sorry I already gave you this earlier
i am becoming die of spoilern't
you also got
We were told roughly 71% of the update was finished last week, which js roughly 13 months total of work since the last update
Using this we can mathematically conclude that the update will release in 5 months with a flex of 100 years in either direction
this was not actually a spoiler ☝️ 🤓
This one
not counts by the words of Sunny
Proof?
source: i said so
why wait for spoilers when you can make your own fake spoilers (like gauss nuke bow) by yourself 
gauss nuke clock work bow
true
i cant believe i forgot the name of my own creation
I remember when someone reported me to the devs
for being a rogue dev leaking concepts
(this was two and a half years ago before I was a dev)
(it was my weapon rework mod videos)
im like gaster but instead of falling into my creation i forget about my creation
you can fulfill the prophecy now
Our fate is now in your hands, doze
wow, i dont see how it's different
You can be the true rogue dev
for example heres a totally real wip screenshot of biofusillades resprite, which will be profaned themed
into the rogue mines you go
i am already climbing into my grave as we speak
Random Google screenshot of dog
Phase one theme- "Scourge of The Universe"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Syn1mJVt7U
Phase two theme- "UNIVERSAL COLLAPSE"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opvuEVpl_PM
both themes by DM DOKURO
damn, didn't know DoG was purple
lost media found!!!!
i think its a different effect for when he doesnt have contact dmg
finish this and post it to reddit 
you dont even have to claim that its an official sprite, they'll assume it themselves
The red nation would explode
dog is a lot less brighter
thats true
ill just title it
"biofusillade"
and nothing else
lol
tell them that this is replacing the yharon resprite 
HOYLY LAG DURING LASER GRIDS
classic
no
he always has contact dmg except in the phase transition iirc
then what is it meant to be
are we even allowed to know what the image is supposed to mean
tru
devourer of rogue devs
@ shade you are in danger
Shade getting all the whiplashes as we speak 😢
i amt die
whats the point of vagueposting if u dont get to hold it over people's heads and not tell them what it actually means
I’m curious about the concepts that were scrapped for the SSO
What critters and enemies got the axe
giant clam has 4 scrapped resprites
SSO development has been an absolute mess I can't wait for this era to be behind us
part 2: 
😨
part 2 is probably gonna be tackled better than this
No no not like resprites I mean like
"probably"
Entire concepts that got shot down
Sir Nautilus technically
true……..
Yeah…
all of fables?
Since main dev dog is going to fucking die, what was he like?
i wouldnt say sso is all that bad
we’re very active and talk deeply about what were doing and why were doing it
i havent seen many dev teams as active as this one is tbh
...what other things have you worked on
like yea we’ve had our stumps and hurdles but thats just what teams like thjs go through
you mean projects or things within sso
Projects
They've been working on a LOT, If i remember correctly shayy stated at one point that the sso changelog is like 6k characters long or something
its a lot to list
cit has posted images of the changelogs character n word count before
Very unfortunate wording
I was not aware of that actually
ancients awakened i started at in 2018 thats what rlly brought my tmod music stuff together
then joined mod of redemption and shadows of abaddon
made my own project endless escapade too eventually
i also work with heartlplusup on vanilla calamity music
SSO's development hasn't been bad in a "holy shit we're murdering each other" way
and many other various things its too much to type
It's been a "we're figuring out how the fuck to handle this kind of update on the fly" way
Ooooo neat
Oh nevermind its 21k characters, most likely even more
eh i think we’ll be fine
its huge but things r slowly coming to place
Okay fab is undisputedly a bad team leader, no need to beat a dead horse, but did he seriously not give you like. Any direction on how the update should go beyond 'rework sunken sea', or how is that to be understood?
