Genie Engie fanservice needed

Also regarding the fanservice issue, personally I think due to the nature of the character (Shantae) it does make her more endearing than sexualised.

So THAT was the name of that character. I used to think it was Rouge from Power Stone.

[url=#user_comment_335618]@Scejthe[/url]: My point exactly, fanservice should be there as a side feature, not as THE feature.

[url=#user_comment_335568]@Raxyz[/url] Well said. Some fanservice can be done well, but when the whole game revolves around it, it ruins the game. Looking at you DoA bikini games... if you want to call them games -sigh- And Ruby is all kinds of bad ass.

Anyone here with spare money, donate at least $1 dollar to the Kickstarter!

Wayforward's making way better games than EA and people who you complain about but still throw money at, so why not throw money at these guys?

Shantae looks pretty cool. OTOH, Jo, it's entirely possible to be a supporter of nostalgia *and* a pervert at the same time. ;-)

[url=#user_comment_335561]@Ivresse[/url]: I fully endorse these idea and it'll be the best comic ever made... it'd probably push Engie-tan to a Pyro-level of crazy (the universe would also implode, but who cares?) You heard it Jo, make it happen =D! Thew in a version of Mighty No. 9 Call while you're at it!

About the skin tune how about diffrent color palletes? I dig both her new and old color schemes.

I heard of Shantae before, kinda underrated though.

Hi there:

Years ago, i played Shantae and i must admit that the main character is cute. However, the game is so-so.

I didn't played the classic either, but platformers are on a "don't care" way with fanservice, with or without makes no difference to me. It seems a great platformer (which is my fave genre), which means i'm with you on this one, gonna support too.
On a sidenote, this character limitation is annoy

Honestly, i don't care for fanservice, kind of. A game like Bayonetta for example, i think fanservice denigrates the character image. I prefer the kind of character like Ruby (Wet). But games like Record of Agarest War just seem plain WRONG without fanservice.

Check your English on this one. "I'm gonna support this one." and "I've been unfair with you." Otherwise great comic!

[url=#user_comment_335561]@Ivresse[/url]: In the name of ALL my fellows readers of NerfNOW and myself, I FULLY support your idea, pal. Come on Jo, a crossing arc with the Lusty Argonian Maid, Minette and Shantae will bu totally awesome!

Surely you should have a comic with Shantae, Minette AND the Lusty Argonian Maid together, that would probably cause a massive cosmic event the likes of which we've never seen before...

Continuing: However, this new artwork does stand out as the lightest she's been since back in the GBC days, so I'm sure we'll adjust it once we have our character lineup established. This is a great example of Kickstarter comments shaping the eventual product, so please make your opinions heard!"

[url=#user_comment_335555]@VioletZer0[/url] "Hi friends! Since there were a lot of comments regarding skin tone, we lined up all the Shantae artwork from past games, and the skin tones are all over the board. We've always left this to artist discretion in the past.

@Zac Caslar: Oh man Valis, pretty hot when I saw the Japanese cover for that game when I was young. Maybe that's why I'm a leg guy.

I hate to point out this Elephant in the room (har har har Shantae joke) but Shantae is looking awful...white.
over 11 years ago
Much like.
Maybe Yuko (Valis and Annette (El Viento) will come back, too!
Kind of a Renaissance for old school heroines.

Wait! Shantae an minnette? Seriously Jo what are you trying to do give your fans a heart attack? Make the explode.... I think the comments section and photo notes would implode on itself. Be careful there Jo those are powerful forces you are handling there.

The game seems to have delicious gameplay, delicious soundtrack and delicious 2D sprites including monstergirl sprites and belly dancing! What's not to like?
