As much as I like hats - I do have one on in my avatar, after all - I probably *won't* include them just because they're always really awkward to add to a model that can have all kinds of different hairstyles... It usually requires redrawing every hairdo to have a 'with a hat on' version, which is a pain, especially when it wouldn't even work with every style of hat. Males will also have antlers, which will very much get in the way!

I will keep them NAKED like this for the actual game, since, well, they have fur, and it's not the same as a naked human, at least to me. I think of it as nudity in the same way that this is! [link] (whose name also includes 'Acorn', come to think of it; I did not have that character in mind when designing this character or these cervids though!)
And I think underwear would look weird... I might make characters comment about you walking around nude, though!
You'll START the game nude, actually, and will have to get dressed (there'll be three different sets of shirts and pants in Acorn Nose's room to choose from, letting you customise right from the start rather than her having a default outfit), but she might refuse to go outside unless you put something on first.

I did make this model thinner than the one in that image. That thing has a line going down its side, as a part of the top, and I cut the torso off there. I know it's doing what I said I didn't want to and portraying an unrealistic level of slimness, but at least it's not nearly as bad as Pokemon humans!

Oh, yeah, I didn't really take those factors into account, which was rather silly of me, oops. o.o
Are all NPCs going to be solely other students? [Well, and school faculty I suppose, teachers, and maybe INSANE JANITORS, and DEMENTED LUNCH LADIES, yes.]

The naked sprite actually reminded me of a party member from a Paper Mario game, who was essentially some naked sprite with HUGE BREASTS, but it was okay since she wasn't very human nor did she have nipples. o.o [link]
It's rather funny how you can get away with that sort of thing in even E for Everyone games, but adding some dot would probably make it HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE, totally logical. :P
Anyway, it's interesting that you'd start the game with a choice of outfits, hmm, interesting! I do wonder whether you'd make clothing articles as silly as you did with CRPG, but I can see that being a pain to animate and impractical in general.

It'd be hard to top Pokémon humans. Maybe if you had no torso at all. :P
