So the Character Creation in Chained Hearts might be a bit.....lack luster
Let me explain: For every minuet change i make, i have to make 1400000 different sprite sheets so it stays consistent,
Example: I want 3 skin tones, 6 different hair styles, 6 eye color options, 4 hair color options and i also want Glasses as an option, They have a uniform so that does help but not by much and you’ll see:
6 hair styles, 3 tones = 18 sprite sheets
6 eye colors, 18 sprite sheets = 108 sprite sheets
4 hair colors, 108 Sprite sheets = 432 sprite sheets
Glasses (1), 432 sprite sheets: 864 sprite sheets
…
Now double it, i have a second set for Masculine Presenting:
…
1,728 separate sprite sheets for such a small range of options
And guess whos the only one spriting
me
So if the character creation is lack luster, please remember:
that’s 1,728 sprites
~~Update~~ We are scrapping the custom character thing and going with preset characters, the upside of this is: you’ll see your character in the epilogues of the different routes! plus it’ll help me get the game out quicker and it’s a lot less daunting to do around 10 character sprites then 1,728 spritesheets
