changedI want to make the plushie her canonic design in the game too, but before I do that I want to see what the community thinks about it. I often hate when characters I love are changed, so I don't want to release it only to end up pissing Outcore's community.

Lumi's villain design has a little problem. Can you spot it?

When they're placed side by side it becomes obvious: Lumi's villain design is inconsistent and has 3 variations: - Lumi's small sprite has black sleeves and no gloves - Lumi's big sprite has white sleeves that are connected to her white gloves - Lumi's plushie (WHICH YOU SHOULD TOTALY BUY BEFORE THE TIME RUNS OUT) has black sleeves, white gloves

Oy Vai Voy what a mess!!!

Lumi's small sprite was what I made first. I made it without gloves because it made sense to me. I then paid a professional artist to make her big sprite, but I only noticed her having gloves was inconsistent after the game was released.

For a long while I didn't care. It was a bit weird but most people didn't even notice there was an inconsistency. I did start caring when Makeship and I started working on Lumi's villain plushie (WHICH AGAIN, YOU SHOULD BUY!!! YOU LOVE LUMI AND I LOVE YOUR MONEY AND ALSO YOUR MOM).

Aside from her design being a bit inconsistent, there was something else that bothered me. People often reacted to Lumi's villainous transformation and thought she didn't really look villainous. It makes sense since Villain Lumi is just a simple color swap. When I designed her, I didn't want to change her clothing because then I would have had to redraw all of her sprites.

Anyway, back to Makeship. The plushie gave me an excuse to fix her design once and for all. I decided to make her cape darker, but still keep it blue since it didn't feel like Lumi if it wasn't blue. I also separated her white sleeves into black sleeves + white gloves.

I want to make the plushie her canonic design in the game too, but before I do that I want to see what the community thinks about it. I often hate when characters I love are changed, so I don't want to release it only to end up pissing Outcore's community.

So, please let me know what you think about the new design in the comments. I sound like a generic trash tier Youtuber but I'm serious, I want to read your opinions.

Have you noticed this post is just a big ad telling you to buy Lumi's plushie?

Don't tell anyone, ok? I actually want you to buy a Lumi plushie. I know, it's really not obvious!

Lumi's villain plushie is still not funded. It will NOT enter production unless it sells at least 200 copies before February 24th. If that happens then EVERYONE WILL DIE. Also, this will likely be the last Makeship plushie for Outcore. Nothing sells like good ol' FOMO.
