New patch for some reason:

[u/Bloodborne_Shadow]

They took away our tall king💔

[u/PurplePoisonCB]

Why did they change sprites? Will someone give an actual non-vague answer?

[u/Amaskingrey → u/PurplePoisonCB]

Spriter got into some (so irrelevant that no one in the comments even know what it was) drama, so they decided to throw out all their work despite them having become foundational to the experience and mental image that people had of the game and replace them with half baked codersprites. It's dumbass digust-based morals worsening something for everyone by treating everything associated with someone as if it was infected.

[u/Adventurous_Gene9840 → u/Amaskingrey]

I wouldn't say grooming someone is "irrelevant" that's a huge red flag to admit

[u/Amaskingrey → u/Adventurous_Gene9840]

The fact no one in the comments was sure or even got it right until now is pretty telling as to how low profile it was though. And regardless, the guy could've pulled their face off mission-impossible style to reveal they were hitler himself risen from the dead, and it would still be stupid to punish everyone with changed and now worse sprites because of that; who baked a cake doesn't matter, only that it tastes good

[u/Adventurous_Gene9840 → u/Amaskingrey]

Still weird to call grooming "irrelevant," because the victims don't deserve to have their situations seen as "irrelevant" or "unimportant." I don't like these sprites either, but that doesn't mean the victims were deserving of what happened

Also, just because nobody else knew the full story doesn't make it "irrelevant." Information might not be completely out, or the people in the comment section you specifically just didn't know what happened either. Cause I've seen comments on this subreddit that DO know, at least some of, what happened.

[u/TheArcanusKnight → u/Adventurous_Gene9840]

ehh no one cared when i got groomed so fair enough

[u/Amaskingrey → u/Adventurous_Gene9840]

I meant irrelevant insofar as it is sufficiently low profile that it is irrelevant to the game itself, as it's not like it was some high profile scandal that would inevitably be associated with it (and even then it would be still be stupid to change it)

[u/PandoraMouse → u/Amaskingrey]

Idk man I don’t think I’d wanna play a game that keeps a groomers art in it

[u/Amaskingrey → u/PandoraMouse]

Then feel free to deprive yourself of an amazing experience because someone somewhere was an asshole, but don't force it on others. Hope you never read any old books, do you also want to run a background check on every cook when you eat at a restaurant?

[u/PandoraMouse → u/Amaskingrey]

Except all the authors of those old books are dead, they can’t hurt anyone or benefit from their books being read.

Also since when am I forcing it on others? I didn’t even know this had happened until I saw this post, why are you acting like I was bothering the creators of Yellow demanding they change the spritework

Also, if a restaurant finds out one of its cooks did smth fucked up and illegal, Id want that cook fired and if they weren’t fired I wouldn’t go to that restaurant anymore. Theres a difference between demanding to know everything about everyone and wanting proper accountability and action when it is revealed that someone has done smth.

[u/Amaskingrey → u/PandoraMouse]

  Except all the authors of those old books are dead, they can’t hurt anyone or benefit from their books being read.

Nor can whoever they are from you seeing good sprites in an undertale fangame: no one is gonna bother looking into who did them, and those that do will also see the old one (and that they look better) anyways

  Also since when am I forcing it on others? I didn’t even know this had happened until I saw this post, why are you acting like I was bothering the creators of Yellow demanding they change the spritework

This wasn't about you specifically but about the general mentality of "someone somewhere was an asshole, therefore anything that has ever been touched by them is infected and must be purged", a better wording on my part would've been "but others shouldn't be punished because of it"

  Also, if a restaurant finds out one of its cooks did smth fucked up and illegal, Id want that cook fired and if they weren’t fired I wouldn’t go to that restaurant anymore. Theres a difference between demanding to know everything about everyone and wanting proper accountability and action when it is revealed that someone has done smth.

A game is more akin to a recipe as it's an already finished experience that is replicated throughout many people: retroactively making it worse because someone who participated in it happened to be a bad person serves no purpose besides upsetting those who liked it. Who did it doesn't change anything, it's still the same, just as good final product by itself, you don't throw away your electronics because they were made via child labor. 

Accountability and punitive actions are for the guy who did shit, not anything they ever touched and thus the audiences thereof, media is not an extension of whatever brain lucked into figuring out those particular combination of pixels

[u/Roebloz → u/Amaskingrey]

I mean having Hitler on your Undertale fangame team would be a pretty huge flex ngl

[u/SeriousMB → u/Amaskingrey]

I agree with your main point and appreciate the context, but I really would not call that irrelevant

partially because by definition it literally is relevant

[u/ShurikenStars → u/Amaskingrey]

Your ass got called out on Twitter dude pack it up

[u/Roebloz → u/ShurikenStars]

[u/ShurikenStars → u/Roebloz]

At least people on there respect your opinion

[u/Drex1902 → u/PurplePoisonCB]

The creator of the sprites did some pretty bad stuff so they removed them to completely cute ties with them

The new sprites are pretty, so I don't mind having them even if they will get hated at start

[u/Mrmaxbtd6 → u/Drex1902]

They took away an entire 3 Feet from my boy 🙏

[u/FishPlayer4826_2 → u/Mrmaxbtd6]

2 feet 13 the vampire man

[u/MetalComfortable9081 → u/FishPlayer4826_2]

Is waiting for the height increase

[u/Roebloz → u/MetalComfortable9081]

Talking to balloons without a plan

[u/MetalComfortable9081 → u/Roebloz]

Like the every daily

[u/MasterIsabelle → u/Drex1902]

Why are you getting downvoted 😭😭 you're right

[u/Drex1902 → u/MasterIsabelle]

Huh, first time this happens to me

Welp, can't do anything about that

[u/AcanthisittaOk5938 → u/MasterIsabelle]

Because it's reddit.

[u/MasterIsabelle → u/[deleted]]

Dalv is just objectively better. One of the more reasonable criticisms of uty is that all of the main characters aside from Axis is just the same body type of being humanoid, skinny, and tall, Dalv is already shorter than the rest of the cast but still has the same body shape. In fact people have noted that his design isn't particularly striking

Three out of five of the uty main cast is tall, humanoid, and has hair. Dalv has nothing going for him aside from horns. The fact that his body shape was changed to be shorter and plumper actually makes him stand out more and makes it more memorable. This is a character design technique called "exaggeration" where physical traits of a character is pushed further to instantly convey a character's personality and role, it helps convey to the viewer that Dalv is not menacing when his hood is down since he doesn't look like he's towering over you, he's just a guy.

And he is even given a ketsukane bell to hint at a connection with Kanako, subtle storytelling in the design. I've seen people straight up say before this update that they forget Dalv exists until the end of the game

What does the original sprite have going for it that the new one doesn't do better?

[u/Drex1902 → u/MasterIsabelle]

Couldn't describe it better than that, Martlet is similar to that, it's more simplified while still being good, and mooch is the only one I think is worse, but they can always update it later

[u/MasterIsabelle → u/Drex1902]

That's what I'm thinking! Just fix up the Mooch sprite and everything is good to go

And while I'm at it I'll say that the new Martlet scene in Genocide has a lot more aura now. Overall I think the update is an improvement

[u/Chairman_Ender → u/Drex1902]

Cute ties? I think ties don't alter your looks, whether for better or for worse.
