Femme options in Character Customization
I would really appreciate character options that are femme or more femme. Right now none of the faces and torso options really feel to me like I can make a femme character.
It would also be nice if we could have a leg options with the skirts.

Half the body options are female, but they are so subtle that I can see people not noticing them, unless you look at the side profile. After seeing the difference, I started noticing them better.

To be fair, when wearing lab coats/jackets, it does flatten things out.

This is probably why most games exaggerate body types, since trying to make it realistic, especially with a low res/poly game, just makes almost everyone look the same.

I am amused by the character creation choices, but I do agree. My dark-skinned female scientist looks like Danny Glover in a wig. Hilarious, but definitely not female. I think there needs to be more female faces for the other skin types. All of the female scientists I've found in game have been light-skinned, and they definitely look female. But their faces also look the same.

I do understand why some people think this important but I cannot imagine that better character creation options, with generous range of body shapes and facial features that we can easily identify as masculine, feminine, or androgynous, are particularly high up on the devs' To-Do list this early on their roadmap.

Maehara I'm not asking for lots of options. Just something more as right now none of the options really feel like they are femme at all. Its also not a big ask, their art style could very easily do fun silly femme scientists. The current options just need tweaking

More customization options are on the roadmap, though I'm not sure if the devs plan on changing the female body shape. More faces would be nice, though.

It wouldn't be bad idea for them to touch up the female body shapes a bit. As much as I like the devs keeping it realistic (and also not doing the cliche of overly sexualized characters), there is something that's lost when going with low polygon characters.

I guess it is sort of like pixel art. You think it is easy to do, since there are only so many pixels, but it actually isn't; at least not for good pixel art.
