This is kind of an unusual case. I'd like to add pictures for the character entries that don't have any, but since most of the missing characters don't appear in cutscenes so far, I don't have much to go on.

I've gone into the files and found their facesprites and overworld sprites, but individually, they're each too small to be uploaded. I don't know how big I could blow them up before they lose their quality.

All I can think to do is get screenshots of these sprites from the game itself, since they appear bigger in the actual game, but I'm not sure if the quality would be worse or not.

Is there anything we can do?

Opened. If actual game sprites aren't viable, and fan art exists, we could go that route.

I don't think the game is popular enough yet to have any fanart, but I think the creator posted some original artwork of the characters on the game's official Discord chat. The designs might be slightly different from how the characters appear in-game, though.

I just realized that the characters Tenor and Charles do in fact have cutscene images, which is where I've been getting the pictures for the other characters from.

Are these good?

Charles (4.1)

Tenor (4.2)

Now, there's something I wanted to try for the characters who don't have cutscene images...

Out of the next two pictures: The first one is a character's face ripped from the sprite sheets in the game files, and blown up to fit the minimum size for the image uploader. The second is the same face as taken from a screenshot in the game, also blown up.

Do either of these look okay? Is there a noticeable downgrade in quality? If either of these looks good, is it okay to use that process for all the other characters?

Bump. In addition to the above, I have a suggestion for the character Frutti. He doesn't have a dialogue sprite that I know of, but his overworld sprite looks big enough that I could expand the size without losing too much quality.

I'd also like to suggest a replacement for Staya's picture.

Frutti (5.1)

Okay, TL:DR for my posts here:

I need to know if 4.1, 4.2, and 5.1 are okay to be added to their respective characters' imageless entries. I also need to know if 5.2 is okay to replace Staya's entry (under "Bosses/Antagonists")

Finally, I need to know which process is better for getting the rest of the pictures: The one I used for 4.3, or the one I used for 4.4.

The clock's up. Go ahead with the changes. As for the second question, whichever yields a better quality pic is fine.

Locking up.
