art direction

[Error302]

i REALLY don't like to give critiques on art direction because i am not an artist an 99% of the time people asking for artistic changes are bad faith actors with bad intentions but i'm going to allow myself just this one time.
please, i beg you, make your goblins more goblin-y.
especially right now goblins/goblin waifus are very popular and while what a goblin is is a topic open to a lot of artistic interpretation the general consensus is that goblins are:
shortstacks with huge like bat ears
manic/gremliny voice
just barely civilized/tribal
the idea of a barely civilized short green maniac in maid clothes, undertrained and tasked with cleaning a deadly dungeon is a GENUINELY FUNNY IDEA and you should absolutely run with this.
but the goblins as they stand now are just... too conventionally handsome/beautiful. you have made SMALL GREEN ELVES when you promised GOBLINS and it's just.... such a missed opportunity.
look at how like lines sensei draws goblins, or iwillBUCKyou, or hell even blizzard style goblins, even honey goblin the vtuber. lots and lots of variations of the goblin archetype.

but maybe i'm crazy. maybe i'm the only one here who prefers his goblins this way.
but please, at the very least like put up a poll and see what people think because i really think proper goblin-y goblins will be a good draw.

Absolutely! But rather than copying a design (like the one from Looterkings one post up), I'd rather the devs came up with their own, original idea.

They did. You're complaining about it because you can only picture goblins as 90's era filler mobs.

I also prefer ugly goblins ("so ugly they're cute" usually). I agree the devs should go with whatever they like. The art direction in general is great. But I'm throwing my hat in with the idea that it would be EXCELLENT to have ugly goblin be an option in customization upon full release.

This game is an instant buy for me as is though.

i just think the skin should be more green. it's a bit too light/ pale that they look more like short elves than goblins

[gator]

No.

[Bamboot]

don't confuse your own preferences and experience with content to be 'general consensus'

[gator]

The consensus is irrelevant. The goblins are not to be changed. This is beyond contestation.

This isn't the game for you it seems. There are plenty of other games on steam that have that weird, creepy, incel-ly vibe you're going for. Try one of those, instead of complaining about a good art style and a nice break from your creepy vision of what a goblin should be.

[Hex]

Tbf there's going to be character creation so maybe you can make that? We don't know yet.

Regardless i prefer waifu gobbos~♡

I mean if I wanted gross goblins I'd launch TeS.

I honestly can't believe this topic is still going. I don't think most people have even really understood the OP at all, and I am surprised there are so many people advocating for prefab game engine waifu model green elves.

I personally feel like the game is missing a mark that would dramatically boost popularity and all it really would take is having the option for the goblins to be short and stacked.

I think that OP wanted goblins to look more realistic (if not ugly).

What do you mean realistic? Which real goblins should they look like?

[TheLegendaryTim]

Not going to lie, I'm totally fine with the waifu version of goblins. Don't get me wrong the messed up looking "typical" goblin is great and all but it's more of a vibe choice I think. They went light on the evil and gore and more fun and cutesy.

If you want ugly goblinas you can go to Twitter. There are different blue and green haired ones lurking around that place. Leave this game alone please.
