Just came by to check if there's an update and boy was I elated to see one! But I will say, the new sprite of Soutarou seems... So far from the other one that I'm getting a sort of weirdness from it? Does the sprite change mean that Soutarou is now as tall as Torahiko? Albeit, I haven't played the newest update yet and am just saying this based on the new screenshots from the build so for all I know, I might grow to love the new sprite like how I did with Torahiko's and Kouya's. Just left my few sentiments about the sprite change before I play the newest update because Soutarou IS my favorite among the cast haha. 

(This is in no way an attack to the team nor artist, just to be clear. I think the art looks great and it's just the difference between the two sprites that surprised me)

Heya! I'll copy /paste another comment I left as it addresses the issue you've brought up:


"Soutarou is indeed taller in this sprite. He was very small in the original due to him being more of a shota type character, and while we didn't keep that characteristic in Revisited, he ended up looking fairly small due to how the sprites were rendered onscreen. With the new sprites, we're making everyone take more real estate on the screen, as well have decided to represent Soutarou being aged up by making him look his actual age, and so the difference might seem a bit stark compared to the other unfinished sprites."

So, long story short, he's indeed taller but for two very different reasons, and would have appeared taller even if we had kept him at the exact same size as our previous version of Soutarou.

I do think his taller appearance fits him more as he appears in Homecoming personally, hehe.

Just played through his route and I gotta say, the new sprite grew on me fast! The only issue I saw was the occasional instances of him still being referred to as small haha but I assume that's going to be rewritten/omitted in future builds.

Anyways, thank you for the amazing work you all did! Love the way the game is improving in story and art with each build.
