God damn it.Every time I see Ajna's sprite and her headband thingy, I see a sweat drop, like she is forever embarrassed for something.
Can't unsee.

Came out of the panel a little earlier. As usual, it was incredibly fun, though with the stream now y'all probably don't need me to tell you that. Still really impressed with how far Indivisible has come though. I remember coming last year and being really impressed with how far things had come since the prototype, and seeing how far the team has come since then was pretty remarkable.
Really can't be said enough how great the backgrounds look now. I recall it being one of the main things people criticized about the demo and now they're gorgeous. The painterly textures and all the other tricks they've done to blend the environment really doing work.

Wait who is that bottom character? Doesn't look like any characters that I can think of.

Getting to see some of Vasco's animations too in the stream. Nice!
Gotta say, I really liked old Nuna better. Was one of my favorite designs.
Oh well
Does Vasco really act like a gunblade user or is it pretty much just gunplay? I love me some gunblades

It really is. Now I want an unlockable Indivisible Maker mode.
Seconded. I expected to be awed by the character animations. I honestly didn't expect to be awed by 2.5D environments that look perfectly painted in stills.
A good panel with a lot of quality information. Game is looking great! I wonder if there is going to be a Youtube upload? Also it was sometimes hard to hear what people were saying (so maybe a Youtube upload from your perspective would help), especially Alex and sometimes Mike. I'll try to see if I can watch the panel again and transcribe some of the most juicy morsels.
As an aside:

Seems Kampan got a redesign too (but relatively minor). I guess she'll be part of the playable roster tool.

Just got home from the show, and uploaded these videos from the panel before I go crash.

Yeah, while I am not "in love" with Nuna's design per se, I do think it looks like an actual character design compared to the old one. I thought the original one was cute, but was missing a lot of flair compared to the rest of the cast. This is more drastic of a change than I would have expected, but I welcome it.
On another note, I wonder what's up with the purple skin?
Because she's in blue shadows.

Ooh, I see the speck of her natural skin tone on her face and left arm now that I look properly. Yay for dynamic lighting!

Not a fan of the constant redesigns that are just, well, not nearly as good as the initial designs. This is disappointing...
Nuna, Vasco and arguably Baozhai are the only characters that really changed significantly.
We've got over two dozen characters, the vast majority of which haven't changed much at all.
I agree.
But, more importantly, so would Yoshinari.

I like Nuna's new design better I think. Just like with Vasco though, I thought she'd be on the chopping block.

Speaking on mechanics, I'm way more excited than I should be that sprinting into a slide continues sprinting. The team's really making an effort to have traversal and crawling not end up plodding as with many other RPGs (even good ones). I suppose one could tell that direction from the prototype, but seeing it polished even more in the panel is encouraging. It makes me more excited to check out nooks and crannies in the Backer Preview.

Your opinion comes from a good place so this is not me critiquing your thoughts, but you're being allowed a much closer look behind the curtains than 99% of the rest of game development. All games, no exception, go through changes and edits over time, Ive never seen a game keep the original designs from the pitch stage, not once. There are many reasons to do so, feasability being one of them, but also the designer probably likes the new design better for her/his own reasons.
I understand that people get attached to the characters theyre introduced to, but the way I see it the alternative is you dont even get to see them at all until the game is done and ready to market.

it's just a shame so often. For example, I'm heartbroken that another rpg I backed on Kickstarter, Soul Saga, has had the lead characters go from young/mid teen looking designs to under aged kids.
I'm sure he thinks it fits the story better, and he seems to even be offering people to play the title with the skins of the original designs as a costume, but it doesn't fit the title or cutscenes so there is little point.
I don't know if it's enough to request a refund, but I'm not as hyped about it anymore. To be fair with the creator, he saw a post of mine on GAF ages ago where I complained I wasn't liking the new direction and offered to give me a refund if we went through official channels. So at least he is going the extra mile when technically he owed me nothing.
With Indivisible I haven't really minded any of the redesigns. Particularly since they are for the summons, which I can only assume won't be the focus of the game.

I think it's a different situation for crowd-funded projects though, since arguably, the art direction is what draws a lot of backers (myself included).
It's not the worst or anything, but every time I see a redesign I can't help but be disappointed.

I finally got around to the Anime Expo 2017 Sizzle Reel and didn't see anyone bring it up, but it seems Yan is confirmed as well. I'm sure many of us had no doubts of this, but it's nice to see a peek animation for her. Looks good:
Some new enemy designs in there too.

Same as my opinion. Yes games change a lot during development but some of us were sold on the game based on the original designs so we can't help but feel a little cheated.
Naruto run!
Aw, nice, I was worried for Kampan, to be honest.
Unless this is just for an npc version or something...
Seems like lots of incarnations are getting in. I just hope Kogi pulls through...

Haha I was trying to buy the game last night on PSN, because I saw someone play it on their Sony A1E over at AVSForum.
Didn't realize the game was still in development kept wondering why I couldn't see a price as all I kept seeing was the prototype version (which is very cool btw and a first I believe).
It's on my wishlist for whenever it releases, I totally dig the style you guys got going for your games!

As with all the characters (however much redesigned), she was introduced during the fundraising campaign. For the specific date of Baozhai's reveal...
5th November 2015
Her updated model sheet was revealed on the 27th February this year.

So far, the best redesign has been our lovely Pirate lady, Bao~, With Vasco probably being second. In my opinion at least.
We felt the original costume was a bit too on-the-nose, and also wanted to give her a stronger silhouette. And in keeping with her three sisters theme, we gave her a squash-like shape to her hair.

Yep, that's fantastic. Kikuta's music has such a unique flavor. I find it hard to concentrate on other stuff when I listen to it, get sort of whisked away somewhere.
I've said it before, but commissioning awesome game music from the likes of Yamane and Kikuta might be my favorite part of my job.
And I've got a ton of awesome stuff banked for the future as we reveal more levels, etc.
Like, the battle theme in the AX2017 sizzle reel and another battle theme I can listen to looped all day, pretty much.