its just a lot of content
We've always had a direction we wanted it to go towards not because of Fab but it was hard to organize everything and understand how exactly we should work as a team to accomplish such a thing
Basically half of SSO was just figuring out how to organize things and attuning with each other to better work together
It wasn't just making content, it was improving how the team as a whole worked
Changelog n-word count is wild
Okay yup it's officially 100k characters larger than Draedon Update
Love fish
🫧 🐡
alright i yield
even if draedon changelog was up to modern standards, it would be shorter 
But what if fish YURI
Even with all the missing stuff that has been added to the changelog over the years
Anahita and Leviathan
erm
SSO part 1 has become the calamity update
The most calamitous update
Calamity 2
what a calamity
The next medium update after SSO part 1 should be “How Calamitous”
If that don’t happen, the Clamity economy collapses
maybe in some aspects, the harvest was not bountiful
bountiful harvest weapons are quite peak
but bountiful harvest hive mind makes me want to introduce my face to a belt grinder
incoherent development which needs to be resolved with more focused, smaller updates in the future
calamity hedges on gigantic updates that change a bunch of spread out things a little
Huh
and adding content all at once throughout the game
all of the weapon reworks & the hell generation changes couldve been its own mid-sized update
the changenotes resemble a constellation chart more than a changelog
cause this is a lot of reworked stuff and there's definitely more that just hasnt been mentioned yet
I think the devs can handle their update schedule better now that they're all working together and not under the cruel hammer of fabsol
tbf sunken sea ovverhaul was scope creeped to oblivion partially due to the fact that developers couldn't really work on what they actually wanted to work on b4
so they just did random stuff they could work on instead
which lead to yk
50000 weapon reworks
I know what will be in there 
This
and now everyone has that shit out of their system lol
It's not SHIT
It was gonna happen eventually
That's how the creative process goes
From the sound of it, they've definitely figured out a system now
amen
And according to them, ozz is a far better team player
upcoming updates will probably be much less scope creeped into oblivion
As far as I'm aware, fabsol was not behind the sunken sea overhaul being the direction we went in
can’t wait for calamity to become compatible with this for whatever ungodly reason
Yeah
this was a huge part of it
cant wait to recreate exo plating alloy in game 
We were not ready to work on SSo
Iirc another dev mentioned that he got in the way at times
Could be telephone'd though
he got in the way of things but did not specifically push something afaik
iirc fabsol had a tendency to insist on certain changes, design, mechanics even if they were objectively kinda bad
according to like two people i’ve talked to
he was much more of a "will just veto ideas" than "will push others to do his thing"
And for changes he wanted, he usually did them himself
which is how malice and master death mech bosses became a thing
the great tester wall
Where are you…? Come to my embrace, Sunken Sea Overhaul!
Where… where are… I can hear your voice. Oh, please…
Still pretty unfortunate
mf was zanzo
oh
I can’t help but hate Fabsol fym all he did was go “I don’t want this waaa”
No no
i remember its because entire biome having the same color palette is bad and that it needs a rework
He also made shitty bosses
pretty much the catalyst for SSO
wayback
before draedon

Chat everyone knows all tundra animals are white because of the snow
Hence sso is completely unnecessary
Thank you
what about moose?
Sunny is reworking the archerfish line too right?
if it isnt in changelogs, it isnt on here
Thosewhonose

arsenal weapons:
💥
everything present in changelogs about theme is there, and nothing more
except taser i guess i missed that one in the crowd
there we go
Current arsenals actually look so alike I thought it's duplicated
If I'm not mistaken, there are 4-6 things missing here, but I could be wrong, there really are a lot of them
which ones
Non-changelogs items moment
I'm wondering if they're here and I'm just blind
cup of the blood god and ambergris of leviathan which dashes now make
Fake animal
those were just resprites
and not on the changelogs
at least they will remake ambra and I have already seen her dash
chalice is getting changes but it's not a rework
but finding it now... will be another challenge...
and ambergris has not been mentioned in changelogs
Not in the changelogs
Chalice is just getting a UI

"cup of the blood god" is also a hilarious way of saying it
Ye
I haven't actually followed on what ambergris does
chalice getting resprited into one of those red solo cups
peak
by the way... I was interested.. it seems like you and Vanillin were online when I sent Yaron.. and I'm wondering if you saved it for yourself?
I don't remember when it was, but it was a long time ago
What will the rage bar look like
Who knows
,_, why did calamity become so creepy
I don't think new Rage and Adrenaline will be in SSO
cool
imagine if the acc's just "blood in a cup"
this person has not seen nuclear terror
I didn't quite understand why this was said
issa joke
hah I threw screenshots of him here
Are we not getting the Tier 1 arsenal weapon resprites this update
we are but the changelog hasnt mentioned it
and probably wont because of the evil yuh corporation
the aurafarm sword remains
the wooden sword
what if there was blood
the cardboard
What in the fuck
his mom wouldnt let him have a real sword
lol
not to like write dev opinions into law but
what's the status on the tier swaps rn?
