minespatch Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Winona just got both Snowfallen and Merrymaker skins, can someone explain the differences between the two? How does Hollow apply to Wormwood as a mushroom? If there were more Abyssal and Oasis skins, how would that affect other characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigfrids hat Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 i think the hollowed husk of a tree that comprizes most of his body is the "hollow" and the mushroom is only the "bloom" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenomeSquirrel Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Snowfallen is snow based, focused on cold colors like white and blue. Merrymaker is more Xmas red and green based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Safety Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The best way I can answer the first question is that, to my understanding, snowfallen is winter themed, merrymaker is holiday themed. Definitely just my opinion, but if they made a Hollow Collection, I would see it as cave dwellers. Wormwood would be a manifestation of the undergrown blue mushtree biome. Maybe the others would have cave oriented items incorporated, like wrapped in foliage or dripping with slurtle slime and broken shells. Maxwell would probably be donning some weird cosmetic armor that is similar to ruins turf. Wolfgang would have glowberry juice all over his mouth. Stuff like that maybe? Abyssal would really seem to only apply to Wurt since she is a fish from an abyss, but I'd imagine the rest of the cast might look like the cursed crew from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Undead people who drowned? I dunno it's a stretch but it's the only sense I can make from it lol As for Oasis, I'd imagine clothes for a tropical luau. Grass skirts, hawaiian shirts, shell bracelets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was thinking with Abyssal. With Oasis, I was thinking more like a Arab desert attire but there is deserts all over the world. So who knows, your idea could work for certain characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love wearing them irl so having a cosmetic one that isn't an underused way to stay cool in summer would be nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinancoTheBest Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Oh I'd love a desert theme Oasis-bound skin set for everyone, imagine all DST characters in proper desert attires. About the Winter's Feast skins, as far as I see it, Snowfallen is purely an elemental collection, almost like the opposite of Magmatic where the theme is Snow and Ice of Winter. Merrymaker, on the other hand, is very much holiday cheers themed, with characters themselves up with jolly Christmas inspired attire. For instance while Snowfallen turns Wortox to a snowy mountain imp, a Merrymaker skin for him would make him resemble Santa's reindeer. As far as our actual characters with both skins go WX-78 is a Mr. Freeze inspired freezer robot while Merrimaker set dresses up as the famous wooden toy soldier from Nutcracker of festive stories. Similarly Winona joins Wickerbottom in becoming as literal "Ice queen" in her snowfallen skin while her merrymaker skin dresses her up as a carol singer/xmas enforcer. Hollow is an interesting one, like most of the one character only skins, is themed around a specific character, literally turning him to the hollow tusk of a tree. Nevertheless if they were to apply the theme to other survivors, I can imagine very bleak, macabre designs, with little color, evoking feelings of emptiness and caves. In a similar vein, it's exciting to imagine other single character sets being expanded to other characters, like Woodie's Team Player putting all survivors into the attires of their preferred sports, Wigfrid's Winged victory set granting the whole cast Viking themed dressing, and Baby Doll survivors, Blue Collar Worker survivors, Fisherman Crew survivors, Hereditary survivors (could give interesting story tidbits on each survivors' family), Young Innocent survivors, Bioluminescence Survivors, Cop-prisoner Survivors, Ancient Greek Mythology themed survivors etc. I can even see Webber getting an Uncorrupted skin in the form of his uneaten boy form with a spider hoodie.

Snowfallen is a snow themed set while Merrymakers are a Christmasy caroler themed skinset. idk These skins I like to call Vanity skins, most of the new and reworked characters have 1 (or 2?) skins that dont have an actual set.

It feels like they kinda dropped the concept of 'it has to be a skin set-able to be a new skin type', not like we will see any bonus _factory/Voxola skins for all the others, or _haunteddoll/Forlorn Doll and blah blah blah. Sure some of these themes are doable if you stretch them a bit, but I dont think they will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNaxeros Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I feel like Klei wants to make at least one exclusive outfit "set" for every character. That is something differentiating that character from the crowd. I'd be totaly down for some arabian Oasis skins, but I think that this set will only stay as an unique cactus for Wormwood.

Yea it seems like besides the shared collections, they are going for a "Character Unique" collection for each character, as seen through Rework releases. But, what's peculiar to me is that Wortox and Wormwood have 2 unique sets; Minotaur and Uncorrupted for Wortox, and Hollow and Oasis Bound for Wormwood. I'd at least love if they made one set for both characters apply to other survivors too. Arabian Desert outfits and Greek Mythology outfits would be my pick.

Like, Industrious makes sense for Winona, it's her Voxola Industries uniform. Minotaur and Uncorrupted fit Wortox, famous monster and we've seen non corrupt Wortox. Sets for Wormwood, are usually based on popular basing spots. Hollow is for caves, Oasis is for, well, the Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
