Suggestions: Character Customization & Companion DLC

Postby Astranon » Thu Aug 03, 2017 8:30 am

Hello Developers,

First, let me say that I feel your game is a lot of fun. The aesthetics are great as well! Exploration and collecting/melding slimes are both very enjoyable endeavors. That said, I feel there are a few things that could be added to make this already enjoyable game even better:

1. Customization of the main character's appearance would allow players to identify with Beatrix on a more personal level. It would be great if players were given the option of choosing a hair style, outfit, and color palette.

2. I would gladly pay for a DLC that enabled players to designate one or more slimes as companions. This might allow the player to name that slime, play mini-games with it to increase a happiness meter, and take it along when exploring.

...Given the comments some players have made via the Steam forum, I know that these two features would be very well received. I do hope you take them into consideration.

Thank you for listening!

1. I rather dislike this idea. The whole point of any character is to have a recognisable look - why would you want to customise Beatrix? Do you feel the need to customize Mario or Kirby?

2. This is suggested a lot, and I'm rather neutral about the idea - it wouldn't really add much. Then again, it wouldn't take away anything either.

TheGreciansHousehold,

As stated in the original post, the reason for customization of the main character would be to "allow players to identify with Beatrix on a more personal level." And, while they have their defaults, neither Mario nor Kirby has ever been restricted to a single look. Change of appearance keeps things fresh and interesting, after all.
