Character design coloring choices - Hana
Hello there!
We would like to discuss some design changes that were made to the characters during development, particularly in their coloring. Look at the thought process behind those changes and explain what they are.
Today we are going to start with Hana!
Hana underwent significant changes in her color palette.
Her initial design was an embodiment of moe and we were pleased with it. However, we later noticed that Hana's bright and saturated colors caused a significant imbalance in the game's overall color palette.
Can you see the strong contrast between Hana and the game map coloring?
While working on the recoloring process, we not only focused on achieving harmony between the game and the character.
Considering the nature of our game, we wanted to amplify Hana's erotic appeal. Moreover, we took into account that the game takes place on an island in the middle of the ocean, where the sun is strong, so we looked for changes that would better fit the setting.
The final result was a significant improvement!
Hana's darker tone and overall less saturated colors allowed her to blend better into the game's overall color design, making her a more fitting part of the game's setting and numerous H scenes, as her new colors better emphasized her sexual appeal.
How about you? Do you like Hana's new version?
