Sprites sneak peek
Dawn Chorus » Devlog
Hi folks!
We've shared the first reworked sprites, for Rune and Devon, in Broken Harbours - you can see how they look in game in the publicly available demo. Now, have a few more looks into the rework from a preview build of Dawn Chorus posted on our Patreon!
Just today we've finished adding some final retouches and imported them into the vn - it's our first day of seeing the full cast in their new sprites in the context too. We'll soon be sharing a comprehensive poll with the patrons and gathering actionable feedback on these, so some changes are still to be expected. Still - we're proud of them as they are now!

The new sprites are amazing it adds so much depth to the characters
Honestly the sprites were one of my least favorite parts of the game and this is a massive improvement
I like the new style a lot! I think some of the criticisms are valid, like certain characters suddenly becoming more or less bulky. Torulf becoming ripped, Jorgen becoming a bit more defined and Rune and Devon's faces becoming softer, to name a few examples. I think everyone will get used to a characterization change with time, as the art is very good. But, if the goal is to 1:1 replicate the feeling of the old sprites in a new style, they aren't quite there yet in my opinion.
They look so cuuuuuute!!! What a lovely redesign, they still kept their individual charm. And the general art improvements are not unnoticed. I say whoever drew these did a wonderful job.
Frankly I'm not a great fan of these new sprites.
Why making so many characters suddenly bulkier and more muscular than before? Some characters change so much that I feel unfamiliar and UNCONNECTED, like they are some replica whom I can't resonate with.
I have followed this touching VN so long that I've already grown affection for the old sprites. What's more, those fabulous CGs are more connected and more coherent to the old sprites too, thus changing the sprites will cause quite a rift between them. And remaking those CGs means lots of rework.
I beg for a switch option in the VN to change between the versions of sprites. I just can't pretend that I'm someone new to this VN with no MEMORIES of those unforgettable old characters and CGs.
I like em, The ones that seem a little off in my opinion is Rune, Torulf and Coach Devon, they just seem a little too different.
runes face is a bit fluffier and it was a surprise
I don't think that I'll ever get used to this new rune model
Holding out for Klaus update! :)
To be honest the old sprites looked like they just got out of highschool maybe mid college but these new sprites look much more like university students i really like the change even though its taking some getting used to.
i saw the rune sprite super tiny in my notifs and thought he had top surgery scars for some reason s,gdhsdkgds
Lmfaoo
can there be an option in game to keep using the old sprites?
At first I was a little wary of the changes, but now that I've been able to get used to them, I'm really enjoying them! The extra detail that is part of the sprites gives everything a more polished look. Looking forward to more!
The art update is really a good thing, for too long I thought Mikko's sprites just didn't match with the rest, now they're all on the same page. Just that yes, Devon is weird now, otherwise they look quite good.
And the more buffed characters look a lot cleaner, less bulging with muscles that never really looked good.
Also, that Tanuki (I have terrible name memory) is fucking cute aaaaaahhhh !! Why can't I date him ?
the writing so far seems to imply travis is somewhat aroace
New sprites seems good, also situation here is the same as the new osu! game logo and as people said over there: "give it time to sink in maybe people will like it."
I'm going to be completely honest, I kind of preferred the older sprites and designs. The new ones are still absolutely amazing, just like everything else you make, but the older design looked kind of cuter and more fitting to the narrative. Idk maybe it's because I've already gotten used to the previous design. It's still going to be great, and maybe I'll be proven wrong, maybe I'll start liking the newer design more, who knows? I'm just happy that the game keeps having constant updates, is constantly being worked on and receives so much love and I can't wait to see what happens in the following updates. Best of luck to the whole development team, I love you all!
agreed
much prefer old rune but anything you put out will be goated
Oh, the new Lake sprites look positively adorable. I like it
Why does Devon have a baby face?
Isn't he supposed to be in his 30s???
Sure he looks cute, quality of the art is exceptional, and it would be a great sprite for a different character. I just don't think this one fits the vibe I was always getting from him. He always felt like the more mature one that went through some stuff. Now he looks like a fluffy innocent teenage catboy.
That one will be difficult to get adjusted to.
He is just before his 30th birthday in the game, but we hear the feedback!
This Rune is so sexy, i love him
i like new spirits especially Rune，he is so adorable. But bjorn's haircut is a little bit strange, and improve Devon's pls, kinda silly indeed
For me, the biggest impact of the new version is the direction the characters face
After all, the biggest reason that attracted me to the old version at the time was the rare appearance of looking directly at the player.
Furthermore, it may be a change in body shape and temperament, which may be good or bad.
For example
I feel like Torulf can create a clearer contrast when getting along with the protagonist and strengthen his image as a playboy.
But for Lake and Mikko, compared to the description in the story, it feels like they were given too many steroids.
Finally, Rune’s new face looks weird whether it’s from the front or 45 degrees.
I cannot agree more..
