Also as a community can we please make the survivor a gypsy with the purple bandana and purple outfit? I think that would be really cool and would explain her experience with the arcane like the story we picked for her

#

They both have spider legs wdym

#

No we still have to vote for both of them. It's not set in stone yet.

Spiders are like a huge phobia (probably the most common) for people so I doubt they’d add this (im aware clown and plague are also phobias)

# tropic willow Is it?

It was for a time used as a slur against the romani people, and as a result they view it as derogatory. It wasnt ONLY that obviously though. The term itself was an exonym used by people to refer to the romani during the middle ages.

People still use it to refer to like, the archetypical romani gettup stuff. But the romani people dont like it.

I was just using it to describe wanting to make her like the fortune tellers they had in old horror movies especially like the wolf man one

It is a both beautiful and horrific looking divine being who applies judgement towards those its views as sinners. It was responsible for destroying an entire world, which the survivor originated from.

Has a ranged attack which calls a massive beam of light from the sky the moves along the ground. Survivors can accumulate "sin" by preforming different actions and interacting with "divine relics" on the map. Sin can cause them to get sent into another realm (like the void in the halloween events) which they have to escape from. Getting sent to this other realm counts as a hook and you need to escape effectively to stop the hook timer and prevent it from speeding up.

Ok I relooked at the killer's silhouette and I no way shape or form though that those were going to be legs, they look more like spinning spirals that'd spin around the killer and had something to do with it's power because in the silhouette they're floating offside the killer, now we just have a killer with wings too small for it's body and can't fly autismCry

i like the second one more because the first one is too bright and glowy and the face is too human. the second looks less cohesive and more monstrous, which i think works better as a design, and its face looks a lot better too, less like an actual face and more like a carved sculpture or some kind of mask, as well as the entire thing looking cobbled together in some twisted meeting of divine tissue and architecture. it's cool and i like it a lot.

Wait why not "The Penitent" for the killer's name/identity? (had to say identity for @deft minnow 's sake❤️ because I'm considerate. 😂)

Now, the idea of them being a Nephilim does have interesting lore implications. A half-human, half-angel sword of the cross

It's not overly cliche and it's got that darker tone for a name. Ya know? The Penitent!

fickle scarab

#

it doesn't necessarily mean it has to be half angel half human, but perhaps an interpretation of what freaky being could result from the merging of mortal and god/angel
or even, the merging of a deity and multiple mortal souls/sacrifices (especially with all the screaming face designs)

The survivors face, the killers shape and texture pallet, their backstories, the killer’s powers being a beam from the sky and touching its artifacts gives you sin which can teleport you to an alternate realm (example they gave was the void from halloween event), the survivor’s place of work, and the fact theyre an arcane investigator

Killer is a both beautiful and horrific looking divine being who applies judgement towards those its views as sinners. It was responsible for destroying an entire world, which the survivor originated from.

Has a ranged attack which calls a massive beam of light from the sky the moves along the ground. Survivors can accumulate "sin" by preforming different actions and interacting with "divine relics" on the map. Sin can cause them to get sent into another realm (like the void in the halloween events) which they have to escape from. Getting sent to this other realm counts as a hook and you need to escape effectively to stop the hook timer and prevent it from speeding up.

The survivor is a "spiritual scientist" and survivor of the destruction of their home world by the killer. They seek to learn new knowledge. We also voted for the survivor to be that of an old woman, and that her perks will be focused on the "boldness" bloodpoint category (interacting with or being near the killer).

The next voting we are gonna do tomorrow is for the final designs. Some content creators got early access to the options so weve been discussing them.

Plus the uncanny value of a terror taking the form of a humanoid is also a fear factor among people(because the grimoire describes the divine killer as being incomprehensible and taking form, meaning the design we will get isn’t its true form merely the one it chooses)

And golden faces instead of like fleshy

fickle scarab

The first one is more in line with the base silhouette and the second silhouette option which didnt win. It has these thigns floating around it but doesnt haf anything bellow its torso.

