JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING

Still would.

sonic-inspired games tend to have the worst character designs ever

ITS FUCKING UGLY

Welcome to the ugly club.

i personally thought the art direction was fine for this game, feels like the backlash was bandwagon mentality

its a good game the controls are just too complicated and it literally hurts my eyes to look at it for long periods of time. Generally tho you want a good looking character and this weird clown thing is ugly as fuck. The other in game characters are aight tho.

>>725349223
there's like only 2 good pics on rule 34, absolutely no one is trying

>>725350170
I don't even know how you would fix their designs.

Funny how that works.

>sonic-inspired games tend to have the worst character designs ever
Freedom Planet had good designs. Hated the sequel's art style tho.

>>725351710
Freedom Planet worked because it's a legally distinct Sonic fangame.
2 was an attempt to go further on a more unique path and it flopped hard.

>this will sell our Scrimblo

>>725349190 (OP)
Where's the white wash edit?

>>725351538
Just getting rid of Laylee's clown nose would make a difference. Bats don't have to be that ugly.

>>725352113
that looks just as ugly

>>725349190 (OP)
Character design so awful I actually couldn't even finish the demo.

Indie Devs can't into good character design. You see this a lot in indie fighting games too. They will have the most generic fucking boring characters you've ever seen.

Like, literally just a black woman in jeans and a t-shirt called "Trisha". That's it. And a white guy in a shirt and shorts called "Dave". That's your eclectic fighting game roster bro.

>>725351538
Copy Sonic like Klonoa did to fix his original dogshit design.

why this title.. they must have done it on purpose

>>725351710
I'll never understand the people who hate 2's art style.
>>725351792
2 bombed because they shadow dropped it after years of delays.

>>725352517
>They will have the most generic fucking boring characters you've ever seen.
But enough about Under Night

how is there not a no penguins mod for this game they fucking ruin the whole thing

>>725352716
It's because Mrania Tream broke away from Sega to become successful on their own. It turned out that the only thing they're good at is making Sonic romhacks.

>>725350170
The worst part is that they looked pretty cute in as drawings in Impossible Lair.
It's just that the 3D models are absolute horrifying.

>>725349190 (OP)
>>725350170
Theory:
I think they made them ugly on purpose so the furries won't claim them like they did to Sonic and Banjo-Kazooie.

>>725351538
>Laylee
Get rid of the clown nose
>Yooka
I genuinely do not know. I fucking hate how he looks.

>>725352910
Skill issue

>>725353225
It worked

I think Spark looks fine

>>725350170
Never found them ugly. The bat shcnose is notable, but it's just a decently stylized version of the real thing.

>>725350170
I fucking hate how Yooka looks like a red lizard that's wearing the green skin of someone else as full-body suit.

>>725351538
Remove the clown nose and swap their genders.

>>725352280
it looks sex

>>725353098
>No eyelashes on Laylee
Fuck off. Kazooie not only had eyelashes but they gave her babydoll eyes in Nuts & Bolts.

>>725352975
>It turned out that the only thing they're good at is making Sonic romhacks.
Reviews have been pretty positive, thoughbeitever.

>>725349190 (OP)
Even worse than the design was the godawful soundtrack in that game.

>>725352745
The style is more "delicate" like modern moeblob animu.

This game is genuinely top tier

>>725349190 (OP)
The design just has too much going on.

>>725353098
So in every possible way, the Impossible Lair was just a much better attempt at making Yooka-Laylee happen?

If I have to play 1 more game where I'm just a boring-ass dude, I'm going to fucking scream.

>>725353225
I've never understood this line of thinking. Like, "wow wouldn't it be terrible if people actually liked my characters?"

>>725351538
>no clown nose on the bat
>give them normal eyes instead of that awful "giant pupil with thin iris" shit that never looks good
>change the lizard's eyes in general, the dark spot just makes his eyes look sunken

>>725351710
fun game. shame about the dialogue though.

>>725359281
oh wow, i hadn't looked into it but yeah that looks way worse.

>>725353225
>>725363608
I think the only group that's ever done that would probably be the Demon Turf guys because they're likely not fans of some of the art that's been made.

>>725351710
I genuinely prefer the sequel's artstyle

>>725351710
the sequel looks peak

>>725349190 (OP)
looks like a goomba

>>725349190 (OP)
MC just had to be a shortstack with massive tits. That was their only mistake. It's amazing that the devs are so short sighted and stupid that they couldn't do this one simple thing.

>>725372381
I wonder if this kind of thing would sell, especially considering many of the people who like these games now are 20s-30s instead of kids

>>725365802
And I'm never touching the game with ugly man Beebz

>>725349190 (OP)
Gumba?

>>725349190 (OP)
Actually, is she some kind of animal like a raccoon or something? Just noticed the nose.

>>725351710
2 looked better but gameplay was worse

>>725349190 (OP)
growing up in a latin american low income household makes it so you don't get proper nutrition during your upbringing making it so you brain finds ugly designs attractive

>>725359281
I like the look of Carol here, the rest not so much. Lilac looks especially ugly

>>725350170
The 3D renders make them really ugly. Especially the sunken eyes. They almost look like they are people wearing animal costumes. They don't emote differently besides the creepy wide grins permanently plastered on their faces.

