Female kittens/cats as viable Player Character models, please?
This is the second time you've made this thread, FYI.
You're playing the wrong game for what you want to do. Sorry.

I don't trust Amerikatt. Being a masked vigilante is one thing but a masked vigilante who is also a CAT? She can't be trusted. She's a menace! A menace!
I understand that there are some animation issues which might make this a difficult request to fulfill, but I am hoping that we are closer to the day when I can actually have a feline model flying across my computer monitor, her little kitty paws outstretched in front of her, her mini-cape flapping in the breeze.

By the time that the devs get around to it I am afraid your double fudge brownies will have the additional ingredient of Penicillin.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
Even if we can't as players have a 4 legged animal model for bodies. I would love to be able as a hero to be traveling in the city and here somebody yelling by a tree, Come down here Whiskers... Help my cat is stuck in a tree. Then as a hero help get the cat out of the tree. That would be awesome.

As Aett explained to the OP at least once before . . .
Okay, going to go through this again.
This would require that a new skeleton would be made, specifically for your size cat that you want. One that has four legs, and would somehow be able to hold things like swords and axes somewhere in those legs. Now, let's say that each AT has 5 powersets (since ATs duplicate powersets, specifically over primaries/secondaries, but this is still a pretty lowball number). That is 25 powersets per side, or 50 powersets. Include the EATs, and it's 58 powersets. Now, let's say that there are 8 powers per set that would need animating for the new skeleton. This is to include things like Build Up, which wouldn't need much to go from one set to another, but probably does not include the EATs' extended sets. So, that is 464 powers. Now, we also need to include power pools. 4 powers per pool, for 10 pools, or 40 more powers, for a total of 504 powers. Now, assuming that you don't care if the cat skeleton is made boy or girl, then we still need 2 animations done per power (one for on the ground, one for in the air). So, we're up to 1,008 animations that need to be re-done, PER skeleton that is put in the game. Let's compare that to a typical new set. 9 powers, 3 skeletons, 2 animations per. 54 animations per powerset. At that rate, you could create 18.7 new powersets in the same time that you create one new skeleton. That doesn't seem worth it to me. |
And I'll again vote for a Beastial stance so our current characters have the option of looking more animal-like
That having been said the game could definitely benefit from bestial stances, but animal skeletons? No.

I'm always intrigued by these types of threads for one reason... seeing all the bigots come out of the woodwork who never post on a regular basis just so they can spew venom at people for simply suggesting something they like.
Insulting people for their personal interests is not a valid discussion point (Aka talking down to people by calling them furries) and only makes you look like an *******. Please stop it.
Examples of some valid points here are the vast amounts of work that would need to go into it and whether it would be worth it to implement something to this effect at all in the long run. Telling people they're playing the wrong game and calling them furry lovers is not.
I like small butts and I cannot lie, but I don't tell people they shouldn't like big butts. To each their own and leave it at that.

The same goes for most of the asked for character models, like this one, and Huge Female.
So, likely never going to be brought in, with as much work it would cause now, and later, with new costume pieces, powersets, and power customization.
Now I won't "/umsign" it because people want it, but I can't really "/sign" it since I don't see it as ever happening.

Cats? Next they'll want Ducks.
My main is a mutant critter, but I've accepted the humanoid skeleton as the flat out limit as to what we will get. The idea of a four-legged animal (not mutated to a humanlike frame) using some of the powersets available to us now is just plain silly.
Yes, I'm BBQ_Pork, mutant pig and Awesome Possum, mutant possum, but even *I* cannot support this suggestion as I just don't see it happening.
Though it'd be cool to have additional body types available, the reality of the situation is that it'd take many, many months of Art time to go back and create Huge Female versions of the thousands of parts that exist in the game currently. Then consider that all future costume parts would have to be built with that fourth category as well, and you'll start to understand the problem: if we did this, all other character work would grind to a halt.
It's not that Huge Female is a bad idea aesthetically. Rather, the opportunity cost is just way too high. I'm sure you'd rather have a year's worth of new costumes, new enemy groups, and new allies than one Gigantica, right? We want to give you guys as much cool new stuff as possible as quickly as we can, and that's why it's off the table. Hope that makes sense! |
Sadly, some of you have made logical assessments germane to this topic.
I will hope that my character will get to look the way she is meant to look *before* the servers are turned off!
Thanks for posting in my thread!
Please have a nomtastic day (or evening)!

Pretty sure reposting the same thread over and over again is just as spammy as resurrecting old ones.

You could stop posting in it so it doesn't get bumped again, tho.
Animation issues aside (as they're a perfectly fine reason to laugh at this) how exactly would you tell the difference between a male and a female cat in a T rated game?

I understand that there are some animation issues which might make this a difficult request to fulfill, but I am hoping that we are closer to the day when I can actually have a feline model flying across my computer monitor, her little kitty paws outstretched in front of her, her mini-cape flapping in the breeze.
Please?
Pretty please?!
