Human Resprite Thread

[Camryn]

I'm gonna compile my findings here.

Overall, I'm really pleased with the update. It turned out much better than I had ever expected. The issues I'm going to present here are definitely exceptions rather than the rule.

With that in mind, I've grouped the issues I found by severity.

Minor:

• Side-sprites for the moe-blob mask are facing the camera just a biiiit too much
  
• Cowboy hat feels a teensy bit too small
  
• The Vaguely Greek Helmet is... more round than it should be I guess? It doesn't actually look bad, it just looks less pointy than the object it's trying to represent looks
  

Moderate:

• Galoshes might be too shiny and look like they're made of bronze rather than rubber
  
• Pink wizard hat might have too much shine highlighting on the south facing sprite, makes it look like it's made of latex instead of cloth
  
• Disheveled hair style has like... weird helmet sideburns? It's hard to describe, but it makes the face seem really small
  

Major:

• The purple business suit no longer really looks like the reference outfit it was meant to match. It's supposed to be willy wonka's suit from the charlie and the chocolate factory movies, as seen in this bit of code
  
• The hard hat is too smooth and lacks the structural ridges it used to have
  

Severe and/or Buggy:

• Hair clips are invisible on the north facing sprite
  
• The north facing sprite for the hot dog suit looks like a penis. Literally.
  
• The sprites for holding a folding chair in-hand are bugged. When holding a chair in your left hand while facing east or in your right hand while facing west, there will be some very obvious graphical glitches going on. Huge gaps, weird clipping, the works.
  
• The psychedelic jumpsuit's flashing pattern is much slower than the flashing pattern on the psychedelic shorts. (I'm not sure whether the jumpsuit was slowed down and we forgot to slow down the shorts or if the slow speed on the jumpsuit is just a bug, but either way, there's clearly a consistency issue here)
  
• The new clown costume. This was the only resprite to give me a viscerally negative reaction, but it's not because the spritework is bad. They're a very good rendition of a clown but not of our clown. It's as though the soul of the clown suit was lost in the translation from one perspective to the other. Sort of like... a gritty clown reboot or something. I wish I could provide more constructive feedback, but like, there's nothing wrong with the new sprite from a technical execution standpoint. All I know is that it makes me feel sad when I look at this image: Spoiler!