Lemme see if I can find the misc accessory resprites Dia made
its nuclear terror
Was it Dia?
yeah
Ye
nuclear terror as far as i know
Fake spoiler 
They done turned clamty into a horror game dawg
like, extractinating blood-related accs for blood orbs or smth?
oh
No he said Regenator specificially
dont worry its just probably an alien parasite egg from the moon using someone as a host
hopefully if this is scrapped we got sth even better lined up
Oh okay casual
those wings looking stuff are its lungs iirc
This is just a resprite
you dont have to repost every screenshot you have btw
that's a resprite, not a rework
also yeah chalice already got reworked like ages ago
I do (but I can't)
500 dustspam
I am the kind of person for whom resprite and rework = the same thing since most often rework was just resprite in my practice
resprite and rework are not the same
I find it a little difficult to perceive this
It's not the same
Those 2 have different meanings
I understand, but I'm already used to understanding it this way
atk that I can't be fixed
Here they are
Yes, and I am from Russia, here we would call it - rebalance or - changes
Surely it's not something permanent
why is aureus naked
Perspective can changed
getting ready for a shower
The way you perceive and understand things can definitely changed
(That thing is basically aureus walk test)
vro they're gonna kill sg
/j
Nah
😨 ❓
hence /j
but still... there are not enough things from the list of reworks here and I would personally add them here but this is just an opinion
Is this confirmed?
shouldve never made this image
What is Slime God?
who's slime god?
wow this is awesome confirmation 
I'm being gaslit help
it's gaslamp*
again, only the changelogs are counted
Fuc u
we gaslamp people now
Your the snail
sorry but kiri always loses
where is slime god
its written in the law
why is slime god
I hope Astrum Deus gets changed like entirely
I'm not sure if any of these things you sent in the second image were Reworked
Wha why
deus retier based?
the image only includes reworks
This is so ass 🥀
to be honest, I'm already getting confused... in the fact that it wasn't me who composed it + it's not my native language... it's complicated...
iron boots is the only one, i think. sand cloak got a couple changes but not enough to count as a rework
It only counts things in #changelogs channel
because of changing plans n' stuff
Pretty sure Sand Cloak is a rework now that you mention it
The only thing needs to be considered is that they haven't appeared in changelogs yet
hasn't iron boots?
thanks for being a little more specific
Old Duke's Scale got reworked
yeah it has
ehhhhh
it's still the same thing, it only got the activation method changed
freaky cannon
death
very magnomolous
this is better
Cok cannon
these arent even the same thing 😭
one is a gun the other is a mount
deleting in case taken ooc
Is that a tank
No, it's a robot vacuum cleaner.
I wonder how it will obtainable
reddit would have an uproar if it was shown there
I've made dangerous red nation propaganda
most likely it would be cheap in terms of crafting but very fast
What
maybe artemis and apollo since they only have 2 drops idk
I think it won't be explained in any way, it will just be written in the description - the dreydon was bored
1 imposter...
I think I've been listening to Calamity and Terraria music for the 4th month in a row now, it's a bit too much...
wait...
Old Duke's Scale infact did not get reworked in SSO...
I was reading through changelogs and didn't realized that was in 2023...
it got reworked ages ago
When was the last major update ever released?...
may of last year
a little over a year ago
and what was in this update?
!wiki 2.0.4.001
read up
The harvest has been bou-
Wait most things that added in BH are gone now aren't it
2.0 was in 2022
no?
unless youre referring to boss changes
but BH did so much more than boss changes
I see Lucille in the chat and I wonder if there will be a replacement for the god eater in Inferium with a new texture?
Clearly all of bountiful harvest got reverted
it was always just boss content nothing else was added /j
doesn't exist wdym
i think the chances are about 0.02%
I am interested in seeing what infernum does with DS once 2.1 releases
Harvest staff ❤️ ❤️
I love you ❤️
but that'll be something that we see in time
right he is no longer worm
Worms don't have legs
short right
Less worm
Name one worm with legs
Sepulcher
Jeff
No those are bugs
I spent 600 tries on Devourer of Gods... I like it and I wouldn't want it to change
lizard
That's not DS
I would gladly order a plush toy in the form of him, 10 meters long
IM SAYING
I think there's three options
Either A. the boss just stays how it's always been, old sprite and all, B. it just absorbs the new sprite and doesn't bother to change the AI, or C. it gets a new AI
Wutever the case, I'll get in touch with Javyz about how we wanna proceed when that day arrives where it becomes a concern
Calling a millipede a worm is not correct though that would be like calling a snake a worm
B is pretty much not possible
isn't a worm literally defined as not having limbs
unless it rebalances for being like
worm but it has legs
Much shorter
Shhh
Semantically broaden your world view vro...
probably what, a third of the size?
