More stuff

Oh, and I was wondering, are all the finished decor 3D creations ? I thought it was just draws (except for qome, where we really see it's 3D, like the school), until I saw the plane who represent the wall in the Chester's kitchen not going to the end (left side) of the picture ^^

Arkenophas

aww dude you are doing just great! i just inlove whit what you doing here

kuroBaraYue

Amazing changes :X Sexy :D

Tangakwunu

Gonna repeat myself from another site; these are (imo) better. The characters are actually varied in their body shape when contrasted to CM, who while good wasn't able to differentiate enough. Chest was supposed to be somewhat fat (mostly gut?) but he looked like a muscle gut similar to...basically everyone. So the whole "am I squishy" was kind of confusing. I am worried about other aspects, but have to see more. ALSO, HUGE PROPS to the fucking human design. I love it. He manages to not look out of place (see Dragonball furries)

WulfyB

Maria looks great! Just by reducing the upper lip shade, reducing the chin and getting the waist size a bit lower. She really does look more feminine. Hoping to see soon the next previews.

The current merchandise won't be affected any. It'll still be up for sale ;)

DyneWulf

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be showing off some more stuff tomorrow ;3

DyneWulf

Things will be replaced over time as I rework stuff ;3 And puns are always needed!

DyneWulf

Yes, over time.

DyneWulf

Sorry to hear that~

DyneWulf

No, since the old art style is nowhere near complete for the cast. Things will all be uniform eventually

DyneWulf

Lots of expressions are in store, so we'll be working hard on that ;3

DyneWulf

A lot of reptiles tend to have legs that are on the shorter side, don't they? ;3 Even in humans, some people have longer/shorter arms/legs.

DyneWulf

Currently, I don't have plans on adding anything like that.

DyneWulf

Not that I didn’t love the precious builds, when I saw you had CaptainGerBear working with you now I squealed a little. I love all his other games and can’t wait for the new builds with him as the artist!!!

Dkj

Aaaaww those characters are absolutely marvelous!

BassPuppy

why do you think it's about CM not being ready, he's always been active outside of the VN, I'll go as far as saying he hasn't been active on the project much, given how slow the progress was on the sprites' side. could be anything, maybe he was burnt out, maybe he lost interest, maybe he didn't have much interest at all to begin with, maybe he simply doesn't want to work anymore for the project, at any rate, things got tense enough to risk a friendship.

Sizo

New Darius isn't fit? What? If anything he's leaner, you saw his big ass arms on the original?

Vic Viper

I mean why cant you wait until the artist is alright and ready to draw again, there is no rush at the game needed, everything is amazing but you have to say the art style is one of the important pieces as well, this is really sad news...

Kumasen

maria was always "thicc" <a href="https://i.imgur.com/Ip1cSNu.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/Ip1cSNu.png</a>

Hyou Vizer

their personalities won't change, I mean Dyne is the one that writes his well crafted characters after all, not CursedMarked :3

Hyou Vizer

Damn Maria got T H I C C

Syon Toxius

So I just stumbled over the news about the art style change and while that does really suck and I also really hate to see cursedmarked go (cause he's one of my favorite artists) i'm also really glad to hear that a lot of stress Has been lifted from your shoulders. Lets Hope everything moving forward is able to run smoothly! I just have one question. So now that captanGerBear is remaking our favorite boys and girls with his own style, does that mean we're going to see any major character shifts as well? Cause I (like a bunch of others I'm sure) have fallen head over heels for Coach and Chester, so will we see any changes in character or personality or will our boys be staying the same? (Aside from all your future plans for em that is)

Joseph knight

I hope at least one of them is going to be fit...

Artem

God i love captain gerber and im looking forward to the updated charector designs and oh gosh my hype for griffer continues to rise woo

TyrantShin

I don't want to nit pick because I really like the new artist's style, but Dozer doesn't seem the type to skip leg day. Not that his legs are under defined. They are just smaller than his top half.

Talsen

Now that I read the other comments I noticed someone saying Chester's pecs sagging. I think that's what caused me to ask for change in pose, hoping the pecs look more sturdy if he not strutting out his chest.

Mark

Since your looking for feedback on Chester, I'd recommend a different posture for Chester instead of hands on hips. Something less confident and more adorably self-conscious, like him scratching the back of his own head. I just never saw him as the type to stand superman posed with hands on hips.

