One of the biggest points of criticism we received for Minotaur Hotel is the human NPC sprites. We've been insisting for a while that making the characters look kind of ugly and naturalistic to contrast with divine beings is a conscious design decision, but it seems like that is not being conveyed properly, so this is something I'd like to improve going forward.

And... going backward. A while ago I made a post with the updated Greta sprite we'll be using starting in 0.6 (seen below for comparison)

(also don't worry the old sprite is still there if you play with the speedrunner background)

So, I'd like to hear your opinions. Would you guys say this is a substantial improvement? Does it convey the idea that Greta is not exactly a looker, without coming across as an excuse for bad art? If so, what would you say needs to be fixed?

And besides Greta, I'm going to post all the human NPC sprites currently below (well, not all of these characters are human, but you know what I mean). Which ones would you guys say would really benefit from an updated sprite? What's the one sprite that makes you go "Minotaur Hotel's human characters look really bad"?

I'd say the nuns look a bit out off, especially the one without the sunglasses

The unintentional consequence here is that the frumpiness makes Greta endearing. I get the feeling we should hate her but Greta said nothing wrong and she would have changed the world for the better if we went along with it. Queen shit!!! 

Anyways if you update her you might as well update Ishmael for the sake of noticeable disparity. Aside from Jean/Hermes who looks fine, Greta and Ishmael have the most time on screen. 

Oh.  Have we seen all we'll see from Mr. Vase painting in pink?  If not he could use more expressions at least.

Well okay it's more of a red.

I'm going to go ahead and say it. The nuns, especially the one in the sunglasses, are perfect to me. Considering where you encounter them the fact that they look like they are entirely done with this shit and ready to throw down if need be just fits so well in the narrative. If you do any sort of rework of them definitely continue going for that vibe.