I am drop kicking you into the sun
youre a millipede
💔
calling a millipede a worm is like saying a lizard is a shark
sorry for putting my ideas in, so to speak, but... it's better not to touch it.. it's perfect and any interference, it seems to me, will kill it or you'll have a lot of work
Hi
Scientists on their way to name shit whatever they want off of vibes
its brown and long so it must be a worm
Nothing is perfect
average tmod player when change happens
Truth..
That's a worm though that is impersonating a snake
change, in MY calamity mod?!?!??!?!?!?!
by the way.. I would like to clarify one thing with you in private messages if possible of course
Sonic hedgehog protien
Lizard
Oh my goodness it's DS irl
wow, it's desert scourge
Somebody snail react this individual
Didn't infernum stop development?
You are welcome
Thanks king
Now I am drop kicking you into the sun
💔
It still ports and bug fixes
DS will entirely break so they'll have to figure something out with the port
Won't like most of the boss fixes being done break infernum?
In the future
Especially with bosses being potentially moved and what not
not really
DS specifically will because of the segment and sprite changes
Infernum can just use the same fight but adjust damage and HP for retiers
Movement would be an issue
most sprites won't completely change the boss
me fighting infernum Perforators post moon lord:
Infernum overrides base AI
(it's underwhelming as fuck suddenly)
yeah you can't just turn a PHM boss into a PML one through stat changes alone
and vise versa
GOD I want this
Dragonfolly and Evil2 honestly could easily work in flipped places
Master Mode is dogwater in Calamity (i assume this is a joke)
Tbh I feel like eventually Infernum will become obsolete as the base mod changes so much
you mean obsolete?
oh wait
Dragonfolly with prehm movement 🔥 🔥
Infernum when they go we are done and then calamity remakes 90% of their mod
perforators not having worms anymore in 2 years
Vanilla will replace Perforator as a boss
😊
we've found it, we've found the final boss of hating change
I don't understand what you're talking about because there are translation difficulties
simply make every boss into a worm boss, and then double every worm boss that already exists
Double it and give it to the next person
whatever, go my reskins
we need more worms
no we dont 😭
hmm.. it seems to me or the developers of Terraria itself love slugs and the developers of Calamity worms..
what i'm saying is
sorry for putting my ideas in, so to speak, but... it's better not to touch it.. it's perfect and any interference, it seems to me, will kill it or you'll have a lot of work
it's a horrific mentality
YES
I can't even
...now I've seen it all
True
I think there are 23 or 26 of them in Calamity... even if you count those that have a worm-like structure
Calamity mod but it adds one segement to every worm every 5 seconds
hm...
mod that adds a worm segment to every enemy every 5 seconds
embed fail

best mod for playing with calamity
Wormlamity
whatever. Go my aureus worm
Also YuH jumpscare
Why the minions aren't a worm😡
they're in a worm row,,,,
they are
I'm waiting for ares in the form of a worm
mechdusa
does that mean enemy fireballs are also worms
hekate
those are also npcs
worm-like mechduza.. sounds like a final boss
When shayy vanity
in fact, the whole world is one solid worm..
starts mining
the world just up and leaves you in space
floating island worm
I think it's time for the developers of Calamity and Terraria to add a king worm slime where each segment is a separate slime
that would be great
king worm
king slime worm
Supreme high worm
nah just king worm
MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE
devourer of uhhhhhh
All of them worms compiled into one
with perferator hive as the head segment
no to hell... that's enough of your calamity for today
its peak... maybe ill do this while waiting for sso
pbg worm should be called
Pb&j
I won't be able to fall asleep just looking at this now
I just need to talk him into it
...him...
it's her
ig translator might mess it up but she's a woman
yeah I've seen some translators screw up gender sometimes
I do know finnish has only one third-person gender neutral pronoun and no others
they got wokeness built in...
