Skeleton asset removal question

[Ian_Wolff]

Greetings devs, first off, love the game and have for a while. But this humble player and enjoyer of your game has a question..

Before the update where the cars where added there was a set of assets in the game that were various skeletons (admittedly some not of best design and some looking a tad bit too realistic compared to the player characters). Why where those removed if i may ask? Since for various design options both on and offship they were rather nice to use :)

This being my favorite for example: https://imgur.com/wKIQRL5

Hi,

yes, skeletons were indeed removed at some point :). It was based on feedback that showed that in some countries having those is actually problematic and because we are trying to create a family-friendly game that can be played by anyone we decided to remove those. That being said - it was a rather specific isolated thing and at this moment we are not planning to remove any other assets.

@Alessaint, could it not be an option you could possibly toggle on and off?

Unfortunately, it's not a simple as turning those off for some players. What could easily happen is that one player would create a game to share with others where the presence of these objects would be critical for gameplay (they could be a reward, some action might be triggered once you pick them up, etc.) - but some of the players wouldn't be able to find them in their game instance.

One of the possible solutions is to replace those objects with something different for some of the players (other games do that - most notably WoW) which is better, but still not ideal solution.

That being said - we think of the objects removal as a temporary solution present only until we're ready to provide a better one :).
