    I think the rogue should be a different color, like the traditional 'evil guy' black-hat and maybe a white one? Plantation hat anyone? At any rate, they're all looking pretty cool, especially the Bandito and Gambler :3 those two are awesome.

    Does it bother anyone else that on the armour where the where the Novakid underneath is visible, they are all different colors?
    It starts off Blue, and then goes to green.

    I like the western theme, but I feel like they should be more futuristic, may be they need metal cowboys hats ?

    Clockwork is awesome.

    That gambler armor, ugh, i want it so hard.
    Nice job guys! Like them all, some feel a bit weird, but I can get into the space-desert-cowboy-pew-pew in a second with those armors on!

    aight... IJUST started a novakid in the nightly release... i was bummed they didn't have their own armor yet, but seeing this makes me all excited again :D

    This is just a minor quibble, but shouldn't a set based off a wild west doctor be Sawbones? Typically, that's the slang for the medic. A bonesaw is the tool.

  9. Awe. I was hoping one of the armor sets would be a little more Native American. With a headdress or some such (think less Aztec and more Navajo). So many cowboy hats. Oh well -- they look cool regardless.

    Looking good. Some of them feels way too goofy, but I'll take it. It's just a shame the novakid brand will be hidden further along the tier progression, but that's understandable as that is a potential weak spot IIRC.

    Also clockwork armor?? So they ARE stempunks! Now give me my giant-mecha-steam-spider! A tech maybe?

    Well, you can always outfit them with some avian clothes...

    Looks really great, the bonesaw armor in my opinion looks the best. But of them looks apsolutely fantazmal!

    These are grand! The bandito is perfect! I didn't know if I was all for space cowboys with the train and all but I'm all in for this now! Get my pistols and get to robbing! :party:

    I'm taking the Varmint, Sheriff and the Clockwork! Now, I wonder if some of those heads can be separated, so that other races can partly cosplay as them?

    I hope they do, so that Leather could get more usage!

    These armors follow one theme which is good, unlike most of the other current tiered armor.

    One of the Nova's good traits is the unique symbol you have for a face, so why cover it up?

    Please make the Bonesaw mask (minus the hat) as a separate Vanity item! :love:

    i really dont like how the names go from good guy to bad guy and then the good guy again with the sheriff and the deputy teirs

    It makes some sense to the Novakid's forgetful, goldfish-tier attention span...

    Here's my take for now, I'll make it into a mod shortly for the Stable users...

    I think most of these (or parts of most of them) range from looking okay to awful. The Varmint especially with it's glaring unnecessary purple, and bug eyed...goggles? Most of it looks like it has recycled pieces or too many themes trying to be jammed in at once.

    For the most part, I just think all the cowboy hats are super cliche and don't add anything. Not everybody out west is a cowboy. Also cowboy hats on top of helmets...are you serious?

    I could give constructive criticism on exactly what I don't like, but I guess everyone is eating this up, and it's probably all relatively final. I think the Bonesaw is especially cool.

    It's just a shame. Everyone on Chucklefish seems to be relatively competent as a pixel artist, but in terms of design decision...sometimes it seems like direction or inspiration is lacking.

    Thinking about a previous post of a 'gunslinger' pose what if each race had a singular particular pose or dance to them? Just a thought to it.
