Character Customization in Full Release?

[Brotjer]

Since it seems the dev's chiming in on some of the discussions, I was wondering if we can expect a customizable MC in the full game, like in Stardew and Story of Seasons, or if there's a set main character for the story?

There are no plans for it at the moment, however it is still early in development so anything is possible!

The main issue is the amount of sprite sheets and frames used for the main character, which will require several thousand sprites to be drawn to add just a few options to the game.

Does this mean the current customization options in the demo reflect the available options for full release or has there been a change since January? Just wondering.

I found the customization options lacking and assumed there would be a fully customizable character model on final release.

There will likely be a few more options. I'd like to add another hair style or two, and maybe another shirt type.

At the time this post was made, even adding customization at all seemed very unlikely. Since then, one has been added. It took about a month or two of work and 5000+ sprites to make the current set of options, so adding more to it will be a decision between that or other planned content for the game. It is too early to say at this point what the final set of options may look like.

Ah, okay. Thank you very much for the reply. I appreciate it!