Mark

Oh man cant wait!! this game is SO AMAZING!!! AAAAAA

Kumasen

So far interesting work. It will take some getting use too but I believe the story will help mold us to loving them again. ;) The only thing worrying me is capturing Darius sneaky smirk lol

Antonio

That was my only issue with Chester too lol but so far it looks interesting.

Antonio

I'll love the Idea with the MC Design :D That's something another Novel did and it just feels so much better while Playing through it <3 Can't wait to see more :D

Choky

Do you think you'll be able to opt for old/new art-style (when applicable) in settings as you plan to do with MC's design?

ky☆

I don't like it sadly

Atmot

honestly i think the only "problem" i would have with any of these is that chester's pecs look like they are sagging slightly but other than that i love all the designs! it will still take time to get used to but i love captaingerbear's art and i'm glad you went to him for this!

GrayMech

are you changing all character images?

Bloodmage77

while i love CGB version of all the other characters, I'm not fond of their version of Maria either. I had issues with CM art here and there but still liked it for the most part and yet his version of Maria was amazing, I'll definitely miss it going forward.

Hyou Vizer

I love this!! Maria looks a a lot better with the changes btw. I know someone mentioned it earlier, but Darius does seem a bit too thick. He's supposed to have more of a swimmers body but he's far too bulky for that lol. The only reason I mention it is because Darius says he doesn't want to bulk up for that very fact Coach, Dozer, and Chester look positively amazing though! I'm super stoked.

GrimFloof

Nice work :) (and sorry, your pun was not necessary :p ) Sure, we just need a little time to be used to the new design, after one or two update, it will be like there was no difference ^^ Will you change the previous design at a moment ? Or will they stay like it ?

Arkenophas

A bit off topic, I posted this question once before but I think it got overlooked so I thought moi would post it again. Is there anyway to add a visual for when you get points for each characters route and to show how much, and/ or some sort of stat sheet. I would love to help with th me guides but as it is now there is no sure fire way to show blue progress is being made, I wasn't sure if this was something you where already looking at or of it's even possible in the engine but just wanted to ask.

timothy ballard

Yaasss Coach and his big belly! These pics are looking really lovely so far! Props to CGB! Glad you are also giving the time for a UI refresh too! As a UI designer myself i greatly approve! Maybe the icons in the top right should be spaced out a little more, and could also be smaller but give them larger click are? Just a couple ideas x3 Looking forward to the future!

Homura

(really though, Captain just NAILED Dozer, Chester, Coach and Hal, I can't wait to experience the game with new sprites)

Kereng

Yay, thanks for that Maria tweak, she looks much better now <3 Chester and Coach prototypes are AWESOME, I really look forward to seeing them all in-game and once again wish luck to Captain and whole EA Project (and to Dyne personally, too)

Kereng

Well said, feeling the same.

Raistlin

Maria looks great! Good job on her. The guys will take some getting used to for me. Like I said before, CM’s style is more appealing for me. I’m surprisingly sad considering the change, hmmm guess EA had a bigger impact then I thought. I like Chesters face a lot, his body... not so much...(Ches was my fav) I know CB really likes the short legs, but it’s not really my thing. And I really miss the bulges...

Raistlin

I really don't want to ne be rude or anything and while I absolutely dig the new artstyle of Chester, I must say that Maria.. is a little bit too... musculine. 'She' looks like a man to me right now and I always loved her so much.. it'd be a shame to just let that go now..

Hektor

No, it wouldn't be better! Many people (including me) want to see his canonical appearance too. Don't ruin the mood of those people who want to see it, please. It's fortunate that the protagonist will receive the same respect and attention as other characters)

Yuki Yamada

I'm gonna be honest with you and sorry if it seems a little blunt but I think it would be better off if we didn't have a canon MC since a lot of people here are using themselves or a fursona as way a way to put themselves in the game. I understand that there will be an option to turn the MC off and a possible character creation thing but that is just my two cents. I look forward to see what the new artist brings!

inukai44

I'm much happier with the fact that we'll see canon MC character with his canon design=) It's truly awesome!)

Yuki Yamada

I am liking the new artwork. Looks more believable than before (Never complained but it always looked a little too cartoonish.)

