grimmgoblan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (sorry if this has been asked before) ever since like 2017 I've noticed that in a lot of the official artworks for niche, the nichelings don't have gems. why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnCat Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Maybe the gems where introduced later as a core idea? Or was just hard to draw. @Philo Is their a reason? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The main reason is that we always considered them more as an in-game UI element (to display actions) then part of the actual character design. But when players started posting fanart and pretty much always included the gems and also requested features to change gem colors, we realised that people actually really like them ^^ So now they are usually included! (In the plushies for example and also in the mobile game, even though there is no "UI need" for them). 4 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times like these I wish your games had game art books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philo Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 They are going to be cute We have to order at least 500 to get them made, so this definetly needs a Kickstarter. We are currently at the 6th iteration (right plushie) and the left one was the 5th iteration. There might be a 7th one with the mouth slightly lower, but not sure yet. The whole process took about a year, crazy. Prototype -> feedback -> prototype .... 2 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
