Well, they are more refined than they used to be, certainly, fewer harsh edges, more natural muscle tone, better shapes overall. They are all distinctly Andalusian or Fiesian, ( was going to say Azteca but I don't know how many people know that that is.)
Of course there are more desert-type horses than Arabians, there's Turkomen, Akhal-Teke, Kaimanawa, Kathiawari and Marwari as well. All those breeds are light and lithe but they range in height and form, Turks and Tekes being more hotblood-esque and I'm hoping the desert horses will be refined a bit more in their facial profile, tail carraige, and leg-length to match them.
That wretched fish-eye lens on the screenshots is not helping these horse models one bit.
The black horses with feathers are interesting, I feel like they are based around an Andalusian and Friesian cross, I love fuzzy-footed horses.
I'm hoping as development goes on we get a variety of base-coat colors beyond Bay, black and white-grey to stack markings on top of. As well as the occasional pinto pattern because even Arabs have genes for Splash White and Rabicano, no matter how much they try to weed it out through the registry. Friesians also come in some fiery red shades of sorrel/chestnut when black isn't covering it up. Also hoping there are more mane and tail colors on the way.
Even if not I can always make my own pinto, I just lack the 3D modeling skills. I can draw till I'm blue in the face but the rest is up in the air till I learn.
PS: Also was laughing super hard at the horse breed comparisons with pictures from Horse Isle 1.
That was a throwback. Especially since they redid most of those breeds 8 years ago. XD
I forgot about the Khuzait horse. Stocky thing with a convex profile and a thick buckskin coat. Will there pangare/mealy versions of that one I wonder? Wonder if they'll animate their ears eventually...