Kharnos Strayder

i'm happy that you made the MC option an optional thing, i kinda liked being able to imagine my sona as MC, and to see it's still an option makes me happy

Emmanuel Greene

So far So good, I am glad they dont have oversized nipples anymore and Harold picture Is awesome. Hope Spencer will be great too

Lumble

I love Chester and Coach's redesigns. Maria looks a little boyish to me, but it's more a personal opinion than an objective criticism. Now, while I like Chester and Coach's designs equally between Cursed and Captain, and I prefer Cursed's Darius (as far as the work-in-progress shows), Captain's Dozer looks much better in my eyes. He keeps the very muscular frame, but this aspect is less exaggerated. I hold my judgement for Spencer. I am a big fan of Cursed's Spencer, so I have big expectations :-p I like the new UI, too.

Kernog

Darius from previous post and Maria have weird looking muzzles. Could you please work a bit on Darius, because it is totally not as I imagined him. He was leanest from them all and it should stay that way.

Jacek Jagosz

Really liking the direction for Coach and Chester atm, those look pretty great to me; although one thing that does stick out (from the screenshot, not sure if it's already different/changing) is Dozer's head, that does bother me, but it might be more of a personal thing? Not too much of a fan of Darius currently either, (Not sure specifically what bothers me so much, but I'll have to think on that) but if Chester and Coach set a precedent, I'm excited to see what Spencer's model will look like.

lath

I wouldn't mind bigger bulges. Doesn't need to be as big as CM's (altough that was super hot) but some more would be nice. The guys are wearing flimsy shorts after all, and they are pretty damn big. Aside from that Chester's face looks really good. But I would wish that his chest was a bit less "deflated". It looks like his nipples are sorta running away from him - so i'd wish the chest to be a bit "fuller" and solid, if that makes sense. Coach does look good to me.

Rahal

I initially felt that too, but I got used to the abnormally large bulges. It was just a part of the charm of the characters, for many reasons. Though, I'm not too sad to see it go since the new art gives the same feeling more or less. The angles that the characters are drawn at is a bit odd though. It feels more natural and immersive when the characters look straight at you.

William Chan

I have not seen this question asked yet and it just occurred to me as I was cuddling up to my Chester Daki, for the night, (it's currently his rotation lol) but what does this change do with regard to the existing merchandise? (dakis, mouse pad, wall scrolls and the bear belly shirt)

Jay Paul Mayer

god, i feel like an asshole for saying this now that cursedmarked is gone but... i was never a fan of the massive bulges. i understand the appeal and i respect cursedmarked for making art that appealed to people who like that but they really broke immersion for me on multiple occasions, especially serious moments like how am i supposed to feel sad or angry while there is a crying dude clearly smuggling a cantaloupe in his pants? so that is one part of the art change i'm especially happy for, i wish there was a way to say it that didn't sound so disrespectful but that's just how it is.

Vivienne

is "fun time" scene also got reworked?

erogical

The UI looks so polished and neat, the redesign look so close to original. Loving the improvements upon maria. Dozer’s snout should be a tad shorter. He looks kinda like a crocodile. Also we’ll finally have a canon MC design as well?! Nice. I was worried that the “slime” MC wouldn’t really work out in CBG’s style. Also people have mentioned that they would like an anthro variant if MC. Would that be possible in the future?

TiredFins

I'll show him off soon ;3

DyneWulf

Wow these look amazing, I'm super excited to see how the changes go for the rest of it.

ArcTheWolf

to be fair CM design of Harold always looked older than 34, only waaaaay back in early stages of Harold's original design did he look in his late 20s at least lol. Chester looks perfect to me, but I understand your feelings towards these changes and I'm glad you've said them a respectful matter.

Hyou Vizer

Spencer and MC will be shown off next! ;3

DyneWulf

It fits Chester quite well, because there are quite a few instances in his route where he talks about being fat.

DyneWulf

New poses are definitely on the horizon ;3

DyneWulf

Because, I'm unBULLieavable.

DyneWulf

It definitely makes my life a lot easier, being able to do that in Renpy.

DyneWulf

Hmmm, someone else said they had to make sure they completely removed the old android version for this one to work, so give that a shot too!

DyneWulf

hmm, i agree 100%

Hyou Vizer

aaaaah this guy >;p

Hyou Vizer

I'm surprised you didn't show all of them, I mean *spoiler* looks incredible more like the animal you originally said they were and the change to *spoiler* is such an improvement i wish it was their regular design full time >:P the UI looks even better this way, I'm loving it so far. it feels more like this game will be how the full game be doesn't it :D

Hyou Vizer

Ooh, a canon MC. That's going to take some getting used to but I can see that being a useful thing. It could add more depth to the scenes. Any hints on what he's going to look like?

