Character creation

Notes

Height Adjustment

• No manual height slider: Zois have pre-programmed motions and animations that assume a fixed height range.
• Male vs. Female height: Male zoys are deliberately coded to be slightly taller, but further individual height adjustments are not supported.
• Rationale: Pre-made animations look best with uniform height. Advanced inverse-kinematics would degrade the animation quality, so the devs chose fixed heights.

Body Shapes and Range

• Wider body range: The game now allows a greater variety of body shapes than earlier demos.
• Trade-off: Larger or smaller bodies can cause clipping or awkward “pixel spills,” but the devs wanted to give players more freedom.

Male vs. Female Mesh Differences

• Not different meshes: Both genders share core systems but emphasize different aesthetic details (body proportions, etc.).
• Why not a single universal mesh? A single-mesh approach was considered but scrapped for failing to meet the devs’ visual-quality goals.

Hair Customization

• Expanded Black/African-textured hair: Significantly increased options following player feedback.
• High resource usage: Complex curly/afro hairstyles can consume as much data as an entire character body.
• Performance tip: If your system struggles, using a bald hairstyle reduces resource load.

Tattoos

• Early Access: Limited to facial/neck tattoos.
• Future (around August): Full-body tattoos planned, plus an AI-based system to create custom designs (upload your own image to generate a tattoo texture).
