So I'm re-doing some of my Do Not Press The Button (Or You'll Delete The Multiverse) character models and I have this duck that is kind of inspired by the Companion Cube in Portal. I want to make it as appealing as possible so the players will attach to it and carry it around with them. Which looks better! I'm more partial to the neck tie (because I like wearing them) but what do you guys think?

(If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam will be well appreciated STEAM )

Neck tie. You could also make it all lopsided and loose when the duck is all discombobulated, it'd be mad cute.

What about a bolo tie and a cowboy hat?

Why not both and add a few more. Make the game randomize which attire the duck has from a limited pool of costumes and force a change maybe as often as after every save/load/level.

Totally unnecessary but silly feature. If there is any mention of the duck in the environment/narration you can add jokes about ducks being indecisive.

Interesting idea I will try to explore it. Not sure how to randomize assets tho but probably there is a way : )

¿Por que no los dos?

Let's see what a combination neck and bow tie looks like on the lil guy.

Hah, might be too much, but It seems that most people like the bow tie better.

Neck and it's not even close

[–] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The bow tie looks like a duck I would carry around and love, the neck tue looks like a duck you punch in the face. That might also have to do with the angle and eye, but the bow tie makes it look better and more loving.

I vote for a bolo tie.

[–] kipo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

I think the neck tie looks better overall, but I still prefer the bow tie because I have a much more positive association with them. I see people put bowtie collars on their cats and it's always adorable. When I see neckties on an animal, I either think 'cute animal that's always getting down to business' or 'criminal'.

Necktie - it fits the hat

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The pictures are different, so it's hard to evaluate them the same. Objectively the bowtie makes it all too crowded around his face. On a more subjective note, it might be because of the lighting, but the necktie looks like a distinguished gentleman, whereas the bowtie is giving me serial killer vibes.

Bowtie for any duck. But not for humans.