Second one is built off of the spider interpretation the community formed.

to me, the left design feels much less cohesive

fickle scarab

rough turret
#

I also really appreciate that the features that glow on the right are more minimal, which allows them to really stand out (and it's cohesive throughout the design)

where in the left, nearly the whole thing glows

#

the swirls feel a bit out of place, and I dislike that they are present only in the top half, so the balance feels off

stiff pollen
#

I really like the face of the second one, wish they could combine that with the first

fickle scarab
#

left one feels more like a nymph the more I look at it. Which I suppose is what a lot of people were saying that material that won looked like

#

imagine if we get to vote on the voice actors

#

the second one could be a vessel containing the divine being as well, which also works

fickle scarab

pointed it out already earlier but I love the detail of how it has eight wings instead of six

#

because spiders have eight legs

rough turret
#

oh yesss

humble ice

#

Or Disembodied if you will

fickle scarab
#

reminds me of dredge's concept art where they are meant to look like legs but arent legs

humble ice
#

Yeah

#

I just really like the way they look I want the legs of the first combined with the second design

fickle scarab
#

The spider concept thematically is just a lot more interesting in general

rough turret
#

also, while it can be interpreted as keeping itself put together with the bindings and webs, it could also be interpreted as something symbolic of restraint

bleak bluff
#

^^

fickle scarab
rough turret
#

I also like that it doesn't have blood, I can't put my finger on exactly why, but I feel that the blood is a tad out of place in a way

fickle scarab
#

bloody cosmetics can get creative though tbf

#

Unknown's is probably the best example

#

I mean, The Unknown's design visually changes a lot. Like it looks like its crying blood.

#

In terms of blood there is a lot of freedom to add more stuff to the look through teh bloody cosmetic is what Im getting at

rough turret
#

for sure, I just feel like for this specific design it's a bit out of place
the faces are bleeding, but then the middle area is quite clean, and then the bottom of the legs are covered

humble ice
fickle scarab
#

Interesting

rough turret
#

I also like that it kinda looks like bro found a statue and decided to wear it

humble ice
#

Yeah lol

#

Bro just went thrifting in the omniverse “mm nice statues these are mine now”

rough turret
#

lowkey me

#

the first one, the faces on the legs seem like actual human faces that it just kinda, decided to wear, for whatever reason

echo folio
rough turret
#

I don't know if it's just me, but the wearing faces idea kind of makes it seem less intimidating

humble ice
#

I just like the statue elagance it fits in my opinion

#

I could care less what’s on the statue as long as it fits

echo folio
#

That is perfectly valid

#

Good luck to your choices!

humble ice
#

Like it could have ancient symbols on the statues or it could have body horror or anything but as long as it makes sense and it’s the statue it’s fine with me

rough turret
#

the first one also feels a bit more squished together, the second one feels more balanced

humble ice
#

I like the second design overall

#

I just want the disconnected statue legs😭

violet void

The giant face is better ngl

I like the right one more. I’d love the have the left one’s legs on the right one

#

Because the disconnected legs

Are amazing

tropic willow

The feathers on the legs just make it kinda too cluttered imo

logistically the right one is more likely to get less skins then the left one

#

Ngl i wanted spider legs but wanted a non human head. I wish we had more input on these designs when comes to votes

marble gulch
#

Really sad that the legs are connected :( feels like a depature of the original concept that was a BIG part of the design

tropic willow
#

Or at least had one change your fate option when comes to the designs

I also honestly am tired of everything getting hit with the mystery goop/gore and vicera, like let us have something a bit more stone or mechanical like!

It isn’t biological or natural it’s created from an incomprehensible being it shouldn’t look super natural

left one looks more biblical than the right one, the right one looks like it'll have the animation style of waternoose from monster's inc

humble ice
#

To be honest

#

Neither of them look that biblical they just have wings and body horror

#

They look like body horror seraphim with one less pair of wings

marble gulch
#

i dont even care for biblical, there are so many ways to design the devine without christianity involved but this feels like 4 different directions at once and all of them are half assed

humble ice
#

Divine doesn’t have to be biblical

tropic willow
#

Left one looks angelic but i was hoping for less humanoid or at least a less defined gender like how unknown is

white summit
#

I'm sorry I'm never unseeing the fact that the right one will run like waternoose 😭 plus with the disconnected arms and stuff on the right one makes me think they're barely going to make any skins

humble ice
#

They better make skins

marble gulch

If they dont make skins. 100% should have a category in the community contest for community made ones separate from the other killer vote

But honestly I think dbd will jump on poppy playtime and I don’t see why MOB wouldn’t want a license since project playtime completely flopped so we’ll probably get arachnid legs eventually

