What costumes/outfits do you want in the game?

How many colors of dyes would we have to get exactly is my next question on the whole collecting the dyes from monsters would there multi colored dyes or would they all be solid colors?

This 100%. Having to collect dyes seems like filler/gameplay padding, sounds like an inconvenience for people who just want one color, and feels like a feature of the game is being taken away rather than added.

"Hmm, should we just give the player the freedom and convenience to choose whatever colors they want whenever they want, or should we make them grind enemies, look for them, or possibly keep them from getting a color they want until late in the game instead?"

Choosing colors for different parts sounds great, but I also think it'd be nice to have an option to color the entire outfit in order to streamline the whole process if the player doesn't plan on coloring each part separately.

I think the broken color wheel thing sounds like a good idea. It doesn't have to take long so it won't be grindy/filler and it could be one of the first available quests so it could double as a tutorial for gameplay mechanics and map navigation. It should also be auto-complete in new game+. Just an idea.

We still of course have no idea how the customization will be. They have more than enough money to do it right but they may not want to focus on it and take the common route of preset color schemes *shudders*

Agreed.  There should just be a town that has all the shops you'd come to expect, and one of them would be a tailor that can change your colors and buy outfits from.

No need to make it complicated.

What about a full amazon costume, just wearing nothing? Just fighting full barb with no shame XD

No?, oh well, maybe she can get away with it if her whole body transforms into glass. Or they can go full Monty Gebel, he'd be like, "there's too much man for you to handle!" You could have like super low defense, and bring new meaning to naked run. Like "B, I Ninja Gaiden that S!" Lol

Okay maybe nobody else finds that amusing.
Maybe they can get away with a naked Ares boss though, like nothing but a Sword and Hoplon.

Fully crystalized costumes do sound pretty neat. If they get in, I hope it's done in a classy way where people go "wow, that looks cool!" rather than "tee hee, crystalized nudity!"

You know (and this isn't a critique, just an observation) it kind of amazes me how attractive this option/concept is to the backers of this project. The "costume" system in SOTN is something I kind of just ignored but it seems to have been such a memorable part of that game to so many that its lead to so much conversation on this topic as well as the "Customize" system Inticreates eventually implemented (smart on them for listening to the backers on this).


The only way something like that could work is if it was featureless nudity. Like with the Liquid Terminators or when the Human Torch activates his power. Where basically their entire body is either patterned or mono-colored and most sense of "detail" is lost. Anything else, anything approaching actual, "realistic"  nudity, is a nonstarter for what should be like a million obvious reasons.


There's a big difference between monsters or even bosses/subosses and the protagonist/antagonist  of your game. Its very easy to justify monsters (especially sexually themed ones like Succubi and Vampires) in states of undress, less so much for human/mostly humanoid major characters especially in a game of this sort. It's certainly not impossible - I mean you could get away with it in like a transformation (we've certainly had Succbi transformations in previous games) but that's clearly not what you're describing, it still wouldn't be full on nudity and full on nudity (or just prancing around in a thong or speedo) just for the sake of it is going to be a turn off to a lot of people.

Loved that response lol... and I had no idea this thread was going to get the response it got lol I just made it to think up some imaginary outfits for Miriam lol.

Now back to the topic, if you've notice when Iga is in charge of a game, his girls are dressed modestly. the monsters on the other hand... not so much. I like the way Iga does this and I hope he continues to make his girls badass and modest...

That being said... I would still want to see kitty a maid costume on Miriam... nothing too revealing just for fun you know. That was why I wished there was another girl to play with lol.

This is not a serious suggestion: I admit to wondering how good Miriam would look in a sailor-fuku. :3
