Arguments like this are dumb. Extremely so. You can create one for just about any change, ala, "What, you're embarrassed by our current kewl aesthetic?" I can also bet that a large amount of folks don't even know or care about the reference.

The change itself, for critters to look like actual space critters, IMO, is not a bad one. Adds to believability.

No it doesnt add to believability. Its just disavowing one of auroras last remaining roots to dwarf fortess and the original aesthetic of the game. Sure you can make the argument for a lot. Thats what an argument is. A dissenting opinion.

I have resprites for Icarus drones laying around if people are interested in that, as the current ones look goofy too. These were made about a year-ish ago.

It's not necessarily a terrible thing to move away from 'the last remaining roots' of another completely different game, whatever that means.

That being said, Aurora having its own distinct design from the other servers is why I like it a lot. Kyres' masterful spriting helps Aurora gradually create its own visual identity.

Merged with only the actual mobs getting the new sprites.

Novelties, such as the hologram, plushie, or holocarp, will remain as the old sprites. Primarily because the old sprite makes a bit more sense in those context.

And my reasoning over the matter is maintained, with more believable space critters being a generally positive thing.

Since PR was merged, moving the thread to complete projects.
