December 2013?

[Moonblink]

From what I read in your FAQ the game should be out for backers some time in December 13? I think this will be a fun game how about replacing the the people with anything other than that same people used in prison architect? I would rather see people with hands and legs than just blobs. Reminds me of Wii lame animations.

That was a typo. The public alpha will be in January.

(...) how about replacing the the people with anything other than that same people used in prison architect?

How about doing some research ?
Here's what the FAQ says on the KickStarter page:
"It looks a lot like Prison Architect. What's up with that?

Blame my (Tynan's) lack of art skill - especially with characters. I made the character art you see in the trailer as a stopgap, and borrowed the Prison Architect style because I'm not a good enough artist to develop a new one. They were never intended to be final. With this Kickstarter, we'll be able to get a real artist who can sit down and develop an original style for RimWorld."

Sorry, but you're out of luck:

"If you squint it will always look like Prison Architect.

It'll always have this clean, pseudo-vector look. It'll always have the same viewpoint. The interface has been heavily iterated upon and will stay similar to how it is.

What I want to change most of all are the characters. I'm already taking to an artist who is working on some character sprites after a long back and forth getting the style down. They'll still be limbless and somewhat vector-y and simple to recognize at a distance, and still only have 3 animation frames, all for practical reasons. But they won't look exactly like PA."

I love this style, it allows all actions without complicated animations and without cluttering the screen with unnecessary limbs.

I would like to see hands though, maybe the tools and the guns as well when being used. I understand that that might complicate the animation.

They may appear and disappear when necessary.

I typo'd it in the Kickstarter and changed it some time in the first week.

absolutely agree with you there... definitely a case of less is more... i've really taken to the art style, and hope the overall look doesnt change too terribly much, aside from giving RW its own uniqueness...

arent the charachters to small to actually show stuff like hands.
Might start to look messy

Might start to look messy

unless i misunderstood the post i quoted, i think we're in agreement here... no hands/limbs is the ideal...
