No female character to play?

[البنُّور]

I could see some eyes and one hair style. The body however is just for male.

Thank you so much for taking this into consideration! I'm looking forward to the roadmap.

I also like the idea of seasons, but I know it may not fit in well with the feel of the game (Summer vacation spent with grandparents). If you can find a way to make it work, and enough of the community wants it, I'm excited for the prospects!

Adding seasons is something that we are considering to do in the future. This will depend on what players want to add in the first place. We want to develop the game together with the community.

This is good news. Thank you.

This is a solid response. Good on you.

We have one universal body type in the game (no male or female) and many eyes, hairstyles and few heads. We may add more body types later if there will be demand for that :)

i would love to be able to look more female, maybe pink bow in hair or something to look more girlish

i like the girly girl image. as a child i always wore dresses even if i was playing in the mud. i still feel the same as an adult. i cant wait to play i have a few hours before launch and am now looking forward to the future and to see where this game goes. But i wouldn't consider not playing just based on the characters looks and clothes.

So devs, reading between the lines here, this game is actually NOT a finished game, but you're actually releasing it as if it IS a finished game?? Is that correct?? So this game SHOULD be released in early access then, not full release. Full release should be for FINISHED games, not half finished games. So this is a bit of a falsehood then. Either it's a finished full release game, or it's early access still being worked on. Which is it? Is this so that by not releasing it as early access, that means you can elicit pre-orders then?

That's pretty sneaky, don't you think? This was a buy for me as an early access release with a roadmap, but it's not a buy as a "FINISHED GAME" with a road map. Now it's a hard pass. I hope other people realise what you're doing here. Not cool...

The game is finished. It has a storyline with start and end, and a lot of content to play in sandbox. However, we would like to make it even bigger, and we will add this content as a DLCs. Now we have a plan for two big DLCs and some smaller ones with new clothes, and animals like Christmas DLC, Halloween etc. We would like to have a game that grow bigger and bigger together with player base :) We could just say “no there will not be any more clothing choices - no skirts for you ;)". But we hope that we will be able to add more content that player wants to have as long as possible. Sure, it depends on how the game will be received, but that's our plans for now.

Of course, you don't need to download those DLCs. If you want to play without it, you still will have a lot of fun :)

"No skirts for you" I see what you did there. ;) Insert George Kastanza.

So for Halloween and Christmas, instead of just doing a seasonal event that other developers do, are you going to make it a DLC?

That kind of ruins the magic of seasonal events, if that is what you are planning to do. It should just be an event that starts when the holiday is around and ends when the holiday is over or whenever. 

Also for these dlcs will some be free or only paid dlcs or all free dlcs? 

Please don't make seasonal dlcs unless it for the character it self or for the animals but don't get rid of a seasonal event that adds festive stuff to the game for a short while.

I am not opposed to DLC as long as bug fixes/controller support are a higher priority.

I just had this issue with a different game and ended up getting a refund.

Like in Quest 2, there are female avatars; all you have to do is choose their features.

Like in Quest 2, there is no specific gender assigned to Oculus avatars. There are some body types that look more feminine or masculine, and there are some facial features and details that can be considered traditional gender indicators, like eyes with heavier lashes, redder lips, and facial hair.

You do not need a female or male character, but even then people would complain, saying there were not enough hair styles or colors, or why can't I customize my character, etc. 

But the developers added a universal body type, so it is fine. Just choose the features that look feminine or masculine to you, and there you go—now you're a girl.

Yes, I played the demo and saw the character creation; it is fine. Can developers add more hair styles, etc.? Yes, will they? Who knows?

But there is more than one hair style. I see two.

There will always be a demand for it, as there are female and male gamers in the world. Just add more options to choose from, and the problem will be solved. There are not many male hair styles either, like short, etc.

Body type is fine. You're a kid, your private parts haven't grown in yet, and it's a child game, guys and girls, not an adult game; it's a family-friendly game, and you do not need private parts to show.

Think about your children; they don't want to hear you talking bad stuff in game.

If they did add private parts for a female body, they would have to make sure it is covered, not showing anything, and any clothes you get cover the private area so there is no nudity. 

After all, it is a family-friendly game; nudity shouldn't be in it.

Yay! Please more customization...we love to love our characters

I agree, and what is up with those goofy ears? Please make some ears that don't stick out so much.

Seasons would ruin it. Quote from store. Your long summer days in the valley aren’t just about looking after the farm. There’s so much more to do! Spend the nights camping, doesn't sound like seasons would fit

They could just edit that.

Improving the game based on customer demand isn't a bad thing.