Frost Knight

I am very excited for this! Everything looks lovely ^.^ Im also definitely liking the way maria looks. shes always been one of my favourite characters. also the idea of having a customizable mc is so cool. like even if it turns out how Amorous did theres (with the character's defining features hardly showing up) itd still be really cool. *patiently waits for Maria x Richard* Ger is doing amazing work <3 like the changes are so small in the large scale, but i feel like im going to be able to completely re expierience it all over again. Also! now that i know humans exist in this world, im curious as to who all else is human. i appreciate the way its like not a thing at all in the sense its never mentioned cuz, hey in the end were all just people my man. i kinda hope mc has the option to be human :x i really appreciate all the hard work Ger is doing. Honey you're doin great! sendin you guys tons of love <3

Aurora Lovecraft

I will say, the more I look at these, the more I notice a few small issues with his style. Firstly, the bulges seem almost non-existant. That's fine for the more 'normal' guys like Darius and Spencer, but Dozer, Chester, and Harold are all BIG downstairs. They should bulge out a bit more. Also, their chests all seem sort of... flat. Just a bit odd, really. Not to mention, Dozer's legs are oddly short for his body (having measured, his ankles end up mid-chest, while Darius' end up mid-face). Then there are Dozer's tiny feet... I'm okay with having a new artist, but he might need to tweak a few things. Okay, rant over now. XD

Kusho

Yaay new GUI ;)

hiro2196

These all look like amazing looks so far, It feels like it fits more than CM's style. It's sad to see his work go, but I'm glad that this is what's taking his place. From what we've seen, everyone looks great, I really like the direction they're going and excited to see everyone in-game. Great work Dyne, can't wait to see what else's in store in the future.

Adam Even

I'm sad to see CM go, but I guess it's for the best. I love what Ger, has done so far and can't wait to see how he will handle everything else.

Ryo

It looks really really good... love being updated. I DO WONDER how SPENCER is going to look like????? *wink wink*

BlackWolf007

To be honest, the only thing that CursedMark brought to the table, when it came to design, was the ability to make all of the characters seem far too large to reasonably exist as what they were written out to be.

Startica

Really I don't mean to be a dissident anytime to destroy the harmonious atmosphere now. But my Chester and Coach never come back,beacase BG's pencil drawed adding ten years old at least to every male character.It would not match the vigorous and athletic image of my cute boys anymore ……I felt that they're greasy middle-aged men now……sorry about my comment is so critical,but I started to miss CM. I saw CM's sexy cover of EA,so I came here,knew you and your wonderful garden. Tbh when I read that sensational news yesterday,I nearly broke my heart (ಥ_ಥ).Seems that your fans and supporters is rising nearly every 2hours and everybody loves BG's,so I had to hide my real emotion,but now I said it……HURT!

Tauros

I'm cool with the new looks as I figured they aren't too much of a departure; they are just a bit different is all, and that's cool. I just want to see Spencer now, so I can finally feel at ease about all of them. The others look great, Harold is still his cuddly self, and Chester is still an adoribull mootaku dork; but I need some hint on my lovable tennis dog too.

Jay Paul Mayer

I think it is mainly positive but still a mixed bag for me. I like the new Coach, Maria and Chester, I think their form looks more natural based on proportions and coloration. Also think even in this rough draft their faces contain a lot of depth. However I think Dozer looks oddly cartoony, his proportions and colour palette almost clash with the rest of the cast (mainly his head, hands and feet). I also agree that Darius (who also had this problem early on with CM) seems to have lost his "lion" image. If you only remove or ignore his tail I could see any canine or feline, along with even a mongoose. However as Dyne has stated they are first drafts so I am happy to wait and see.

Nemakalia

Also, I'm liking what you have thought out in regards to the MC and having a Canon design, option of disabling the image, and a Character-Build option. Really does add more to the game.

Ahhhhhh, sjvmknfmkfkmvkmkm. Loving the art for Chester and Harold. And the difference for Maria is notable too. &lt;3

Chester and Coach are my favorites and I'm liking their styling so far. Chester's tits are a bit Gia Gun-ish though. Wonder how Harold will look like when he's embarrassed.