#

If not poppy playtime they’re doing it eventually

#

They said they aren’t doing spider killers but one with legs like that isn’t off the table

white summit
#

there's a spider killer in the archives they could add as a future killer, it has the head of a spider a male torso I forgot if the legs were human or spider legs

tropic willow

#

the spider stuff isnt really important right? like were talking about how the siluette is misleading and not the age old debate if they impliment a spider killer

fickle scarab
humble ice
tropic willow
#

Tbh i legitimately dont know which killer to vote for i dont like either as a whole and only like aspects of both

humble ice
#

When we already have other killers that can trigger wide spread phobia

white summit
#

yeah no the silhouette is def misleading, I'm just saying they were going to have a spider killer join the fog at one point but then didn't because too many people with arachnophobia were against it EVEN THOUGH they added space spiders in the toba landing map

tropic willow
#

All i know is if this survivor combo doesnt win imma crash out

Also Hag has a spider cosmetic. I doubt arachnephobia has anything to do with it.

I like the upper body of the second but everything else from the first like the halo, wings and legs

That asside though, its clear to me that the silhoette was not intended to have those things be legs. However the community interpretting them that way lead spider themed design becoming an option.

humble ice
#

Unrelated but another dream collab for dbd is pirates of the Caribbean. Specifically with Jack Sparrow(obvs) and calypso as a survivor. calypso has great perk potential and would be a cool survivor in her human form

white summit
#

I think the survivor outfit that doesn't win should be a shop outfit we could get

humble ice
#

Yes

marble gulch
#

esp since the votes are usually 40/60 if not even closer, meaning a BIG part of the playerbase likes the one that didnt win

white summit
echo folio
#

I think it is worth considering but always? Let's get through one successful grimoire

frosty mural
#

This is probably ideal for base skin

#

Would like no hat to be a skin though

white summit
#

If the flail wins I hope the animation for it isn't the plagues animation but more rigid, and if the staff wins does the killer poke with the end of the staff, twirl it like the Trickster's bat, or does a beam come from the staff to attack the survivor

#

I'm just thinking about the logical aspects because I know to not expect much from bhvr

echo folio
#

Really hoping the chain or staff weapon win over the axe / hatchet option only because those need more love and a few killers have axes / hatchets

tropic willow

Best you can do is try making an outfit that looks like it with the cosmetics he has unfortunately

If we don't get those, I'm not buying

#

Like legit, I'm not buying the chapter if we don't get them

inner comet
#

the ball & chain weapon would be SO good.. need the purple outfit for granny, & honestly the killer design could be either or imo

mellow wadi
#

The left one looks the most like an angel

tropic willow
# mellow wadi If we don't get those, I'm not buying

Doubt it but might be a free chapter like how the community cosmetics are but who knows. Since first time doing these also i agree on the weapon but tbh idk which killer looks wise i dont like their. Like parts of but dont like either as a whole

mellow wadi
#

It's the wings for me

#

And just the overall design of the angel

graceful gazelle
#

we need to be allowed to go back to the material vote cause i wanna see what the other options wouldve looked like smh

tropic willow
mellow wadi
#

Honestly, I hate the fleshy

tropic willow
mellow wadi
#

The one on the left has the least amount of it, and it also incorporates it in a way that I actually like

#

The one on the right though? Abysmal

Those wings are atrocious

That would have looked weird

I was hoping for angelic wings like an actual angel, which is why I got so excited over the left one

tropic willow

Understandable, I'm voting left because it's perfect in my eyes

#

Absolutely perfect

tropic willow
#

Wish they gave us more options tbh. Or like we vote on different body parts like head, torso, wings, legs, etc which is what they SHOULD have done

#

Just feel like we didnt have much say in either of the character design wise outside of their lore at the start

#

Like idk was just a big disappointment with how they ended up doing the appearances when came to how we picked. Felt like they already had end products in mind that we picked from as opposed to actually making the designs as a community

toxic sail

When can we vote ?

crude rivet

if we vote for the bandanna i bet they will make different colors and we can do the 4 ninja turtles as the grandma, kinda like how dwight can do mario and luigi

mellow wadi
#

Which weapon and which killer design do you think is going to win?