When I see 2D art of them they are kinda cute. I don't think their designs are completely irredeemable, in concept anyway.

>>725349190 (OP)
it's a shame they completely bungled the visuals because mechanically it's a very solid game, much more interesting than astrobot

>>725349190 (OP)
Its just a goofy ah jester design, its really not that bad.

>>725350013
>name one (1) flaw
Literally everything.
All attempts I've seen to make the design better are sidegrades. It's unfixable.

>>725349190 (OP)
A goofball. A freak. A weirdo, if you will. Anyone who thinks the design is trying to be attractive is retarded.

>>725381376
they could at least make it aesthetically pleasing to look at instead of what looks like if you asked an AI to create a Goomba cyborg

>>725352113
Have you seen bats? The character creator is fucked if you spec for echolocation.

>>725381376
>it's ugly on purpose!!!
please stop coping

People should test these designs better. You gotta have something that'll look good for several hours of gameplay, and if people hate how it looks straight from the get go, they won't want to play even if the gameplay is good.

How did sexy = bad become so prevalent? Even though sex always sells? I thought people cared about money first?

>>725381987
This design isn't bad because it isn't "hot", it's bad because it's incomprehensible.
They would have been better off just doing a straightforward jester design. They should have just used red as a primary color instead of mustard yellow and scrapped the whole "living yoyo jester" thing. Let the yoyo aspect of the design be handled by the yoyo lol

>>725381174
yeah it is that bad, it fails even as a jester design

her hat looks like ears or some kind of bloodborne/pact of the wolves hunter hat, not something a jester would wear, her suit is some sort of weird futuristic attire that evokes a cartoony astronaut, the colors are atrocious (mustard yellow, purple and red clash horribly), her eyes shape don't make sense for this kind of energetic character (droopy/tareme eyes are generally associated with softness and helplessness) and to top it all she has some fucked up granny hair that makes her look way too old

it's a mess

>>725352817
I don't care what you say, anon. Linne has a god-tier design and I'm saying that solely because Tonkotsufuumi did a god-tier doujinshi of her throating dick really, really good.

>>725382501
in comparison, because it was obviously part of the inspiration for the character (sega's old school visual style in general) look how much more coherent nights design is

>>725349391
OP is a Mischief Makers inspired game though

>>725349190 (OP)
The protagonist of the best post-5th gen 3D platformer. It’s a crime you can’t talk about this game without chudlets seething and shitting up a thread.

>>725383794
I wouldn't say it's the best, it just went for something pretty unique but stumbled out of the starting gate as a result.
The game is great, but it doesn't leave the best first impression.

>>725383794
The template already existed for the perfect main character design and they willfully decided to reject it. It doesn't matter how good the gameplay is if the character you play as isn't bangable with giant tits. Just because you have no taste and no self respect doesn't mean everyone else is shitting up threads.

>>725383794
I've seen footage of the game and it looks very good, but every time I look at the main character I can only think damn this motherfucker is ugly. I'm not one of those coomers asking for something that I can jerk it to, I want something that I can look at and at the very least think yeah that's alright.

>>725383794
>chudlets
kill yourself with your mutt culture war shit

this is like these retards who call you a brown communist if you don't think sydney "downie" sweeney is the most attractive woman on the planet

>>725383794
>post-5th gen
I'm in my forties and I still don't know what gen any console falls into despite probably being alive during all of them. This intense need for categorization baffles me. I'm blaming 12-hour-long YouTube video essays made to farm ad dollars.

I don't understand the hate for her design.

I think she's cute.

>>725364797
Can be disabled outright.

The sunken eye thing also ruins Elora from the Spyro remake trilogy

>>725349190 (OP)

It's safeHonk for closeted cownfuckers.

>>725387306
segafags nostalgic of the genesis/megadrive era

so that means probably a couple thousands millenial spergs at most

>>725385983
I think she looks cute, I like the aesthetic and I thought the game was actually pretty good

>>725383794
Too bad I have to see it to play it, visually this game is a complete mess. I’m not even talking about the main character.

>>725387306
Other game developer twitter accounts who show unconditional support for their peers, no matter how shit the game is.

>>725349190 (OP)
In all seriousness, is she meant to be… a human clown?

it's even worse when she? takes the hat off

>>725389118
Much better, but I still have a problem with that eye shape (and the colors, if they remained the same). Aside from that, a much more tasteful take on her premise.

>>725389000
She's a jester

>>725389205
Best redesign I've seen so far. Hiding the mouth alone gives her a lot more personality.

>>725389118
This one in particular is much better, but I feel like it would need further adjustments to account for posing and line of action on animations. There isn't a part of the overall composition that dominates any other, other than the head being big.

>>725389205
Making her roll like that is super inspired.
Still don't like the mustard yellow though.

>>725349190 (OP)
Why no one mention that this ost is one of the lowest Tee Lopez works.
I dont remember any single track, and Tee Lopez is an amazing composer

>>725390071
There was another guy on the OST that did a better job imo

They screwed up her model when they transitioned from 2D to 3D.

>>725389205
holy fuck thats so much better

>>725390071
the music in this game makes me feel like im going insane

>>725390071
I feel this way about all of Tee Lopes' stuff past Mania
His music just doesn't feel as inspired and doesn't carry the same energy as the Mania OST, I've honestly just stopped listening to his stuff nowadays
