Campaign news and what's up.

Icaelus

Would Chris do any of his futanari stuff, then? That would be sweet.

I for one would not lose interest at all with the art change. I understand that feeling, and I do love the art the way it is. However, Armin's work is also fantastic. Regardless of which is used, so long as all the scenes maintain a level of quality, I don't see an issue. It will be a fantastic game either way, with beautiful, sexy scenes for us to see.

Zubaz

Yeah, I agree that the art style was the entire charm of this, and as much as i like the work of that artist, I'll probably lose interest in the game... you're art is unique and i hope you're going to stuck to your guns ;)

Really appreciate the update mang :) Glad progress is being made. glhf <3

kReig's mentioned before that the rapevine's design alone might turn away some publishers when the full game is released, so adding something like loli (which is a niche fetish that would get slammed in a poll anyway and one I don't want to see in the game either) would complicate that even further. I think it's also pretty much illegal in general.

I like the current art style, its what made me want to play the game and donate to help fund its success. and I'm not sure how I feel about guest artists and animators, moreso artists. If the the game is piecemeal from several different artsyles it might be visually displeasing to look at. I am just voicing this concern, but it probably isn't worth worrying about. Keep up the amazing work!

V

Glad to hear from you ViperV. I hope things will stabilize with you soon, it can't be fun what you're going through. I love both of your art styles, and the only thing I would request would be for some loli content in the game.

Ebola-Chan

I really like the current art style.

JoGaro

I like both face styles, but I should say he draws more detailed.

Having gone through the tumblr, I would really prefer that Nothing change about Siggy's art style. Especially her face. I did subscribe for the original art after all. And depending on how drastic the change is, i may unsub for the change in art.

Doomsday

I like the original art as that is what made me want to donate in the first place.

Thanks for updating us on your situation. Sometimes things go to poop and we can't avoid it. As for the art style, I'm not sure. I love the original siggy but who knows?

Oleem

Ehhhhh....... Please don't change Iggy's face... Your artwork is the reason I became a patron in the first place.. I also stumbled upon a game you were part of "Witch Hunt". The animation from there matches what you've done in Divine Arms. I really enjoy that art style.. (.u___u).

I'd be happy either way but I like his style a lot if it comes down to a tie my vote goes to the new version. Good luck with the power and interwebs!

The Future Fragments Team

Holy crap man, I've been worried ever since all the animators up and flew the coop about DA (tried to get you as many as I could myself but we both know how hard it is to find someone reliable), I'm really glad you secured someone this skilled :D

Think it would be cool to see the way that he does her face then we can compare and vote on what we think. Is that ok? Hope your power situation gets better!

Zachary Jacobson

Damn man. Glad you're safe and sound, sorry all that stuff went down. :( In regards to your question, I'm gonna say that I personally like Siggy how she is. I've seen that loop before, and yeah, Chris is definitely awesome for this project, but I really like your distinctive style as is. I figure that you two can find the happy medium and let him work his magic...rapine though it be XD

MartinX

Same here, kReig has mentioned on numerous occasions that it can be very overwhelming to have to deal with every little aspect of this project. And who else better to help him with all the miscellaneous stuff than some of the supporters here who are already very familiar with Divine Arms?

Jorge Ricardo Teixeira de Queiroz de Freitas

Good to hear from you! Happy Bday for your child :D About the animator, I'd go either way. I personally enjoy how Siggy is right now, but his loop is so amazing I'd let him try to bring his own approach. Besides, it's less work for you to do, letting you code a little more

I for one think you could easily find a few volunteers here to help do some of the website/PR side of things. I for one would be willing to donate my time and technical skills in any way i could.

MartinX

It's also a gif by ChrisArmin!

that final gif, is it from a specific video or just a gif someone made? If it's from something, could someone tell me what it's from?

I really enjoy his style however I would like siggy to stay the way is she as much as possible. Not a nock on Chris, I just really like siggy as she is.

Q

Chris is amazing!

The Alt Guy

I'd say let Chris take a shot at Siggy's face (no pun intended) and post it in an animation so we can see it. I love his animation and art style, so it'd be awesome to see what he can do with Siggy. That also gives us a good idea of what the rest of the game will look like should he continue to do the face himself. It'd be nice to see yours and his in the same post to see which the majority like better. Sorry for rambling, but the future is looking great for this game atm, good luck with development and don't work yourself too hard!

Scott Henderson

Oooo...I've actually seen those loops before. I bet he will do great things for Siggy.

Robert-Alexandru Deleanu

I like the current look because it feels clean and the animations have a similar aesthetics to the gameplay . I think Armin will bring quality detail to the game since the animations preview in the post could be implemented in the game and I'd be ok with. Each animator has a certain touch that leaves a special marker in their work, which sets them apart from the rest. I didn't have to look at the name until I knew "Yeah that's Armin breh". I think it would be a great idea to see a sample of work that Armin can do for the game. Ultimately, whatever decision is made will be best, but I'd be so excited to see any of Armin's work being in progress. I love watching things while in process of work. Sorry for what happened with the weather. I am glad you're getting stable and happy birthday to your daughter. EDIT: Interested to see an example piece of Armin's interpretation of Siggy.

ViperV

Thanks for the feedback guys. Chris is an awesome animator, so I'm sure he could emulate my style even just for the face. So, yeah, I think I should ask him to do that from the very beginning.

hey

The art, unsurprisingly, is the reason I've been pledged to this project. I mean, the art is the whole appeal of an H-game over something more conventional, so I wouldn't well be here if I didn't like the visuals of the game already. Mr. Armin's work is definitely fantastic, but there's something endearing about Siggy's cartoonish style. Not endearing like a puppy or a baby, though. Endearing like a shy japanese schoolgirl. The kind of endearing I want to put my dick in. Obviously it's unavoidable that there's going to be a change in style with a change in animators, and there's certainly nothing wrong with Armin's work, but I like Siggy as is, so my vote would go towards minimizing her changes in the transition.

Wesley Gunder

well if your still unsure after the feedback, I would let him do a rendition of Siggy, and let us see and vote for those in high enough teir?

I definitely like Siggy's face as is.

Nathan

I agree with this as it is hard to tell until seeing his version or possible version of it

Nathan

Woha that animation work is like anime top quality level

MartinX

HOLY SHIT, I can't believe you've managed to get ChrisArmin on board! I thought he still had months' worth of commissions left to do before he could animate for Divine Arms! Awesome! As for Siggy's face, I can't really give an opinion without seeing his version of it. As long as Siggy is instantly recognizable though, I'd be fine with some tweaks to her current face.

Gliese581h

I'd be perfectly fine with Siggy keeping her current face, I like it.

It's good that you're okay, and I'm happy your able to get everything back together, everything takes time. As for the new animator, I like Siggy's face however his style is good too.

Frank

His animations are great!! As long as you're fine with it, I say let him change Siggys face to his own style.

If you're asking for honest feedback, I'd prefer he keep the style for Siggy's face. Siggy is perfect waifu, don't fuck it up. Please.

Everything truly does get better with time. It's good to see such improvement!
