iirc it was a bootleg shirt.Hold on that slimer? It looks like a joke you expect out of a cartoon where the cast sells their look for money, and this is the punchline where the stuff being sold looks like bootlegs.
ValiDate - an upcoming (and unsurprisingly racist) visual novel made by SJW's, for SJW's. Currently MIA.

It's shit like this that makes me wish Poe's Law wasn't a thing. The whole thing is like a caricature of early-to-mid 2010s SJW culture except played completely straight (As far as we know, at least).
The only good thing I can see coming out of this game is a let's player playing it and mocking it to hell and back.

Homestuck Pesterquest had different artists draw the character sprites, so it's good enough for them. The art quality also varies massively, but at least with Pesterquest you can tell some of the artists took inspiration from visual novel sprites (like Danganronpa's art). All of these characters remind me of that infamous Hamilton fanart that had Thomas Jefferson as a trans guy wearing a Hatsune Miku patterned binder.

They look more like normal furry versions of characters rather then animal crossing.

What fucking stretch goals? I can't find a Kickstarter campaign anywhere on their shit. If they do have one, they are doing a fucking god awful job advertising it.They reached the goals.
I did find their Patreon [archive], it's making a grand total of 22$ from 4 patrons. If that's a sign of anything, it's that they will NEVER hit even remotely close to a 16k goal.

there are two tiers, a 5 dollar tier, and a 10 dollar tier,
Here's the best possible result of the 4 patrons giving their money for this shit that totals up to $22 a month: either 3 out of 4 patrons are giving $5 and the 4th patron are giving $7 or 2 out of 4 patrons backing this up are giving $10 and the other two are giving a dollar.

I think they are just setting up a kickstarter page rn? I honestly looking forward for a kickstarter saga.
Plus they have ko-fi and patreon, they are trying to m1lk it dry lol. Reminds me of YandereDev.

You get a thank you note for spending 10 but not 5.
Very ungrateful, shameful even.

But YandereDev found the perfect niche of autism to squeeze money out that don't care that he couldn't program a game of Tic-Tac-Toe if he had a gun to his head.

FIFTEEN FUCKING PEOPLE are working on this according to their team page. Holy shit!
Napkin math: 15*60k (mid-range salary for gamedev) = 900k. Kickstarter fee is presumably 25%. That's well over $1m needed if they want to pocket a decent, 1-year salary for the whole team. You can halve that amount for something more "realistic". Not even going to get into taxes, which will easily suck away 25% given how few write-offs there are in indie development.
All this is to say that their stretch goal of 32k is "We'll include a white person", sealing their fate at $31,999, meaning everyone will pocket <$2k at the very most, which would barely cover a month's worth of expenses. If they were 200 IQ, then they would've included a white person by default and set a stretch goal of $10m to remove them. Their loss.
Day 1 pirate BTW.

> assuming their skills are high enough even for entry level gamedev positions, nonetheless a middle level.
> assuming they would work on it 8hr a day 5/2 to get a full time salary.
Also I hope kiwis will do a let’s play here!

I'm seeing an awful lot of assumptions here. This game isn't fucking Call of Duty, it's a goddamn VN that is almost definitely running on Ren'Py. Also, what the fuck do they need 15 people for? IT'S A FUCKING VN. Cut out the unnecessary fat. You need 1/2 artists (that way all of your art is consistent and doesn't look like you ransacked your favourite designs from other people's games), a handful of writers to do each route, and 1, maybe 2 people to do music.
This whole ordeal screams of "but we want to include all of our friends so they can get paid, even if they suck ass at whatever their job is".
This VN is going to be a fucking bipolar mess where nothing fits.

again, i'm 99% sure that none of these dudes are actual employees who gets paid an actual salary. this is just a bunch of friends and acquaintances who probably met at art school and don't have anything to do with their time anyway, so they're doing this thing as a for-fun project.
basically, like when two comp sci nerd friends at university decide to make a hyper autistic mod for some obscure niche game for fun in their spare time, but instead of comp sci nerds this is a bunch of sjw artists and instead of making underground niche autism game mods they're making a tasteless VN

Yeah, Animal crossing horses and... goats? have very distinct head shapes, which these most definitely aren't.
While I'm at it, why does the fucking bird have stretch marks on it's plumage?
The only one I could see genuinely fitting in AC in the pink cat.
Also, their hands all look terrible, especially in light of their stylised feet. Someone who already can't draw hands looked at the cat and said 'yeah, let's add skin-colour claws.

These look like something a grade-schooler might draw. Is this really the professional look they want to give?

it definitely gives off the feeling that the artist never learned to draw anything else than humans, well, if you call those atrocious designs human