Brb canceling Google for having anti gender translations
doesn't google offer you 2 versions for those anyway
these damn TRANSLATORS are getting rid of my GENDER
Finnish people are immune to misgendering............
here the problem of accurate translation is already with the translator... he changes the words in places and sometimes even the meaning of the word to its synonym, which is very annoying
makes sense
they're so real for this ong
Like Chalice of the Blood God -> Cup of the Blood God
yes... in our school they taught the language terribly for the last 6 years of my education and the basics from grades 1-3 are clearly not enough
Mug of the blood god
with 1# best god written on it
oof, unfortunate
Wait cook
I roughly understand what a person is writing when I translate, but right now I'm sleepy and a little too lazy to think
go off
ravager master mode pet
post this in calval suggs
I need this now
infernal blood resprite+rename
Bloodstone bitch-getting motorbike is #1 for me
true but that isn't feasible at all idt
Speaking of blood chalice
Horn of Plenty when
its bitchgetting capabilities are too powerful to be implemented...
True, if it's for calamity
Ripoff Ares Worm, what a shame
Calamity players are immune to getting bitches

Banned
😔
You saw the side of him...
Ares is approaching to you in 3
awful
Now I wonder how Ares looks like from below
I am going to bomb ares
@silk terrace hey I don't think Lucille has done this before
true
Ares dating sim boss fight
Make sideways ares real and my life is yours
my thanatos baseball bat idea still has promise i think
only if we get to add auric baseball bat
the w h a
Miracle Matter Baseball Bat
ares uses thanatos as a baseball bat, A&A are the baseballs
team up attack
Can you play baseball with the exo mechs?
scout mains spotted
Can we make Exos do a Chain attack
Can we make ares drink bonk
ares now has photon ripper , done
I meant the Xenoblade 1 Style
nope too late
The nuke is the “think fast chucklenuts” flashbang
Why does ares here looks like hes about to sing about the mimic, how difficult it was to put the pieces together, how it all went so wrong, and how he cant stop singing this stupid song
my name is ares
My name is Ares, I made the mimic
it was difficult to put the pieces together
But unfortunately, something went so wrong
any found memory leaks other than abyss wall glow
the new profaned guardians resprite having arms is definitely interesting
pictures?

khamugelion
I think an evangelion thing
Same thing the danger shape is from i think
ramiel my beloved... would be funny if profaned healer was just ramiel
but orange ofc
RAHHH I LOVE SACHIEL RAHH
Spoiler
Cheese is being removed from calamity
Literally untrue... fake and false

what are the angels
ramiel my beloved
idk im not a dev so illl see whats getting cooked up when it gets to that point
zagzagel has a cool name so i like them
Oh you mean evangelion angels
evangelion is the only reference u will ever need fr
kirby
there r 2 references u might need
Wasn't there one that was a giant black ball with a ✨fractal noise✨ texture on it?
Oh! Lelial, that's a neat name
i do NOT remember sahaquel being that big
I love the one that's just a ring of X's-
Just by design alone, Armisael might have to take the spot as my favorite
Oh you chose the pregnancy demon

E M E M E M E M—
Eminem
that fat fucking mancubus from doom, that's what
It was the satelite one..
Its main attack method was falling into earth and destroying japan with the contact
(Chungus guy)
Sahaquiel is one of the ones i would use as a ref (mostly for defender guardian)
cause i remember the eye being the same size ish as the evas
Big hands.. that could fuse into a shield when it cross its hands together
There is not a sahaquiel gif..
They are the size of his iris..
creeepyy
Isnt his name zeruel
Or is that like a translation thing..
Its zeruel yea
Epic image fail
I think its missing the volcano guy
when im in a doing nothing competition and my opponent is Gaghiel
Sandalphon yea
its not real. its not real. its not real. its n
also dont diss my boy gaghiel
hes awesome. hes a fish.
aha maybe aha maybe
ramiel is the goat
cool design doe... the current guardians could def use having more personality and distinctive traits between them
i have faith in triangle...
triangle save the guardians...
The current guardian designs aren't really bad but they feel very indistinct to me
i mean
Likeee they don't really feel much as a trio of individual bosses as much as they just feel like i dunno, a particularly tough enemy
there's a reason profaned donut is the only food item in the mod
they look like donuts
i forgor they got resprited
chat am i cooked
yes
you're washed...

