the old bee might be more sweet but it had too simple shapes and its animations are also very sloppy. a few people mentioned that the bee and the enviroment don't match well together and we think the new one fits better. Also the new bee will have much more complex animations and the bee will get an improved skin (with a happier face).
We're doing the animations right now. The "stand"-animation is already done and we are half through the fly animation... only the leg-movements are missing:
further we planned a turbo, a shot and a damage-animation.
