Foremost, thank you all for your understanding with the news of delaying the release of Birthstone colors.
We would like to clarify why we have decided to do this, while showing some behind-the-scenes art too.
Your thoughts & feedback are greatly appreciated going forward!
1. The Birthstone designs as a whole set are not complete.
This is causing us to become behind schedule, making monthly updates a very difficult task. This means their quality is at risk due to being rushed--something we really don't want to happen.
2. The designs must be finished together so that each is unique and fun!
This ensures they are all properly balanced with each other. Pausing is now allowing us the proper time to explore the full potential for each Birthstone's design.
Here is an example of Aquamarine's design currently (left), and one aspect of how we plan to improve them (right). Keep in mind this specific design you see will be changing as we continue to develop it!
3. There are inconsistencies we want to refine to make the project stronger as a whole.
Our Creatu are very different from each other in terms of anatomy, and sometimes we need to adjust the design to make it look better on certain types. When this happens, we like to establish guidelines for consistency to make each pet look as amazing a possible.
We want to recognize those who are concerned for how the existing Birthstone Creatu you've come to know will be changing. Our artists carry that knowledge with them as they continue to explore and refine them so that these updates will knock your socks off!
These are the reasons we're taking a step back and putting a pause on releasing more, for now. Despite the disappointment in the delay, we hope you're excited to see what will come of them!
We want to really make Birthstone colors something truly special! 💎
