Because ya developers gay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No but seriously, the designs are pretty old and both my fiance and I made them back in high school. The game itself was rushed within the span of about a week and a half, so I ended up drawing the old designs instead of working on new nicer ones.
The pink haired one(Allar) is supposed to be wearing Decora fashion ( https://j-fashion.fandom.com/wiki/Decora)
The red haired one(Louie) however was just wearing a sweater we used to draw him in all the time.
The art was also super rushed, so it ended up being drawn really late into the night when I was half asleep. It turned out super wonky I know, the next game they're in they'll look a lot nicer.
Though I have to say, I looked at your profile and you seem pretty young so i'm going to give you a little advice:
Maybe don't ask things like " Why do they look gay?" Despite the fact that you said no offense, a lot of people can take that the wrong way. With the way things are on the internet, people can be really cruel and harass you over things like that and I would really hate for that to happen to you. I know you didn't mean it as an insult, but others might not care D:
Anyways aside from that, I hope you like the game if you do decide to play it! And I hope you continue to have fun playing games off of itchio! :D
