I'm excited for everything we've seen so far, but this does plant a bit of worry in my mind- the sketch looks good, but it also leans back into Furry territory of design, whereas the models you had been using before intentionally pushed into a more "medium" ground where even people who weren't into Furry stuff could enjoy the game.
If one or two full Furry models were added to appeal to that audience I wouldn't mind, and don't see much of an issue at all, but if all of them wind up sliding into that valley... Eh... Yeah, I might just stick to the old version of the game, and I worry there might be a not small portion of the playerbase that might as well.
Which sucks because I can see the passion and potential this project has, and I'd hate to not be able to enjoy it- or worse, for it's launch (re-launch?) to fumble a bit or lose traction because portion of the original playerbase dipped.