#

Just based off of the DBD community and what the most likely outcome is

echo folio
#

Based off the community for most likely.. The axe or chain

echo folio
tropic willow
#

Ik the head is ass but didnt know how to proportion it right with the limited space given but woulda liked a more combined version of the two with a non human face (a floating mask would of also been nice)

echo folio
#

I really like this version

echo folio
#

The combined version

tropic willow
#

I just want the torso from the one on the right on the other one is my biggest issue i have with the two designs.

tropic willow
#

The head on the two atm im just not into either. A floating mask would even be better imo

sleek flax
#

IMO, i think i like the staff the most, and the design with the more angelic bright wings the most for tyhe killer. i dont really like either outfit for the survivor and like the one with the least headpieces on it the most

short whale
#

Everyone on Reddit doesn't like the deisgns. They blame it on people who voted humanoid. As a humanoid voter, I still think humanoid could be good, it's just the designs we were given aren't good. They're too detailed imo. I think it should be more androgynous, and maybe not even have a face at all

sleek flax

I know BHVR loves their meat. Gotta have every killer be meaty but I'd love if the angel was just pure and clean

Did the same thing to the >:( Singularity skin

modest gull
tropic willow
#

I like aspects of both but hate both as wholes

tropic willow
sleek flax
#

I think they want characters, "meaty" as they want the entity to have direct contact with them. and for non huimans it would be through physical means

short whale
#

I like the feather design of #2 and the glowy hands. I think they should dial back the meatiness of the wings

tropic willow
modest gull
#

2 is overall better and fits the lore more compared to the 1st design.

tropic willow
#

But i dont like the rest of it besides the random webs on it

#

Wish theyd just give us more options for the killer tbh

short whale
#

If the 2 we have are the only options, I'm def voting #2

modest gull
#

Same.

tropic willow
#

At least the community will probably fix it with some dope skins in the future

short whale
tropic willow
#

Im fine with meatifying i just dont like its almost always humanoid

short whale
#

I honestly think the materials we were given were kinda the problem

#

They're too busy and cluttered

#

Do we really need like 4 colours jammed in?

#

I think the blue is too much personally

#

Just my opinion

#

I'd be happier if it was just white + yellow + meat

#

Are we sure we can't convince BHVR to go back to a different colour scheme?

native crypt
#

I lowkey thought the angel wasn't gonna have a weapon.

#

Besides that. I think the first one of the angel looks better...

Fits with the theme a lot imo

gaunt dawn
#

With the survivor options I dont know why we cant have both, both are great

#

skins, skins give us options

with killer its going to be a bit tougher

With the killer our options fundamentally change the feel of the killer, not even in a minor way but a major way

I just needed to know that the best killer and survivor won 🥹

currently the community is torn between the killer design because of how different they are, some want more of the red fleshyness, others want more blue, some want the angel to look more visceral while others want the killer to be more ethereal

wispy crypt

Killer options were all good but I want a fan of most of the survivors

gaunt dawn

So far practically everything Ive ever wanted won

Ive never won this much

I think a more ethereal design is nice but ofc this is dbd and flesh leaking out of literally everything is a common theme LMAO

This so far has gone over far better than minecraft mob votes

part of it is unlike minecraft, these concepts they said they might revisit in the future. Plus we have voted every step of the way. This was for more complex

I do hope they revisit some of these

Hotly debated between the 2 killer designs. I personally like the more ethereal look

#

Everyone has their own idea on what the killer should be. and we havent even covered the weapon in this particular string of convo

If they go with the ethereal design they need to make it work in dark areas and actually scary

the weapon type you choose is going to be more important than the details of it because of the implication of skins

the choices are from left to right, Hammer, Flail, staff

wispy crypt

So we have a flesh hammer, a flail, and a battle axe staff thing

gaunt dawn

Im going with staff personally

Yeah I like the staff

gaunt dawn

staff looks regal

Flail would have been nice if it like

Wasn't a flail

gaunt dawn

you are not the only one at a glance who thought it was a different kind of staff

#

flail and staff are the most debated among so far

#

hammer does not seem popular overall, with many saying it just doesnt fit the killer based on its concept

wispy crypt
#

Yeah I cant imagine that thing beating people with a sledge hammer

gaunt dawn

Although my choice is staff, I have to admit, I really like the faces on the flail

I wish the faces on the flail were on the legs of option 1 killer

I just dont like the fleshy bits, its too safe

I do wish it was all blue instead of red though, blue, white, gold, something more akin to a deep rift skin

gaunt dawn
#

the eyes on the wings are so much more subtle, it just blends in too much with the fleshyness

the only unfixable things would be its weapon really, so its important to pick the right weapon
