asking

We're going to iterate on skin tones because they might be a little too washed out on the upper scale. Outlines might blend in too much with dark flooring

Otherwise, we're gonna stick the course with this and improve it as we go

[DeLineFortune]

New nerf: Marines no longer have humanity





(Really, they look like victims of a Nazi concentration camp)

[Durper]

Why are we no longer human

[Simo94]

its The Thing imitating a human, but this one is a noob so its not a perfect imitation......

[ExGame]

The issue is that literally everybody on the ship is ripped as hell now, be it the Doctor that does nothing but use scalpels and treat people or the couch potato SO just sitting at the console all day.


Oh god, muscleman grandpa looks wrong on so many levels.
