Different Figures for Player Character

[calantia]

Forgive me if someone has already brought this up.
I am loving the game so far, and I appreciate the dev's dedication to getting out updates even during these trying times. I think the art has taken leaps and bounds from Portia, but something I would like to see is the ability for the player to have different body types. It would be nice if you could choose to be buff, skinny, curvy, or even chubby instead of just one set figure. It just would add a nice touch to the customization, and is something that is starting to become standard in most games.

Appreciate the feedback! I'm not sure if the body type is something that we'll do in the later updates, but having more customization options during character creation is definitely something we'll look into!

I'm just picturing a Builder who looks like Burgess huffing and puffing all over the Eufaula... :D

It ought to be based on what food you eat and how much exercise you get. (J/K)

I think you should also not gender choices. In "Grow: Song of the Evertree," you can appear female, but have facial hair. It's more inclusive and gives players the control over how they look rather than being stuck in the binary.

Especially since the binary gender choice is 100% about aesthetics and 0% related to actual game mechanics (romance options aren't gender locked, player character is referred to with they/them pronouns if pronouns end up being relevant at all regardless of gender, you can pick any voice for any character regardless of gender, etc), it would be nice to see it taken all the way and have everything accessible to every player character regardless of gender (would be cool to have a male Builder able to wear one of those cute Sandrunning skirts, for example, you know? Or conversely, if I have a female Builder who is not interested in wearing skirts but IS interested in more casual outfits, the options there also become more limited because of certain small details being gender locked)

There is also medical disorders that causes females to grow beards... I should know.. I have it. D; Beard hairs are my bane...


Anyways... Yeah it might be hard for the team to adjust the playing characters as it is due to already being made, they would have to change all their animations, clothing, how they affect the world and everything, it would take a very long time to adjust.

Players would have to make a choice, new content, or new ways your character might appear fat, short, skinny, tall, or well built....

Honestly I would rather have new content because I want to be able to stare at Logan more hehehehe.

Always one of these people around...

[aclaraharrison]

It would be great to have more body customization honestly because the female body type that we have currently is too skinny. Her legs look like mosquito legs lol.

[DarknessShallFall]

xD I mean.. You're not wrong... Maybe in the way future they can add small customizations here or there, or maybe in a future game if they do another "My Time At" game.

[Paratech2008]

Off topic but I hope they do another My time at game.

I've already put in over 50 hours into the game...

I put almost 200 into Portia.

[calantia]

I definitely feel like new content should come before changing figures. I just thought I would mention it, because if you have sliders for weight like in a lot of these games (Coral Island, Grow, etc.) it would be a nice feature.
The mechanics are great, I love the story, and the overall flow of the game is wonderful. I am looking forward to multiplayer, more content, and anything else the Devs are up to. :)

[DarknessShallFall]

Yeah I think so too, but it'll most likely only be of the Free Alliances, so Highwind, Tallksky, Vega 5, Atara, Lucien, Walnut Grove, Doss, and who knows, maybe we could help find a new town in a game. xD

Personally, I think it would be neat to be a builder in an expedition into the Peripheries.

[Ihateeverybody]

I think most of the Established places (while I would love to see them) likely would be boring. Lucian would likely be a good choice. It borders Duevos and Musa seems to think its the next place to expand (Wants settlers there).

Really though, they can place it anywhere and I would definitely be interested.

Why does the DLC clothing show different body types
