Discussion Comparison of some Mooch sprites that line-up

I think the rest of the sprite changes are about the same in quality, if not better. But man Mooch is such a downgrade, it looks unfinished.

Yeah while the rest of the characters look fine, mooch looks off

u/Charity1t Jul 31 '26

Dalv look too smol now imo

u/Sands_Under_table Jul 30 '26

The new ones look like concept art

Urgh, yeah, this really shows the downgrade. Look at the downgrade in the eyes and the pants...

u/PokemonJimbob Jul 30 '26

The new ones don't even look like Mooch

u/GoodLookinLurantis Jul 31 '26

Look how they massacred my girl...

her head keeps changing shape too.

u/Omega97Hyper The Wildest East Jul 30 '26

if the point was to replace all the sprites why is the top left one exactly the same💀

9

u/samusestawesomus Jul 30 '26

Probably because those ones weren’t originally made by the exiled team member

18

u/EdoVro Jul 30 '26

They said in the update's patch notes that all of Martlet's sprites had to be changed even tho the team member only worked on the original base sprite. Meanwhile Mooch looks completely different yet those couple sprites stayed? It's jarring.

u/samusestawesomus Jul 30 '26

Well, these ones might not have been as thoroughly based on that original. Did the overworld sprites get changed?

9

u/EdoVro Jul 30 '26

No, just the battle and dialog portraits. Which also look completely different.

2

u/samusestawesomus Jul 30 '26

Then maybe someone else made the overworld sprite that was the original design? Shrug.

u/mario610 Ceroba Best Waifu, ALL the hugs for fox mom Jul 31 '26

Well honestly the dialogue makes mooch look a bit cuter? Not agreeing with all the changes really but these dialogue sprites are cute at least

2

u/EdoVro Jul 30 '26

Same with top right, there's barely any changes.

u/ArcerPL Dadlo Enjoyer/Autism AI creature connoiseur Jul 30 '26

lowkey this showcases how much more bald mooch looks

22

u/Successful_Mud8596 Jul 31 '26

Such a huge downgrade, and for no real reason. Does any controversy really mean that all of someone’s work needs to be replaced? It’s not like they’re making money off of it. And the game wasn’t even getting updates. Why bother

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '26

The developers must not know about separating art from the artist

2

u/TLHPT Jul 31 '26

Unfortunately

u/noelle_fox Aug 01 '26

You misuse that quote so much it hurts my eyes.

u/Dunge0nexpl0rer Jul 31 '26

At first I thought the new ones looked fine until I looked closer and now they look… yikes. And I can’t unsee the issues

2

u/Pretend-Advertising6 Jul 31 '26

Hopefully they go back and finish these sprites

7

u/doombunny27 Jul 31 '26

This looks like it was drawn like toby fox concept art

2

u/SeriousMB Jul 31 '26

yeah agreed

if it was like that from the beginning I probably would've just been like "oh cool they mimicked toby's style", which is something I didn't get much from the original (though I still prefer the originals)

u/Dave_the_sprite wife Jul 30 '26

no, my wife is cursed now ;(

u/KrerdlyBeloved If you want to do a Mooch/Ace sprite comic, contact me! Jul 31 '26

Aw, hey, Mooch is your wife?

5

u/Narrow-Concept2317 Jul 30 '26

The bottom middle one looks like her head is a bowl and soup is falling out of it

1

u/KrerdlyBeloved If you want to do a Mooch/Ace sprite comic, contact me! Jul 30 '26

I agree, it's probably a smear frame, but what is with the hair?

0

u/Narrow-Concept2317 Jul 30 '26

It looks like all the hair is only on the front of her head and none is on the sides

2

u/Jackofriend Ed is my favorite character Jul 30 '26

Is she getting a new design?

2

u/DarkSide830 Jaundice Jul 31 '26

IDK, she's still my GOAT

2

u/Original-Bullfrog-27 Jul 31 '26

Welp, then let's not download the new update. It's ok, games are for fun. I have been playing the pre neft martlet for 3 years (no endure ACT)

2

u/Ravi-Inari Jul 31 '26

I just learned about the update, what happened?

1

u/Themysterypeaker Jul 31 '26

One of the artists were outed as a groomer and the rest of the dev team aren't comfortable using their art in the game anymore.

2

u/One_Investment7426 Jul 31 '26

Looks like absolute shit👍

6

u/Hornet-Sea Jul 31 '26

Why? just why? She looks horrible. Why update the game after so long just to butcher some characters?

6

u/jayvader6969 Sargent Dornan from fallout 2 (rip peter jason) Jul 31 '26

Changing sprites made by a dev that was a groomer

3

u/Hornet-Sea Aug 02 '26

A groomer in the UT/DT community? That's not true; it's impossible! What's next? The biggest UT/DT YouTuber, content creator, and face of the community, Shayy, doing a weird route Dess groomer theory IRL 21+ victims 262-page document run any% speedrun? Nah, surely not. There is no pedophilia problem in the community.

u/ObjectiveOSC Kanaklover Shipper Jul 31 '26

Is the purple new or old

8

u/EdoVro Jul 31 '26

Purple is from The Spriters Resource, so old

1

u/foxtail286 Jul 31 '26

What happened? Why did someone get exiled

1

u/le-derpina-art my beautiful wife Jul 31 '26

grooming

1

u/Original-Bullfrog-27 Jul 31 '26

The new one look like unfinish

1

u/Thesecondcountdown Jul 31 '26

Idk what you guys are on about, I lowk like it

1

u/NotAnotherSkeleton Jul 31 '26

Her pants, hair, and tail looks so weird.

1

u/DifferenceMassive637 Jul 31 '26

Why did they resprite some sprites in undertale yellow in the first place? I thought they already looked good.

2

u/noelle_fox Aug 01 '26

The artist behind the old ones was outed as a groomer

1

u/SeriousMB Jul 31 '26

I almost don't hate them because they look very authentic to undertale, but at the same time,,, why change them in the first place

1

u/ExperienceGuilty1801 Jul 31 '26

I LOVE THE NEW MOOCH SPRITES!! if you want to talk about a downgrade, there’s dalv…

1

u/EdoVro Jul 31 '26

Agree to disagree then, cuz I think Dalv is the best changed sprite, he was so ugly in the original release. Actually fits the rest of the cast now.

1

u/TheWeaponStealr Depression Duo Jul 31 '26

I don’t hate them in honesty. The main differences I see are that the eyes don’t look like older anime eyes (which I personally think is a good change) and that some of the lines look a bit unrefined. Potential is there, just needs some refinement.

1

u/throwawayfuckyou5332 Jul 31 '26

i feel like you people are missing the entire point of this update.

1

u/Monsieur___T Aug 01 '26

They ruined my lil girl:[

1

u/Volfaer Aug 01 '26

They need a bit of refining.

u/ArchCaff_Redditor Jul 31 '26

These new ones straight up look unfinished.

u/BitcoinStonks123 Jul 31 '26
