Am I weird for noticing her bust shrinkage first?

I think that's a chicken drumstick, for unlocking protein mode. You need to eat chicken every minute or so to restore stomach muscles (from belly dancing and hair whipping) and repair your luscious hair.

Muuuuch better.They just posted a new update that seems to further improve the colour palette:
It also explains the additive lighting they are using.

So mullet, you gonna back now? Since she's much darker.
Also, I am in love with this kickstarter. Seriously hope it reaches all its stretch goals, I want this game to be the best it possibly can. I freaking love Shantae.
Probably?Yes, I will probably back this now.
I'm honestly not pledging any money toward this because of her skin being white. I would have otherwise.
I think that's more a consequence of the change in her body shape and waist.
Does Japanese count as white for this discussion of minority representation in videogames? THINK HARD
Let's see whether this gets funded first.Anyone else think it won't reach some of the stretch goals? It seems like its moving pretty slowly
She always had a narrow waist and wide hips though.

Yes they count, and no, Terra Branford was not japanese =P
Even 90% of japan games are made with non japanese protagonists
Even Ace Attorney is set in Los Angeles =P
Only the localized version.Even Ace Attorney is set in Los Angeles =P

Too fast for me. I like the vocals though.So, what did you guys think of the song they posted? I think it's pretty catchy!

I love it! Somewhat cheesy vocal video game songs like that are right up my alley.So, what did you guys think of the song they posted? I think it's pretty catchy!
Man, what's with all the creepy skin tone posts. Who gives a shit. People should be more concerned about what cool transformations Shantae will get and how they'll be used in the dungeons, against the bosses and such. Whatevs, I'm supporting this vid-star.

It's whitewashing. Same thing happens in movies and its rightful to complain about it when the characters are of certain nationality being played by someone that doesn't remotely looks the part for the role.
Shantae was one if the firsts if not the first tanned female lead and she broke that barrier. Also changing her to white is doing a disservice to the original art of the games. Sure she is a videogame character but the game has a setting and the character was already existing which was fitting of said setting and here simply while it looks good it was disappointing to see them mess with her color.
Except when the character starts out white, of course, like when Samuel L. Jackson was cast as Nick Fury, or when Idris Elba was cast as the Norse god Heimdall.

Look at how the art for Link, Samus, Pikachu, Mario, Pit or a ton of other mascot characters have evolved over the years before you concoct some dumb conspiracy theory about them whitewashing things. Game art evolves and changes and is reinterpreted all the time.
Yeah, I get that, but to see people say they weren't going to support this because she wasn't her original skin color is ridiculous no matter how you justify it. Agetec made most (if not all) the people/NPC's hair yellow in Raw Danger (Disaster Report 2) instead of brown/black (or whatever their original hair color was) so people in the west could relate more to the characters. I couldn't care less at the time. I was more concerned with the actual game and all the cool, new and fun ideas it presented.
The Evolution in Nintendo's character designs is not the same with Shantae.Look at how the art for Link, Samus, Pikachu, Mario, Pit or a ton of other mascot characters have evolved over the years before you concoct some dumb conspiracy theory about them whitewashing things. Game art evolves and changes and is reinterpreted all the time.
Some really bad timing on their part yes.this kickstarter goes way to slow :< i think, if mighty no 9 wasn't announced a few days earlier, shantae would be fully funded by now

WF on KS said:Regarding some other design elements, these were arrived at by drawing the character large, looking something like the pixel sprite. Then it was shrunk down until it was tiny on screen and edited at a micro-sized view. Body parts where exaggerated until you could clearly see her eyes, face, navel, and hip-tilt direction even at a great distance from camera. Then it was enlarged again, and cleaned up. This is the reason for the bowling pin shaped body, the very tall eyes, the long torso, and black triangular pants. She was designed for maximum contrast and readability on screen no matter how far we pull back the camera. This way we could have her battle a boss that's truly colossal, or solve a puzzle that requires an extremely zoomed out view (think Harmony of Despair).
