http://stardewvalley.net/mini-dev-update-1/ ConcernedApe says he's drawing 100+ types of shirts. Which seems like an insane amount of customization, to be honest. My hope is that there aren't 'male/female' sprites (breasts, etc) so he can just design clothing without locking either gender out of some clothing options. Gender could be indicated by hair style and face, rather than whether or not they have a distinctly male/female body to spend extra time on designing animations and armors for.
Terraria did something similar. Also, the new sprites look really great, CA. Wow! I'm really looking forward to this peace
He said that he was going to be drawing hundreds of shirts.... CAN WE HELP??? If he could give us some sprites (like front, back, sides, etc), then perhaps we could help out. but.... but....
I think there should still be a distinct look from male/female sprites, for obvious reasons. I'm not saying make the female sprites a pair of breasts on a stick, that'd be ludicrous, but rather at least have the distinction. I mean, if I'm talking to an NPC or see one walking around, I don't want to judge by hair-length to determine if it's a chick or not before interacting with it. If he does end up letting us help with sprite designs, then there'd be even less issue with making a male/female system. Also, it'd be cool if there was a barber/tailor in case you wanted to change your look at a later point, but that's just a suggestion.
The previous ones kind of seemed out of place in my opinion, maybe it was the body/head size difference... so the upgrade is really cool
I personally find that I dont like the new models. I liked the charm of the older ones. I dunno why, maybe the pseudo mod-FF style sprites are what puts me off :/
It's odd that you would call the newer sprites FF-style sprites, considering that FF1-6 had sprites that looked like the Old version. Plus, the newer ones will allow for more customization and showing what your character has equipped, so I'm all for it.
Wow, I like the new sprite much better than the old one, but I wouldn't drive yourself crazy creating so many shirts Ape!
Thanks! Also, it's really not that hard to make more shirts... it literally takes less than 30 seconds per shirt, as long as I have an idea for what it should look like. It's fun to have a lot of options
im hoping hats and dresses are on your list too if you can could you add sunglasses, so i could be "that person" who walks around with sunglasses on inside and at night
I hope tank tops or even strapless tops will be an option (especially for the female characters), they are what I usually look for when dressing a female character in games. Swimwear would be cool, though. Maybe a summer-related achievement could unlock them. This is assuming they even have the ability to have a different look between male and female, since it'd be impossible to have one piece of swimwear that both genders wear without it being weird, or without it defeating the purpose of swimwear. Of course, they could just have 2 tops and 2 bottoms for this: a tank-style swim top and swim trunks that males would generally select, and a bikini top and bikini bottoms that females would select. The neat thing with this is, females could select the tank tops and bikini bottoms to simulate a one piece. Males wouldn't get to shirtless though. Not sure how they'd handle that.
