If you're all caught up on the new style stuff going on for MA, then let's get right into it!
Today's preview showcases Charlotte, a mute girl who uses her notebook to communicate with others. She seems pretty normal enough despite this, but sometimes it's hard to gauge what she's really like or thinking.
(Images will be within the post, but it would be best to view them through the gallery feature at the start of this post, as you can enlarge those images.)

We start with Charlotte's comparison from the old style into the new style! One big thing you might notice right away is that she had a upgrade done to her hair! Still in the same haircut style as before, just more detail to look nicer. ^^ Alongside this, her eyes and face area is the main focus point for changes. With the new style eyes, this is her default eyes and so there's some other eye expressions we'll see below.
The comparison pairs the exact same expressions side by side, trying to give you all the best idea of how it translates from the old to new style. Now, moving onto the fun part.. Her expressions!
22 expressions for Charlotte to be seen in-game! We did cut out her old "pout" expression since it wasn't much of a pouting face and we think we'll be able to get away with using other expressions for her. "horny" is a new one and some of the existing ones have been lightly touched up to fit her better, like her "annoyed" expression used to have a smirk and it kind of looked goofy. ^^"
It won't be long before we see her return to the game! I wonder what the first impression she'll leave everyone with?
Aaand that ends today's comparison and new style reveal for Charlotte! She already had all her other sprite needs done before this, so it's not as long as Rosa or Allie's recent previews showcasing new outfits.
Let us know your thoughts! Any fans of Charlotte from before the Ren'py engine swap? Surely some are excited to see her return, yes? :P

XD For sure! :P I don't want to mislead or hype others up as well.. But for a long time now, I've always had a soft spot for some DLC stories for after the base game is finished. Of which, one would take a deeper look at Charlotte. ^^ That'll probably end up being sometime in 2025 roughly with some other DLC content plans floating around between one project to the next. :P
Bendy :) wish she were a main girl seems like she has a lot going on in her head while she hangs with miki
