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 )

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.

Bowtie for any duck. But not for humans.

Bow tie. Needs a waistcoat.

My issue is the disparity of the pictures, with the bowtie picture having the duck's entire neck almost completely in shadow, while the shadow is comparatively minimized on the necktie image. It'd be nice to see both options under both light and dark conditions.

That said, I currently prefer the necktie; it provides an element to the rest of the body. I'm the bowtie picture, everything is happening around the head - beak, eyes, hat, bowtie - leaving the rest of the body comparatively empty.

Bowtie, but also, maybe add a vest and a cane?

Asking the real questions here.

Bowtie.

I really like the neck tie. Contrast feels stronger.

Thank you! Finally someone that likes the neck tie!

The necktie, but I think it would look better just slightly larger.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Bowtie, but I think the neck tie could stand a better chance if it was wider IMO.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bow tie, not sure why, I just find it more visually appealing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Thank you : )

¿Por que no los dos?

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bowtie for the duck. Not for me though.

Bowtie, but also prefer them IRL over a necktie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah I like them too, but there aren't many occasions that you can wear one

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The neck tie has the appeal of flapping around in the wind.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Unfortunately most of the game takes place indoors so no wind, but I can make it to flap around when you carry the duck which is a cool idea
