Thanks for your suggestions and feedback. I've been the artist since the start of the project and I've recently changed my user name to be a bit more casual
. I've not actively been on the forums often, apart from reading about all of your adventures and suggestions, but I've played with you guys in game New Hair Styles
I can't make large changes to hairstyles as they already exist and people have them. We also can't have more hairstyles than what the male character has. So new hairstyles can't be added until the male hairstyles equal in number, which is also why some of the old hairstyles shown, players can't have at the moment, but are on npcs. I'm currently only updating small changes on characters between large chunks of work. I won't be making entirely new hairstyles, just some alternate versions of currents and a small redo. I would also love to have the curly hair option for my character and intend on having that as an option in the future. In regards to the missing accessories, I will add the bows back in. Since the hairstyle with the flower wasn't added to the players hairstyles, I can keep it without the accessories and add this sort of thing as fashion items that could be added to all of the hairstyles. This is an idea I am toying with at the moment. We may hold back on this sort of thing until you can preview what you buy.
Character Faces
I am aware that the character faces arn't very good looking and the shape of the head is incorrect. Changing the character models right now is a huge job, as changing the models would mean changing every other model that is supposed to fit to them and would require a lot of testing. The characters were initially created very low polygon as to support the oldest devices and speed up performance. I am now aware after release that we can afford to add additional geometry. A character upgrade is planned in the future and will have a large amount of time dedicated to it. As I said previously, I am only making small upgrades between large chunks of work, which is to add new content to the game. Face texture options will also be changed at the same time as the rest of the character upgrade. In any spare time I get I have plans to update the starting clothing, hairstyles and face textures as a mini upgrade (separate to the major update planned in the future).
Male Hair Options
I will do some changes to the male hairstyles as well. Again, I won't be making entirely new hairstyles as I'm working on these between other important tasks and can't dedicate a large amount of time to them.
Barber Shop
We will be working on making a type of barber shop at some point in the future to allow you to change your style, but not immediately.
Hat Hair
Believe me, wearing a hood/hat with no hair frustrated me also. I always had to just hide my helmet
. Hoods/hats/cowls with hair wasn't previously possible for us to have, but we can now and I'll be adding a new mesh to help with that.Thanks for your input everyone and thanks for your sketches Xell
