Have had this idea for a while no one seems to adopt it. So vanity items in games are usually a set of clothes/accessories that go over your normal armor as costume or cosmetic (Have no effect toward character growth or character abilities) essentially clothing that makes your character your own. My idea would be to have in game items such as gloves hat ect. That are blank slates and that give the player the option to fill it up with colors or even expand on the object. Example. This process would revolve around a grid system to place colors. The creation window would set a large box over the character's items such as arms legs mid section ect. filled with small grids and a option to make the scheme of grid smaller so more detail could be made. A grid like this could be made so your creation wouldn't be confined to just the base of the character. Make the grid go more panes larger than the initial naked character in all directions and it will leave room for more elaborate designs. When creating your new vanity items the screen could pause followed by a hud witch has options to change the blank costume piece you bought/made the others that you haven't in your inventory would be blank or in-selectable ounce chosen a grid will appear around the part/parts of the body the item would be made and shows your character with no clothing so you could create off of the base. Just an idea leave a comment.
I would love this in-game! Although, I don't like the idea to make the grid smaller. That way, the characters would be not-really-starbound...ish. And the only thing, that should be in this creation box, is a shadow, you know, the one, that all the weapons have (the darker area) and stuff like that. This is a really good idea, although, the dev's said, character customization will be 8 out of 10 points... So let's just hope.
Yeah it would be nice to have more people on this or at best to have something like this in the works. As for the shadows i don't know how that would work if you wanted a bigger item than the shadow's scale provided. Unless your not confined to the shadow than i would understand. So yeah hope some dev's pick this up even if they don't use it in this game no reason it cant be used for others.
Yes, indeed. Although, I think this would be a problem in multiplayer only, so the administrators or moderators or any staff members could have a list of all players with their equipment. Or something like that, so the staff members could see all the players' armor.
i suppose that could work. just have a little window like Some one is trying to connect! [picture of player] is this okay? [yes] [no] in theory it could work really well. =)
Yeah that's true didn't perceive that. But at the same point people in any game will make inappropriate things either with they're art or they're mouth's. and the only place it could offend people is in multiplayer in witch case i think it comes down to the people it offends to report foul player based content. And at that point this game could use a very open admin contact system through witch you could report players. Just a possible idea around the inappropriate conduct.