Jatroni

I'm sorry for my harsh reaction yesterday :X Today I can say with my jaw on the floor - DAMN they look amazing :D!

Tangakwunu

meh...not really digging chester's new look tbh. with cm's style he looked more buff, now he's just fat :x

SkyVisual

To be honest, I was really nervous about the changes too. But you have shown every major characters except one and they look really good and they respect their original art too. But where is my baby?! Where is my tennis dog? The one I worry the most about! I can’t wait to see the rest and Spencer <3. I’m kinda glad of the changes now that I see these previews. CM’s art was always a little bulgy which is not really my style (which is why spencer is my husbando) and I’m looking forward to see the rest of this artist’s work.

Archangel

f

SkyVisual

Yeah, now that the shock has worn off I'm really liking what I'm seeing now. Chester looks great and Coach is still hot. Be still my weaselly heart~ I personally don't see a problem with Maria's design. I think she's better proportioned than before.

Wheeler Bertrand

Me too! He's my fave character.

Wheeler Bertrand

I hope that with the shift to CGB as lead artist, we could get to see more dynamic poses and animations from the cast!

Isa_Lion

I was nervous about the change at first too, but the more work I see for each character, the more of "Them" and their personality I see shine through! And they work wonderfully with the new BGs. Can't wait to see more~

Mark Thorne

Chester's chest looks a little warped imo (looks like actual boobs). Other than that looking good!

random user

Those puns are horriBULL why do you PUNish your patreons like this?

Epsiloh

Really digging the idea of changing the colors via Renpy. This will give quite interesting results and make it easier on the artist :D And the change to widescreen is something that will make it this VN even more unique. Keep those great ideas coming :)

Grawl

Oh man, Coach is looking mighty fine in the new style, I don't really get what you meant with the colors but I'm sure it'll be easier to understand within the next few updates. I'm dying to see what Spence is looking like now!

MauveAdagio

OMG!! I'm already looking forward for it! I almost can wait to see it now XD!!! Btw, sorry bothering you with this but I think there might be a problem with the latest android uptade... I tried to install but it's justed failed and I also try to completly install it a new but nothing xp... It plays ok the pc version but just thought I tell you... Anyway! Still looking forward for it XD!! Thanks for all your hard work!

Xeralex

I do hope you can fix the Save Name feature - but I'm also trying to NOT overwrite my Saves with the new feature - since I'm waiting for story updates, but - if you're going to be mainly updating the UI, the graphics, etc etc, then I may just replay the routes. Just to catch up and enjoy the stories all over again ;)

Griffonheart

Amazing Coach and Chester are my favorites they look awesome i cant wait to see how the side characters turn out

Everos

The new sprites are looking great! I'm definitely down for some more varied poses. I also can't wait to see how the colour system works with the new clothing. Can definitely see that saving some work (and space) by not needing to draw new clothing each time, except for ones with patterns such as Chester's work uniform, or Darius' costumes.

Taryx

😕 the new look is nice but not my aesthetic. I really liked CM's style. I'm down that Harold, while his build is still great, has lost that cute dace I loved. I'll get on board eventually. Keep up the great work and I'm excited with the other developments.

RW

I was nervous about loosing cm but now I'm super excited! Coach and Chester look great! coach looks alil skinnier a plus in my book! Tho still think dozer looks chubby but I can't wait to see more!

Kyle

Great work on chester and maria. I do wish that coach design would keep his fat belly instead of giving him a muscle belly. And while dozer looks good, that arm is way to big on the bicep, looks odd. Although im super excited to see what more to come.

Bunnylover

I do like Maria's update. She looks more 'Sassy' like she ought to be.

Griffonheart

Wow the art style looks in incrediBULL haha sorry I had to do that since Chester is my fav I love that Mootaku 🤓😍 and I think after seeing this little sneak peek definitely has me excited to see what else we’ll see and it’s great to hear that we’re gonna see a design for the MC I’ve been wondering if they will be a human or not you never cease to amaze me Dyne I love it all ❤️

OtakuboyZay

Oh daaayyuum, loving how they look <3 <3 really is going to be so interesting to see the overall changes. The Maria change is subtle but she definitely does appear a lot more feminine now and I am very curious as to what the canon MC design will be, will he or will he not be human, that is the question :o

Naesaki Ashwell

I agree

KilltoD23

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!

Silverjack

(claps hands) Woohoo! Lookin' great so far. :)

Griffonheart
