Don't worry, there's not a flood, is just me, drowning in my drool, so excited for Odurat, Amukiki and Mesphit!
@Ryocchi: Me too! I'm so eager to see if SarenxOdurat ist able to top may favorite couple SarenxAmukiki! x3
Amukiki was the best, I think that Odurat may stole that spot but I think that samaras is going to be good too.
I just wish that the Nook wasn't the new gay option...after Draco I was hoping that the new gay option wasn't the effeminate guy again .

Ummm, effeminate might be an understatement. I thought Nook was just a really skinny, pretty girl until I saw them mentioned here. Like a model. I don't really look at all the colors and stuff and Nook's a pretty gender neutral name so I just assumed. I never second guessed that.
I love Kiki! He's my favorite.

Totally agree with you about Nook, I wasn't too thrilled with Samaras at first but I don't know with the time I'm getting warmed up to him, I think it will depend on his personality once the game comes out.

I know what you mean. Nook is quite feminine, and Draco looks more feminine then the first game. But as long as Nook isn't a whump character like Riley/Draco I am absolutely looking forward to him. Also with Amukiki/Odurat/Mesphit to balance it out is not bad.

No, Nook is definitely nowhere similar to Draco, rest assured

I get what you mean, from his picture he looks like the efficient stoic tsundere type, with some awesome dialogue he can turn out really interesting.

Yeah I thought the same thing. He seems serious and capable, and I think I will love him. The only hurdle I will have is that he looks 10 and that can feel off when playing his romance, but I will definitely wait to see how they do him in the game before judging one way or the other.

His young look was a big problem (for obvious reasons). So much that I might even decide to change something in the final game. Though I hope that when you see him alongside the other characters will be obvious that he is not 10, just has a feminine face and a thin body, but he'll be as tall as the others.

That helps a lot, thanks Jack!

here's Nathir. He has a gambling problem!

Some people on Steam forums complained about the lack of diversity, and they're right. I'm going to fix this in the next games, though in SOTW both Krimm and Riley weren't supposed to be white people (in Krimm I think is obvious, for Riley I forgot to tell the colorist in time...).

So together with writer decided that Nook should definitely be changed, for several reasons:
- there's already Draco that is gay and looks feminine
- Nook's face might also make him look TOO YOUNG (which is bad) and also his body
Since we've done already several CGs with him, it's not possible to change him completely, but already changing her face should make a big difference. Artist sent several variations, this is the one I picked, and made a sort of "progression":

there are other interesting variants though, including some with beard, curly hair, etc. I'll let writer decide on this one since he has to write him. Of course, we still want him to be attractive an unique vs the other love interests

Awesome! Even the second one makes him look like a young man rather than a boy. its like the progression 1-4 is seeing a character age. I am just glad he doesn't look like a kid. I will admit that I will miss the short hair if changed, it sort of was his signature look, and it seems everyone has long hair. So my favorite would be 4 with the same old hair cut, but as long as he isn't a kid I am good.

Well, I guess that Nook stuff is okay. I wanted a little something closer to this:

I'm leaning toward #3, looking over the variants

ROFL, yes your example is not bad

The 4th is like the 3rd with only the nose piercing (maybe is hard to see).
There are other hair variants:

Though the last one looks bad, the first two sort of could work, even if that hair style brings his perceived age back down again. I agree that most of male seems to have long hair though: Amukiki, Draco, Samaras, Mesphit. So maybe someone with shorter hair could be good?

I thought his nose was rounder and the difference was nostrils XD lol. Rei also has long hair but, torza and Odurat have fairly short hair, it was more just a comment. I like the first hairstyle most out of those 3, but I am really good for anything. Although curious if stubble and short hair would match

I must confess, I will miss Nook's old desing. Any chance of getting a file full of excluded art with the game?

Yes I was already thinking to do that
