Goutha is the "First Daughter" of the Arcsprite because she was the Arcsprite's first creation. However, there is no direct biological process or relation involved.

The other areas of the game leading up to that point all have real world analogues, ones that she is able to think about and riff on. Things like a Water Treatment Plant or a Public School are commonly grasped concepts, and because of that she has a lot of thoughts on them and their relation to society. Even Hard Structures, for how bizarre it is, hearkens to the idea of endless construction, and how people are ultimately displaced in the pursuit of more and more of said development.

However, the DNA Facility is where things first become completely otherworldly. It is not a place that exists in any way that we know of. She is caught off guard and deeply disturbed by the concepts being shown to her, and her confidence in her understanding of the world is wavered. The conspiracy theory spirals out of control, and the conspiracy moves to suit it. The very flesh we reside in becomes oppressive.

It's just a stylistic choice. Alex does have a nose, so it's not like he looks weird to the other characters (well, maybe he does, but for other reasons) , we just don't see the nose. DashBored is a hodgepodge of all sorts of characters I made from when I was a little kid through when I was a teen, so there's an odd mixture of styles and design philosophies going into it, which don't always totally line up, but I sort of prefer it that way.

Also, in another post you said that a lot of the sounds in Psychopomp were made with your mouth, so what microphone did you use?

I use FL Studio for my music. In the development of Psychopomp, I used Omnisphere extensively, as well as a mix of real instruments such as various flutes and drums.

I think it might feel good, he might like it. He might ask for more. As it stands, this was maybe five or so years ago, so I don't quite remember the tracks I didn't end up using for DreamWild off the top of my head, but I did go through my music files and found this short test track. This may have been an alternate victory screen, or potentially an earlier version of "Cracked Clay", based on the similar instrumentation and sound.
