Spoiler:

we're assuming this is him.

What if it's the new Harvest Goddess design?

So graceful and enchanting! ~<3

HARVEST GODDESS-CHAN SO KAWAII

I'm holding my breath for now. At first sight I didn't like the artwork because I generally don't enjoy looking at chibis PLUS it reminded me of Hometown Story, buuut then I noticed that the shading looks so soft and nice?? Like, their eyes are too big and I don't dig how... small they seem, but it definitely has some good sides and that's exactly why I'm waiting for more info before jumping to any more conclusions.

That and comparing the style to HM64's good old simplicity calmed me down. Not gonna lie, if the characters turn out to be at least somehow deep then man, screw the artstyle, if it's that bad you can always search for fanart lol.

I really like the artstyle.

It's too bad about Harvest Satan

This could mean we get a thin and anime Underworld King. Tall and willowy with like... long, blonde hair. Like Todd/Death from Elisabeth. I say bring that on.



(I also think the art looks a lot like HTS)

Doodled this based on the new art while waiting for more news... can't wait to see TLV screenshots!! Really wanna know what the gameplay looks like

I find it kind of weird that people are disappointed that Harvest Satan isn't some hot-marriageable babe man when there was no confirmation or evidence pointing in that direction. Same thing with the art style. People are considering not buying the game over some pictures that aren't even showing anything in-game?

This happens with every game. People get disappointed when they get hopeful about something and it's not what they wanted. But the initial disappointment often wears when more information is discovered and they can find something they like about it.

Initial reaction:

Like, these are just first impressions and I want to give TLV the benefit of the doubt but I dunno. Maybe I've been spoiled by how much Igusa Matsuyama's artwork had evolved into something less chibi looking like in the past but so far, they just look too juvenile/kiddy. It's like Natsume wanted to reciprocate the retro HM designs or something. Maybe they'll grow on me but I just don't know.

Considering this is Natsume's first original HM game, I think they're doing a good job there.

ToTT and later Bokumono games use anime character art style. The best art we can hope from Natsume probably will be somewhat like in IoH/SI art style if they don't want their art look too much like current SoS/BokuMono games. Some people prefer the older HM art, while others like the current Bokumono art better. It probably will look something like Magical Melody in-game.

Everyone keeps bringing up HM64, but all I can see are the huge similarities between the TLV MCs and the GB MCs

I was looking at twitter to see if anyone is saying anything. Someone said their friend was told they can't take pictures, and that "ground and hills are all comprised of cubes" and they called it "a farming minecraft".

"Farming Minecraft"? So they're enhancing the farming aspect from Minecraft based on your description.

oh boooooooy.

ooohhhhhhh boyyyy.

Need to see it, but...that sounds....very very different.

I actual don't know what to think about the art style.
I like the more classic look, but I do get the childhish appearance that people are referring too.
I do have to say I don't like the look of the Harvest Sprites though.
But ultimately I want to see what the in-game graphics will look.
Though too me the game itself will be more important than the artwork.

@Kitana
I felt it looked more like an HD version of the GB games too.
