When will game devs learn this

If your game has ugly unlovable characters - people will not play it, because, you guessed it people have eyes and your vision is your most detailed sharp sense. And don't hit me with the in development bull the concept art and designs are already here, no amount of polish is gonna make a bad design good the characters are what theyre gonna be in the final game- ugly and unlovable, the only reason this is excused so much is because when you boot up the game you see the valve logo on the screen. Don't be mistaken this effect is only gonna last so long with the way the playercount has been dropping weekly despite the huge youtube coverage with people as huge as penguinz and a bunch of other streamers praising the game I predict the playercount is gonna stay at around 10k most of which are gonna be toxic russians and tryhards effectively making the game totally unplayable. I've only seen people care about 4 characters - Abrams (because he was literally made for gay porn), Vindicta (because she has bare feet), Paradox (because she has wide hips) and Ivy (because shes a loli furry). These art designers need to understand that the concepts that work in illustration do not work in 3d models. Ugly weird faces and huge big, medium, small shapes only work when theyre rendered with a painterly style in 2d I know it got hammered into your head in art school but when you apply them to 3d models in a videogame it looks disgusting. No amount of writing or "mechanics" is gonna make a game thats total visual torture to look at good unless your target audience are people with obsessive mental illnesses like the factorio players. Valve is the biggest pc gaming company they have unlimited funds and supposedly hire the best of the best and the best they can do is a bunch of travelling carnaval freak designs? I don't even get how this game came to be the studio supposedly has a free love approach to work and developers can choose what to work on so why is valve chasing multiplayer game trends instead of creating historic really technically impressive games that sit in the gaming hall of fame. All you had to do is wrap up the half life series and at this point even if the games werent as good as the classics you would forever be cemented as legends. Also one last thing the fact that you actually used authentic 1860s clothing as a reference doesn't make the design good it makes it bland and uninteresting.

the slime guy seems to be relatively well liked too

that being said i think some designs are alright, some other are so uninspired they should straight up be gutted and replaced with some error texture until better ideas

idk how they made grey talon and thought "nice, good, let's show it to the players"

A valve rider is pretty much the same as an AI poster so I just suggest automating your job instead of tiring out you little fingies typing all that out.

Literally no multiplayer games right now have good art-design; not sure what the OP is even trying to communicate, trolling or not.

Also the characters looks has nothing to do with the low player count; if anything...making more pornographic / more cartoonish looking 3D models would increase the player count ever-so slightly.

Weird post.

So real not a single one of the thousands of multiplayer games out there have good art design including valves own team fortress 2 that has been slobbered for 10 years now that it's one of the best visually designed games ever. Ur really smart.

Says Wraith has bare feet lmao man hasn't even played the game.

I'm sorry that youre a misogynist or like men. Might I suggest downloading grindr where you'll meet "like minded" men so you don't have to get mad over people having different opinions to you, like for example wanting things to not be rancid looking :).