It's hard to make a sentient pile of floating rocks look cool
I mean that has nothing to do with what i asid
It does though
The profaned guardians are floating rock things
It's hard to design floating rock things
im just gonna post this image so people can refer to it
I mean that's still not what i said
I didn't say the design is bad i just asid they're very indistinct from eachother, they don't have much personality
I didn't say they were bad either
I said they're floating rocks
And it's hard to design floating rocks
Makes sense that they're so similar
I mean them being rocks or not dosen't really have to do with it imo
You can still have them having different silhouettes and such
either way tho i think they ought not to be identical aside from very slight detail changes
it'd be way more interesting if they were, like, very distinct
lol pokeball head (i'm so original)
Rral
Also what's up with providence and the guardians all looking like they have like a pelvis
Unironically, you could replace them with Altraxia's pre-ascension designs and they'd probably look better
They will be really distinct
W
Like what's up with that
yeah wth
they all have these pelvis things
They all look like they were supposed to be like humanoid but their arms and legs were ripped out, judging by the shape of the torso and the weird pelvis
mind you, this doesnt look terrible, its just funny that they seemingly have visible pelvis
Rocks and roots
Cultists of providence probably got purified and turned into those things
They are just mini providence thingamajimbos
little creachurs...
Not much tought on the design besides that
Yeah the guardians are basically just mini providence designwise
that's not what the guardians are
the guardians are provi's friends from their former adventuring party
Triangl... Sea angels for sunken sea
Commander has a little stabby knife on its chest, i guess. Defender has a shield crest on its chest. Healer has. crystals. i guess.
Do you know who looks humanoid besides a weird pelvis and not having arms/ legs
Providence
That will be for the abyss
Yeah all of them have that same bodyplan with the weird pelvis
What kinda dude has a chest that large
Abyss parents of the searslugs and slugbuns
Holy shit!!!
yoooo new spoiler
Sea angels in abyss
🥹
That's actually huge news i love sea angels
You can barely even tell commander has the stabby knive thing because it blends so well with its own palette
Would be cool if providence looked more comprehensible
i was just about to say that
i thought the horrors were supposed to be incomprehensible
Bro where the fuck is the 8th Angel in that image
providence has an issue where a lot of the body just melds together and you cant tell what certain parts of the sprite are unless you look way closer
The horror part of her is that she is a massive flying boulder
make noxus that one ai image that looks normal but none of the specific objects are actually real
The more I think about Providence the less I like her current design
truth nuke
It unfortunately takes more than a lore person to come up with a coherent boss design that everyone would agree with
True
Make a new one easy 
recolored eol

But seriously, it would be really cool to see a new design for Providence in this non fabsolian era
the main issue provi has is no contrast or readability for the main body
Also a valid thought is Becca herself becomes the new Providence
The amount of people misreading where her eyes are on the design is probably more than people who know where her eyes actually are
I had the same problem the first time haha
I genuinely don't see her fact as her face
Not the eyes but I see a huge bottom jaw
I see this as a bottom jaw every time
is her head not basically just kulve taroth
but with antlers
I just googled this
I have no idea what you're seeing
Didn’t even realize she’s supposed to have Antlers until just now
Why is her head so tiny
wtf i didnt ever realize there was a difference between the three 😭
the only way to tell what part her head actually is... is by looking at the boss icon
out of the issues with provis design
that isnt one of them to me
its always been easy for me to tell where her head is
no
The boss icon makes it worse imo
Until literally right now it has always read to me as not her head but
This for some reason
it probably should just focus on the head without antlers
Would help it a lot
Same
I literally did not know it was her head until two minutes ago
Didn’t know it was supposed to be that until rn too 😭
yeah
even more evidence for the sprite being a mess
Reminds me
It took me years until i saw her on the artwork for i think it was one of the preludes
interlude 2 i think
she needs a resprite, hell the entire profaned aesthetic / theme does
But its so arduous
thats something you dedicate a whole content upsate to
i always thought those rings on the side of her or whatever were nostrils/eyes
😭
but until i saw actual art of her i realized the top bit is her head it just looks absolutely nothing like what it’s supposed to be compared to her design
i had the exact same thought until a year ago
she’s just really unreadable i guess lmao
her head is tiny compared to the rest of her sprite for some reason
Love when artwork takes some creative liberties (or just uses an entirely different design) when translating a sprite to “3d” so it’s actually readable
love how theres like 20 things going on in the design that just dont mean anything
Could’ve just put a giant red circle to save time
true
idk why but this artwork makes me think of Lavos from Chrono Trigger
