Feedback: Character Creator

[pgf developer Offline]

Okay. Many of you have already received access to this demo.

Here we can discuss it.

I think the best thing about the Char Creator is you can make almost any body shape you like, skinny, fat, muscular and you can even choose how you ears will be.

The only thing i miss it was the option to change character size, taller or smaller.

About the hair and cloth, i’m eager to see the next options.

There are several settings that will allow you to do this. The length of neck and legs, for example.

There will be more. And other elements too.

My only complaint is that my system sucks. :P 

 

 

Are you excited to play Dogma: Eternal Night? Are you eager to play a vampire-themed M.M.O.R.P.G.? Yes? Then why have you not donated or per-ordered yet? There is no excuse not to financially support the project, especially if you are a regular member. I ought to see a badge under your avatar!

I see what is the error. This will be fixed in updates soon.

Thanks.

I just created my first character and i really appreciated this character creation part, i think it’s really realistic and well designed, sometimes it takes a few to load the preview of clothes choices during the creation but i guess it’s just my computer that is not so powerful, i have to change graphics settings i guess, anyway it’s really a good job, i can’t wait to try the real game !

[mortal Offline]

One thing that bugged me a bit… if you turn the character just a little bit, then he / she will turn their head to face the camera again.
That looks really nice and dynamic, but generally when i turn my character a little like that, i’m working on the face and want to see it from a slightly different angle, so them turning their head is a bit inconvenient.

Apart from that i absolutely love it! Having all those different seperate sliders really allows you to play around with what you want. Although for visual clarity it might be neat to have them seperated by headlines, so all the sliders that affect the breasts are under the headline “breasts”

The main thing I want so far are more hair styles (for the men in particular) and facial hair options, other than that it looks good so far; I love that I can make a fat dude as my character, a rarity for sure.

Other than that it’s mostly just graphical issues like clothes clipping, but I reckon that’ll be fixed in good time. The 15 min timer is also a bit annoying when building a character with such a detailed system, but again this is stuff that will be changed later so I’m not holding it against the game. So far so good; that’s my first impression.

[mortal Offline]

I also created my first character. I agree with Karavolos here: I am also missing the facial hair for men.

But so far, as a first impression I am really happy with it and I am really looking forward to this game. It’s great how you can change your character.

Also the 15 min timer is really a bit annoying. I tried so many things on the first character, I wasn’t able to save it. But since it will be changed later, I can live with that

War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage.

Yeah i am getting that too after making my second character, rather annoying

Creator is great, but at the same time feels oddle restrictive? I think it would benefit as to having the slider be able to go under zero, to allow more varied faces. Perhaps make the current zero the middle of the slider?

This is something I myself would like to see.

Loving the character creator, but I have to ask; is it intended to have natural hair colors only? I would love to be able to do dyed/layered hair colors. >.> I am oddly neurotic about character creators just as much as the games themselves. I could get lost for hours in a good creation system.

Just played with the character creator. Overall very nice. In a way,  perhaps too many options and subtleties that give very similar results. I think the inclusion of negatives on the scales will help create a wider variety of looks.  When I just played on it I found myself struggling to create a rough looking and slightly ugly character. the end was result was a pretty average  looking male.  Personally, I would like to see a few more extremes as options  please. If this is at the expense of some of the sliders which have little impact then so be it.

There will be more added.

A few things I would like is if you could left click to rotate instead of right click, and maybe use right click to pan the camera up and down the model, and maybe use the scroll wheel to zoom the model in & out, to allow you to see the model in more detail. And like others have said, the option to go into the negatives, or setting the current defaults as the “middle” of the slider, to allow for more variety of customization would be welcome unless this will be addressed by other additional “archetypes” but even then, more customization options for a character creator is never a bad idea.

1. use the scroll wheel to zoom the model in & out, to allow you to see the model in more detail
2. setting the current lowest  setting defaults as the “middle” of the slider, to allow for more variety of customization.

I’ll pass this on to @AiryKai, @Malkaveer.

Would love to see more hair types of males and facial hair. I’m also not sure if this is possible or if I missed this option if it’s already there but something that would control body fat % so I could make a guy that is ripped with abs. Other than that good job, it’s already a better character creation than some big games out there!

Who are able to access game now and where do I get it, if I ever find myself among those blessed?

As of this moment, only those with alpha access to the game are able to play the demo, which is just the character creator. In other words, you need to pre-order the baron or the viscount pack. However I see that you already have the kindred badge, so maybe you can upgrade it by just paying the remaining difference, but you’ll have to ask @AiryKai about that.

Thank you. Somehow I missed this info about Baron badge in late news updates.

I really like the character editor, i just think you should introduce more customization like :

– choosing your age

– be smaller, medium or bigger tall

– beard customization

– tattoos

– etc, etc …

More features will be added soon. We’re testing the functionality right now as mentioned before.
