Teaser Update, Jan. 6: A look at a new shader

We expected feedback, and we knew it would be useful. (We know you, after all.) But we didn't expect the sheer volume of useful feedback you guys submitted about the first round of shaders. We collated the thousands of comments and suggestions as best we could, passed them along to Inti Creates—what you liked, what else you wanted to see, what you thought they should work on—and they've been reading through them and working on the next set of screenshots ever since.

The work kept them from hitting their end-of-December goal. So here, by way of an apology, is a teaser image IGA passed along to us: Miriam demonstrating a shader Inti Creates has been refining.

IGA's comments:

Since we heard that the backers wanted a more illustration-like feel, we had Inti Creates work on several methods of making that possible. Out of the options they showed us, we really liked this "toon" shader right away. The background is not ready yet, but I've had them put together a preview of just Miriam. I hope you can understand why we like it so much.

The team hopes to have some more screenshots to show you in our next full update, which we plan to have ready in the next week—along with a special shader-feedback edition of Ask IGA.
