A Year to Remember
Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch News
Captain's Log #1: Changing Character Names
Hello Tacticians,
Welcome to a new series of logs where I highlight some details of Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch. These might not be game-changing features, but I hope they add to your experience—especially since many of them are rooted in your feedback.
In this first log, I’d like to talk about character creation options.
For those of you who played the original Lost Eidolons, you’ll remember the protagonist was Eden. The game followed his story, and he was designed to fit my vision for the character. This meant Eden wasn’t customizable. However, many of you shared feedback that you wanted the ability to change his name, gender, and appearance. Thinking about games like Elden Ring and Fire Emblem, I’ve always found the ability to customize the protagonist’s name, gender, and appearance to be very appealing as well.
That’s why, from the very early planning stages of Veil of the Witch, I wanted to include these customization options. Of course, I wanted to offer even more, but with limited resources and budget, some of the more extensive features had to be set aside for a future game.
Even so, I thought it would be great to let players change the names of other playable characters, not just the main character. This idea came from my experience streaming XCOM 2. While playing, I renamed characters after friends who were watching, and it made the experience so much more immersive and personal.
In Veil of the Witch, you can change a character’s name by opening the character information screen and either pressing the T key or clicking the T key icon below the character illustration!
I can’t help but imagine how exciting it would be if, in the next game, we could let players fully customize everything about the main character—from their face to their appearance and more!
See you in the next one!

Lost Eidolons is a Baldur's Gate 3 style turn-based RPG, and it's 20% off
To wile away the dark and dreariness of Scottish wintertime, I've found myself diving back into Baldur's Gate 3. As someone who initially hated its turn-based combat, I've fallen in love with the tactical strategizing and coinflip decision-making; something that I genuinely didn't expect would happen. While I've still not made it to the titular city yet, it's a genre that I'm eager to explore, and Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch looks like it could be the perfect companion to BG3.
