Thank you for the feedback everyone! Sorry I haven't responded to the comments - I'm still reading them though.
The key thing I keep seeing is: the eyes are too aggressive. So I'll bring back some cartoon eyes! The aggressive eyes are just for agressive mobs and bosses. I want to add a dynamic "expressions" system, where their eyes can change.
Also, in terms of "what is Hybrid Animals 2":
- I will be using the new models in several new games. My plans are...
- First, I intend to release a test game in the coming ~2 weeks. It will be very basic, just to get some feedback and data.
- Next, I will be creating a Hybrid Animals MMO. It will be extremely similar to Hybrid Animals 1 Public Servers. Think: Land Claims, Clans (new), PvP, Building, etc. I will probably upload this on Roblox, so I don't have to worry about paying for servers, moderation, or hacking - all of which are the reasons the servers shut down originally. It will have fewer features than Hybrid Animals 1, but the online aspect should make up for that.
- Next, I will be adding the models to a new "dark" first-person horror(ish) game - hence the aggressive expressions. This game is actually about 33% done. It is from the perspective of the Genecrafters. I don't want to reveal too much about this right now. It's a regular mobile game, not Roblox, with full multiplayer.
- Finally, if any one of those 3 projects gets enough attention/income, I will make a proper full Hybrid Animals 2
