Sanitar Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 The design of the new bosses does not look Undead, but just living creatures that have been assimilated by the moon. If it's still "Undead", then how should I change the design of the bosses, and if it's according to the idea of the developers, these are living beings, then how should I change the name to change the name of an update like "Rebirth" or another I apologize for my poor English.

JustAFlower Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 It will be creepier if Klei makes their theme distorted and awkward to listen to. (And it will fit more in the update's name I guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzzydzzy Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 They're literal zombies, rotting corpses being possessed by gestalts. That's pretty horrifying. Plus the release will be close to Halloween, so it all seems thematically relevant to me. I suppose Bearger's design looks a bit too animated to me, I think it has to do with the eyes being unchanged from living Bearger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblinball Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I mean, their bosses are being used as hosts for the horrific lunar stuff so it fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But if they are undead, then they should look like undead to me. In the same PVZ, zombies look like zombies, but they also have PEGI +12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays they play games with worse things You actually have a point, DST goes lighthearted and kid friendly despite being a game rated Teen (13+) however… Minecraft a game rated E for Everyone has a freaking skin of a Zombie with half her flesh rotting off and bones protruding outward. This is a kids game… DST however is rated T which puts it in the same category with games like It Takes Two and Batman Arkham.. I think the truth of lack in body horror is that it made a few members of the community physically uncomfortable and Klei then decided to steer away from that direction. However with this new update and dead corpses reanimating to life being possessed by Gashalts, I can’t help but wish they would’ve stuck to the Lunar Horrors theme.

Theukon-dos Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Eh. They may not be the most terrifying thing ever, but they're definitely a cut above most of DST's mobs when it comes to horror aspect. Deerclops especially I think is real unsettling, given all the ice spikes portruding form it's body. And if you want to be technically, the "Horrors" in "Host of Horrors" could be referring to the Gestalts. The giants are "hosts" for the parasitic entities that control them after all.

. . . Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The new designs look lackluster and uncreative. Hound and pengull old body horror designs will always be superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonboooorn Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I cant look at reanimated bearger without cringin out. I mean, have you seen moonbound Maxwell?

cropo Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Doesn't China have a lot of strict rules regarding depiction of rotting and undead things? Surely that might have factored in to it a little? Plus I like the more mystical looks of the creatures rather than them just being giant piles of gore myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanitar Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 By the way, I had an idea how to make them more "scary", "zombies". Remove all their facial expressions and make them emotionless. So after all, if they are controlled by gestalts, then they should not experience emotions in their bodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
