Amber Art Feedback Poll
Given the substantial amount of written feedback I've gotten, I'm going to do a poll on people's opinions on what should be done with the Amber art situation so I can have better numbers.
I think I have a good idea of what I want to do at this time, but I still want the feedback to help decide the decision.
Keep in mind that Amber's original art can still be upgraded more directly in quality, and to not be blinded by shiny new sexy art. xD Her character aspects are important.
In the options only the first one has the original amber be used.
I don't think reusing the original for a new character would work in the slightest, as it's too memorable, and would be hard to differentiate well imo. I don't think this is a Vivian/Mara instance, if anything I think it's a reverse situation. xD
Select any options you feel applicable. As this is like, three polls rolled into one.

Don't you guys like change? New art is great and should replace existing art for Amber. Please do not create a new character just to make a new character.
If you do make her into a new character, you should probably just make her into Amber's sister that lives in the capitol or something similar, because there are quite a few similarities between them.
Why not make the new Amber the owner of an adventurer shop at the capital?
I think the new art is overall better, so it would be a shame to not use it, but the old fits the character better (outfit, skin tone, expressions etc)
I like the character herself, but the skintight latex just feels too critical for the character concept to discard, so imo either art works as long as it has that
I just want to say, even though im not fond of the new design, you didn't do anything wrong by trying to update it. In fact, you have my respect for making this poll upon seeing the split in opinion. Don't take our dislike personally and keep doing you!
I like the new design and don't care that she might look more "seductive" instead of "assassin" like others have mentioned, as I think an assassin can use sex appeal as a weapon if she so wants to. But, if we can add a whole new character with her own unique dialogue and scenes, then why not? Good potential to introduce a sibling or relative to Amber or do what other developers have done and create a different version of the shopkeeper who finds herself 'corrupted' or something and let players decide if they want to cure her or not. Then she can go back to being the closeted-pervert who doesn't want to embrace her sexuality and just sell players the dildos she probably secretly used in the backroom, for those who like her that way. Regardless of just updating the current Amber or creating a new character, I choose the new Amber's design.
I really like the new design, but it doesn’t fit, maybe it’s better to leave it as a twin or something?
I like new amber's body, but her expressions don't fit the existing character's standoffish behavior.
Some other people mentioned this as well, but the only change I didn’t like was the hairstyle, everything else I’m good with either way
I agree. Leave the hair long
The only thing I dislike about the new art is that her breast size was increased. I prefer small breasts, so I dislike the trend of new art = larger breasts.
Double up on this.
...I like the new design? But I don't want to just discard the old art? I don't know. Maybe a "half-sister" who's a different kind of elf but has a similar personality? I'm just glad the new art kept the same attitude.
I feel the final three options don't really serve a purpose for resolving the the amber/nuamber issue, and the middle three only tangentially involve it. Which art do you like more doesn't mean which fits the character better.
That's the spot where you can tell me if this was a good idea even in the first place given how out of left field this move was. :D
I like the new design mostly. Although i'm not opposed it being on a new character.
I preferred Amber’s old design, as I have a small thing for “moody goth girls”, but I’m not adverse to change.
New Amber is ok. Give more Kotone 😁
Like the new design. Prefer old clothing
I really like the new design but i prefer old amber's hairstyle.
☑ New Design is killer, but it needs the scarf back
