Summary0009109: Visual Character Customization
DescriptionI know we're not supposed to "get attached to characters" but I was successfully playing a single character for up to 10 hours plus, and would have liked a little variety for their indivudality. I'd also like to differentiate the controllable hero from their clones running around the settlement. Slight variations in coloring could achieve both these needs in a minimalist fashion.

Skin and equipment color sliders may help break up a little of the monotony. If customizable "accessories" of some type were added to the visual model, all the better. Another "easy" suggestion for this might be a luminosity adjustment on the character to represent an aura of some sort, whether it be proficiency in one of the game's skills or other, a visual representation of what they're good at. A luminosity slider of how visible they are to enemies might fall into line with this suggestion. Hovering orbs that demonstrate what magics were selected might benefit this as well?

The temperature suits are a nice well-done example of this. I enjoyed the new look to my familiar character. The glyph changing colors is nice as well.

Unfortunately, with the way the art is currently done in this game, color shifts and such aren't possible. Perhaps once the new art is completed, this can be considered.

That's cool. My suggestion for "Extras" like halos and orbs and such could still be considered if y'all cared for it.

The problem with that kind of stuff, as I understand it, is that it's actually a LOT of work on the GPU to pull that off well, and we really try to keep our games as light on the GPU as possible.
