| Summary | 0009109: Visual Character Customization | ||||
| Description | I know we're not supposed to "get attached to characters" but I was successfully playing a single character for up to 10 hours plus, and would have liked a little variety for their indivudality. I'd also like to differentiate the controllable hero from their clones running around the settlement. Slight variations in coloring could achieve both these needs in a minimalist fashion. Skin and equipment color sliders may help break up a little of the monotony. If customizable "accessories" of some type were added to the visual model, all the better. Another "easy" suggestion for this might be a luminosity adjustment on the character to represent an aura of some sort, whether it be proficiency in one of the game's skills or other, a visual representation of what they're good at. A luminosity slider of how visible they are to enemies might fall into line with this suggestion. Hovering orbs that demonstrate what magics were selected might benefit this as well? | ||||

The temperature suits are a nice well-done example of this. I enjoyed the new look to my familiar character. The glyph changing colors is nice as well. |

Unfortunately, with the way the art is currently done in this game, color shifts and such aren't possible. Perhaps once the new art is completed, this can be considered. |

That's cool. My suggestion for "Extras" like halos and orbs and such could still be considered if y'all cared for it. |

The problem with that kind of stuff, as I understand it, is that it's actually a LOT of work on the GPU to pull that off well, and we really try to keep our games as light on the GPU as possible. |
