Hm.. I like the concept for the game, but as for the art, well, I noticed some problems there.

Like, the head is very big compared to the body, even for a ~ 12 year old the head should be smaller. And if he is at about that age he has a pretty high forehead, he will surely go bald by 25.

Hand postures in pic 2 + 3 seem really unnatural. I don't expect him to know the perfect way to hold a Katana or a staff(?), but the way he is doing it now is awkward.

And yea the most glaring thing ofcourse is the rubber/latex like cloths.. is that a conscious design choice?

Each character has their own story, but they are all connected in a way. It just so happens, each character has a flaw that will have a huge impact on gameplay.

That's a basic concept. As attaboy noted, it's very much a work-in-progress. We know there's still plenty to do. I just wanted to bring everyone up-to-date on what's what.

"3. He/she suffers from Meniere's Disease - one that attacks the inner ear, causing vertigo, balancing/hearing issues, and, sometimes, slight memory loss (all such features will be represented in-game)."

this part has me very interesated. its rather unique that you play as a character with a rather serious disease. and i actually am very interested to see how this plays out. my question is in regard to this, since the first character you revealed has this disease and seems to be rather a large focus on the game, it surely means that you and the team have a meaning behind the video game? if so, can you discuss it? 

another thing, can you tell us the genre of the game?
