Any plans for deeper character animations in general ?

[Ren Fujin]

Hello.

First I'd like to say I really enjoy the game, it's fun, it has nice graphics and has the potential to be really immersive.
However, I can't help but feel it's maybe a bit lacking regarding character animations in general ?

Since I've only started playing recently, I wasn't able to keep up with everything the devs might have said on the subject, so I was wondering if anything was planned regarding character animation ?

Having basic animations when eating, drinking from waterskin/water source, turn around animations, idle animations etc ? I understand it would be a bit far stretched to hope for FFXIV tier emote library, especially for a game that's obviously not operating on the same kind of budget, and I'm definitely not asking for anything of that scale.

I'm not even asking for anything ... just humble suggesting, and possibly start a bit of a discussion about it.

The few animations we have in the emote menu is a good start but I think there should be room for a bit more (maybe slightly more polished) ?

I'm not even into RP and although I do think it would benefit that sort of play, overall I believe having a bit more interaction based animations in general would help player immersion in general. Maybe have the character blink at least ? Right now they feel a bit lifeless ...

It's Early Access so generally that type of polish comes late, or last. Much like plot and story. I would expect animation improvement, since we just received some this update, but don't think that type of full polish will arrive 'soon'.

That said, you can DEFINITELY expect improved animations before launch.

Have the devs ever said anything about having plans for that sort of thing even ? Or are we just speculating ?

I understand I might be part of the minority, though ... there's probably a lot of stuff that takes priority over animations.
But I really think just a bit more polish in that area could do wonders in this type of game, especially for the stuff you do often, like turning around, eating/drinking etc.

I don't know, lack of character animation tends to take me out of the experience a little, but it might be just me.

I know, right ?

Fingers crossed they at least consider it down the line.

They just released new and improved animations literally yesterday and have said many times more are coming.

Hi Do you try to implement eating and drinking animations too?Would be awesome.Lg

Hi. Maybe my mods can get you back playing Conan Exiles. The devs actually intended to add animations for drinking, eating, pissing and all, but for some reasons, they never included these features.


I have made a couple of mods to include all these aspects among other things to have a more lively experience for players, thralls and pets.

Automatic contextual animations and discussions for thralls and players (eating, drinking, vomiting, drunk movments, washing, gardening, crafting, etc.)

Multilingual voice over for players and thralls (English, French & German so far)

Simple routine system to assigns way points and emotes to thralls

Wheels of pain variants (cross of pain, quarry of pain, workout of pain, cage of pain) with speaking and animated taskmasters
etc.
You can have a look on my steam page or just look at my YouTube Channel
