Hello! LOVING the new familiar art SO MUCH!!! I was wondering if you guys are planning on updating the base art to style match before game launch?
There was talk about it with our familiar artist, but to be honest we don’t think it’s possible. The sheer amount of artwork that would need to be redone is not cost effective nor feasible, and it would cause Clanheart to be delayed a year or more:
- 36 base images, with their shading and highlights- 360 marking images, 40 per completed species- 360 in-game dye images, 40 per completed species- 144 Kickstarter “universal” dye images, 16 per completed species
We do not want to be in a position where we delay Clanheart for over a year to redo all of this artwork, nor do we have the money to do so. It would be unreasonable to build this into our upcoming Kickstarter as it would likely double the amount of money we need while also dragging the launch date out years. We started Clanheart two years ago and are barely getting finished with completing the artwork for all nine species (this is including the two Kickstarter stretch goal species). It could very well take another two years to redo all of the work that was done.
