Studview Valley - The Embiggening
🕑 Added 2025-03-03 13:57:19 +0000 UTCI was tipped off to a mod called "Sprites in Detail" which apparently quadruples the resolution of sprites and allows for more room. I initially created the sprite on the right going into this thinking he would fit, but as it turns out the mod only doubles the sizes and that the intention was to make higher quality sprites, so I reworked him into the middle, which actually matches the mod's proportions. It's not ideal, but at least we'll get bigger bachelors.
Yes, this does mean reworking ALL the sprite work I just did but I think it'll end up being easier since most of the leg work was coming up with how sprites are depicted by the new style. Plus, the bodies are far more detailed so it's not hard imaging how the bodies would be drawn. The only issue to this approach is that the world will be way too small for these characters (hallways, beds, etc) but if I can learn it, I might even go as far as changing the environments to match these giants.
I don't think I want to make Studview Valley a reward this month. Obviously, we're starting from scratch in a lot of places so I think I'm going to do more art rewards and just dabble into this on the side and hopefully have something concrete later on.

This is a very exciting development! I'm sorry that you suffered a setback of sorts, but the end result is still very very <3<3<3<3<3 so thank you so much for all the hard work you're putting into this!

I’m glad you’re finding a way to make this idea work! The new sprites seem like a happy medium. Wishing you luck with the re-embiggening!
