This post has more likes than the OP... Rather odd TBH (also wasn't there a rule saying don't post things like that?)
How about instead of making characters be able to get bulky or different body, how about add them as vanity armor?
You could make the sprites only look bulkier when not wearing armour? You could just say the armour is really tight.
I suggest you to optimize the game little better, if you have the zoom the FPS are usually 60+o-, inside the little city at gate the FPs down to 19 if youre moving. With the X2 Zoom you get even worst frames like 20 or 30 at planets and 7-5 inside the gate city. And i tested this with different high end graphic cards (AMD and nVidia). Befor add more NPCs and make them look better please fix that, cause is a big optimization problem that can make the game unplayable in some locations and it's really frustrating. Have nice day and i wait your feedback.
Cant wait to see this in game and see all the other things your going to add. I do hope soon to find what is it coconuts on a desert planet so i can complete this mission but atm i think its uncompilable. Keep these updates coming loving it.
I've been excited for the Avian since you guys first showed off the concept art--it's amazing how the spirit of those concepts shines through in so few pixels. It looks fantastic! Is there any word on where these NPCs will be popping up? Some sort of location that's static across universes, like the outpost? Sorry if it's been said recently, went through the last page of dev posts and didn't see it mentioned.
Love that we're starting to see some difference in body build types! Makes these NPCS feel different and interesting from the standard stock of appearances.
Yup, they have made 3 new heads and 1 new body. So, in addition to the original dragon head and body, there are these: Well, pretty much every new object the past couple months has Novakid dialogue. You can see that on all of the Ark objects for example.
But how is the progress of applying dialogue to old items? Visual aesthetics can only go so far and the default text is grating and leaves a rather empty feeling. Compared to the florans humorous and the glitches cynical dialogue the novakid's blank slate thing really makes them have nothing special... Granted maybe i'm one of the few who enjoy character immersion.
Hmmm. Wondering if we'll ever see a big beefy-type Hylotl like the one in the early promotional artwork. That'd be a really cool feature, choosing your character's build like you chose their pose. And maybe it could replace the racial bonuses that got cut. I'd trade a bit of movement speed for melee damage if it meant I could play as a Mr. Universe-sized salamandude.
It's already been made quite clear why that won't happen. They don't call these "unique NPCs" for nothing.
