Character creation

[Nuvibe]

Please introduce character creation. Games of this genre need it to create a bond with your character

What?I never felt closer to this guy I play as... I mean, I don't now him or a thing about him. other than he being a Prepper who lived undergound for years.

You are right, changing the hair stile would really help with this.

But in all honestly, I dont think we need character creation. It would not make any change at all. IF you want to tell a story, it usualy is easyer if you have fixed characters.

Most games that let you make a character are
1. You are not even part of it and just go allong with the NPCs, like many MMOs or 2. your character is 99% meaningless anyway, as in there are like
2 choices that CAN be different, other than that the game just threats you like a generic place holder anyway.

Character creation is only needed for games where you interact with other people or rolleplay as yourself/an alter ego...
or, if it comes with limitations, as in just some things to chose from. It can change your stats/Perks...

I 1000% disagree. The design is perfect for the story that is told and in no way was built with a bunch of useless stats that you are referring too is needed.

It is a twofold problem. Firstly, we don't (and didn't) have a "character creation mode" ready to deploy, so the decision was made to center the game around one character. After this decision was made, some story elements were centered around this specific character, making the addition of a possible character creation mode later impossible as that would have required additional and/or duplicate graphical/text/audio assets to accommodate the addition a chargen. In short, unfortunately not going to happen in this project.

Thank you for your honest answer. I’ll still buy the game

I would suggest some hats, helmets or face masks. If character is missing a face - there's no reason to question how he/she looks. I run around in motocycle helmet with a big wrench since I like the look:)

Gotta second this! It does not need to be anything major, but even tiny creator in (hopefully future) Dysmantle 2 would be fantastic, especially in local co-op. Sure, you won't see your character that much, but even if you could change your color scheme, it'd help tremendously as now quite often we have to make small weird movement to differentiate who is who, especially when in areas (cold/hot) where you probably have to have the same clothes!

We'll have to see about future projects, but it is a definite possibility for those.
