Randomized outfits

[Match]

I can't believe there's no option to get a random outfit at the start of each run. With the crazy amount of skins the player has access to. I remember you guys adding an option for randomized foods/healing items and I love it. Why not have an option for random costumes as well?

You could even take a step ahead and be able to pick which costumes to have in the rotation and which not in case players like only very specific ones or just dont like some of them. I think it would be super cool to get a random skin every time you play a new run without having to pick one manually.

Love your game and how much attention you pay to the player's suggestions!

Thankfully the developers fully agree with you and have already implemented everything you ask for. In Custom Mode you can enable and disable outfits, allowing you to manage your pool. And you can pick between two settings for randomization: One gives you a random outfit from your pool for the whole run and the other gives you a new outfit for every biome.

oh wow you're totally right, this is completely my bad for never looking up Custom Mode. I wonder why isn't this an option in Normal Mode as well.

Also quick question, I know Custom Mode normally doesn't disable achievements, but does it disable future BSCs acquisitions?

I believe it once was a global menu setting but they moved it to Custom Mode some while ago. In general I would treat Custom Mode as a straight upgrade to Normal Mode. Even if you're a purist you can just not restrict your item pool or touch any of the modifiers and Custom Mode will play identically to Normal Mode, just with added options for customization. So I don't see a great need for adding the option to Normal Mode since you're "meant" to switch to Custom Mode eventually (the developers actively encourage players to use Custom Mode in some of the patchnotes).

Nope, Custom Mode by itself does not have any drawbacks. Just some of the settings can lock you out of achievements (those settings have padlock symbols beside them and all the modifiers that prevent achievements also show up in red text on the Custom Mode main menu). The achievements for getting new BSC are potentially an edge case. I don't actually know what the curret state is. It used to be that you could permanently miss those achievements (you would get the BSC without achievement and then could never redo it on the same save file). I've also been hearing that as a fix they now award you the achievement regardless of whether you use CM settings that lock you out, but I am not positive. I suggest you unlock new BSC with settings that don't prevent achievements, just to be sure.

Thank you for the help, you're mega kind

I've been having a blast with Custom Mode, been practicing BSC 4 which I haven't played since 2019 (I think?) and some of the achievement-locking options are incredible for getting back to higher difficulties.
