New Rune and Lake
🕑 Added 2025-09-03 17:19:52 +0000 UTCHi folks!
I'm sharing Haku's reworks for Rune, and the in progress new sprite for Lake.
In case of Rune, I long wanted to recapture the charm of the previous sprite somehow. Haku and me experimented with various ideas, tried redrawing the whole sprite, but ultimately we've settled on what we already had - the current sprite, but with the front-facing head as the default one. Haku has redrawn all the expressions for that softer, approachable look he had - and I'm quite happy with the result.
With Lake, Haku hasn't been happy with the sprite since the beginning and now decided to redraw it completely. The pose and design are basically unchanged, but the anatomy is improved and more cute was added.
I hope you like these! Both will be included in the new build we intend to release near the end of the month, coinciding with public release of v0.50.

I definitely prefer the non head on sprite look imo

I like the idea for a jockstrap on Rune <3 Cant wait to see what Lake looks like finished!

The new Rune sprites look kind of weird with the posing of his sprites, like he's constantly turning to face us head on almost. I love the new expression work for sure, it makes him look way more open and less arrogant (which he seemed to be at times). But it does feel like him facing straight towards us is a bit less inviting than his previous ones

Love the new Rune, but I really love the shading/deepnes of Lakes current sprite :/ Maybe it's just this one sneek peak, but rn I prefer the current Lake.

Something about lakes face doesn't seem right and I'll be honest and say that Rune could definitely use some more abdomen definition
