Since the daybreak of Destiny, Guardians all over the place have been asking for the power to vary their characters post-creation. That’s nonetheless a no-go, sorry for the false hope, however Bungie is making core modifications to the character customization for brand new Guardians.
“We know that how your Guardians look is vital to you,” opened engineering designer David Aldridge in a latest Bungie weblog put up. He continued, “And we have lengthy needed so as to add extra participant customization to Destiny.” Unfortunately, these modifications have but to occur and the present creation system is closely restricted. Luckily, it seems to be like that’s going to be altering sooner or later, although nonetheless no phrase on post-creation recreation, however current characters will probably be seeing small tweaks.
Aldridge defined, “Our unique system for participant faces had some combinatoric content material authoring issues – for instance, each decal needed to be authored utterly customized for every participant face permutation. This prevented us from extending this space of the game with extra content material and options. We’ve upgraded to a considerably extra succesful system (with e.g. runtime decal projection), which we hope to leverage for extra participant customization choices sooner or later.”
My homegirl ain’t cute.
It’s clearly wanted, my homegirl is highly effective however she ain’t cute
Luckily, Bungie is reviewing current participant fashions with the assistance of its Diversity Committee and Employee Resource Groups to vary current participant heads, which is why Guardians may even see their already created characters wanting a tad bit otherwise. In the long run for brand new Guardians, nonetheless, the studio is constructing model new face shapes in an effort to make the game’s character creation extra diversified.
The objective right here is to permit gamers to create a Guardian in-game that they will see themselves as. This is a reasonably frequent objective with many games which have character creation and whereas the graphics for creating characters in Destiny are beautiful, the alternatives are very restricted.
Between character customization tweaks and transmog coming quickly as nicely, our Guardians are going to be lookin’ dang fairly. Currently, my Warlock has to have a helmet on always as a result of the armor set makes her appear to be a punk rock drag queen and I like her, however there are stats that different units have that I might like to equip and transmog as a substitute.
Now we simply want Bungie to take a web page from Dragon Age’s Black Emporium so we are able to change our faces, hair, and extra for these of us (it me) that made some grave errors in judgement.
Anyway, Destiny 2: Beyond Light arrives on November 10.
