Any chance the MC will have a few shade options? I can understand not initially wanting that to be a focus but towards the end of development maybe it could be considered?
I was actually thinking about this, but I have a lot on my plate as of now, so I've pushed this idea to the end. This is mainly because I'd have to make a whole lot of sprites if I add a character customisation option now, like hair, eye, skin etc. It'd be hard for me later on if I just add the skin colour options now and add the other customisation options later.
I'm hoping by the end of the development, I will have plenty of free time to do a full character customisation feature. So till then, I added a basic sprite for her (because I don't like the bald and grey Y/N character) so that I can work on more important features like inventory systems and map layout and stuff.
