The game looks incredible, I really like it. But I have a question
Will there be a character editor? I realize it's a 1-person game, but it would be cool to be able to change appearance.

One of those, is the idea of the player being in this blank state without the option of a character editor. The focus instead is very much on your journey through the game, and the decisions you make. We'll be sharing more on lore, game mechanics and beyond in the coming months so please do stay tuned!

I came here with the same question. Hopefully, the dev responds soon.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

What type of survival elements are in the game. Is it actually a survival game?? If so you lost me

i would like to have character creation and third person, to give it that fallout feeling more, clealry this is a fallout clone, nuclear wasteland, but set in london? Come on.. fallout written all over it.... Add third person and character creation and i'd buy it. Even in fallout with character creation, ur character is a blank slate that u can make whatever u want it to be. So this statement that u want it to be a blank slate by not having character creation or third person is a bit BS IMO.

Are we playing a man or a woman? Or are you deliberately making all we see and hear from the character ambiguous so that we can decide for ourselves?

i think this game is sort of inspired by Fallout 4: London but i'm not 100% sure on that.

Even if we don’t see our characters, they usually have a voice, I would love it if it were possible to have a female voice. I have a very hard time getting immersed in first person games when I sound like a dude.

And don't forget the "ugh" and "ah" sounds when taking a hit or jumping. Hands and your own shadow are also important. I like how they did it in Prey (2017).

It could be simplified by using a rather androgynous model and voice (if any voice at all). Loose-fitting clothes and gloves can help with that.

+1 to the above

if it is irrelevant to the story, I'd like it to not revert to the "default guy". Ladys are playing games too and in an immersive game like this, where you make your own story so to say, it's nice for the immersion to have the voice & addressing of that matching too

or that:
make it as androgenous and not-comitting as possible too!

Darn. I get dizzy with first person games.

Off topic, but this is not set in London. This is set in the North of England, as stated, in a rural setting. Not London.

Sorry, living in Britain (and not London) I feel the need to point this out. Otherwise I completely agree with you!

So is there a character creator at all??? I'd like the option to chose how i look rather than be stuck in first person... I don't think the devs understand how important this topic is...