but when ares does this it’s flirting
cyclops ares my beloved
The difference is that Cyclops Ares is the best yes
No Goku
Something wicked
i just see him as a samurai
lol
yeah the headgear is cool
The big rainbow circle in the middle that takes up as much space as the actual face (and his face is way darker in-game so you barely see it compared to the crystal “eye”)
Also on some resolutions the head appears off screen so you can't even see it
Also that, your focus is just never on the actual face really
dude has insane cheekbones ngl
but yeah i see how the giant rainbow sphere could come off as an eye
Ohh i see
makes sense yea
that is intentional
gundan
id hope it be intentional
im not sure how you accidentally make a mech samurai
lol
draedon is a gundam fan 
also if you’re in a smaller resolution the head just will be offscreen
Snail
nuh uh
Don't get rid of the antlers wtf
Also I feel like that's a you issue, the map icon doesn't even have the crystals on the shoulders
I like to think that's the skull is for the fear factor and his actual "face" is the eye in the middle
Kinda like a butterfly
It's not even that small it's like proportionally a little smaller
Her head compared to her torso is about as big as a human's head compared to a human torso
This is such a crazy statement like wdym don't mean anything
It's clearly supposed to be an armored humanoid limbless torso and head
the head looks like a helmet with decorative antlers
the shoulders look like spiked pauldrons
the part between the head and torso looks like collar armor like the image
the torso literally has ribs and a pelvis (to sell the humanoid aspect)
the roots sticking out are part of her massive wings
How you look at all that and say "don't mean anything"
That's insane
People just be saying anything about her man she's a really good design
I understand this reference
it's him
The orb in the center of its chest lol
When it was revealed as just the silhouettes I thought it had one eye lol
^^^
as charitable as I can say it, her and the guardians is just kind of a winged mass of crystal root and rock
it'd be really nice for her to have a more defined shape and concept beyond that
but they say it's too big to resprite now, oh well
not necessarily too big for a resprite but big enough that the priority of her getting a resprite is really low on the list of resprite priority
its not "never" and more of "whenever a dev feels like it"
I personally really love providence's design
thats also the reason leviathan probably isnt getting a resprite because holy shit that sprite is massive
plus the inevitable animation hell
yeahhh considering how long just yharon's resprite has been cooking
fair enough
there's so many scrapped versions of it
tbf yharons has also been passed around between like 7 or 8 different spriters plus its covered in feathers which are notoriously hard to animate
Providence's design isn't like, horrible, however it has too many concepts fighting for space and isn't very readable
I don't think she needs a redesign, just a cleanup
I'd be glad with some touchups
I am a huge fan of the giant flame wings and the big crystal
I want the crystal as a necklace so bad
it tries to do too much at the same time
As Alt said I think everything relating to the rock part of the design is amazing and fits Providence perfectly, it just needs to be a tad more readable
The wings are just Good
the roots need to go
And everything else is meh
maybe im biased but crystal or rock formations look so much cooler than roots
the roots are the lamest part agreed
yeah I'm good with keeping the wings, crystal and maybe rock
really think the overall shape has to be changed a fair bit imo
not really
it WOULD be if you could easily tell apart what these were
but the fact that someone HAS to point it out for me is uh
yea
I don't think Providence's general shape has to be changed whatsoever
the biggest change i would make to the shape is just making the distinction between the head and body bigger
it took me until this that I understood wth the body looks like
it also helps seeing it animated
its cool and all but because i legit cannot tell part the details because they're all samey, it's always been way easier for me to just repicture providence in my mind differently
the animations do wonders for picking out individual parts
What do you even see
Like I don't think there's much variance in what someone could see in it
blob of rock with fire wings and a couple crystals
I don't think I'm particularly cracked at picking out details and figuring out what it's supposed to be
That's a simplification
I'm asking
which is a very common simplification because thats what a lot of people see it as
When you look at providence's head what do you think it's supposed to be?
now that I've had another look up close eaugh wtf are the roots in the wings for
I really do think Providence's design is hard to read
just make pure fire wings
the parts are readable individually sure but what matters isnt individual readability
Minecraft fire particles 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ok so how is it unreadable together
what matters is that the design as a whole, with everything together, is not readable
it all blends together
Blends in terms of what
^^^
the rock and the roots and crystals all look like they're the same thing
I don't even know how to explain how exactly I feel about Providence's design readability because it really just boils down to "It's hard to see what's being portrayed until you really look into it"
See here they're pretty clearly separated in parts
