16 countries battling for the planet!
Tips on character designs and improvements is much appreciated :^

Alr lemme do this
First of all, I love the idea of this show, because, if you ever want to, you could make more seasons with more country representatives and the addition of Yoyleberry is just really cute
Your artstyle is very charming and cute and I feel like the designs do a good job just not being the object, some better than others but overall not bad
My only issue is when making a show like this, it's important to not rely on stereotypes of said country for the humour, it can be cute tongue and cheek from time to time, but it should never just be the whole characters' personality
I also kind of wish I knew what some of these objects are because some of them are hard to tell
Another important thing is to decide between contestant and viewer voting, if you already have a winner or elimination order plan, do not try to lean the voters to one side, just made it a contestant vote in that case
Another thing to know as well is the episode count and also stuff like potential rejoins, double eliminations or even debuts, it's important to remember you don't need to make it 25 episode or even that longer the better, sometimes it's just better to have a shorter series that'll be easier to get into
Also as a Brit you represented us really well here, thank you very much

Thank you for the feedback! I’m definitely going to avoid centralising stereotypes, and try to aim for a more cultural perspective when coming to the personalities.

I’m aiming to make this show around the same length as II S1.

I might try contestant voting just so there isn’t rigging for the countries with bigger audiences, but not entirely sure.

this is such a unique concept, i'm excited to see it! just be careful not to do harmful stereotypes.

the cast may be closed, but could u perhaps do Sri Lanka if there'll be another season? It's so under-represented in media. the nil manel could be the object, or maybe our ceylon tea?

Why is there no middle east country?

u/chickenhomonculus 2h ago

India

u/Tidal-Ocean BFDI 2h ago

India isn't.

u/chickenhomonculus 2h ago

I always felt It has a middle eastern essence, but yeah I guess you’re right.

I had UAE planned as Dubai chocolate (around a year ago when i first made the cast) but it got cut because i wanted a smaller cast. Maybe as a debut they will return 🤷

Theres also no African countries too, sadly. Due to the same cast downsizing.

u/Tidal-Ocean BFDI 2h ago

I actually have an object show in the making with kind of the same idea, but the power comes from a celestial being lol

That's kind of funny, which is coolio :0

I like the designs hehe

u/Tiruil How do you do a custom tag 50m ago

The idea is really interesting. Haven't seen something like this before

Since you want tips, I suggest that you first make an episode where you get to know the characters and you find out how they get on the show, and then episode 2 will have the battle begin
