Dev Diary #3 - Character Creator and the Magnificent Beardstache
Character development is integral to Oceaneers, so wouldn't it be nice if you could customize the look of your characters? Well, you can!
Playtesters have already been loving huge amount of customization for characters! You can really create unique designs, making the characters your own.
[h2]The "Beardstache" System[/h2]
Our unique "Beardstache" system allows you to choose a separate beard and moustache, combining them together. This results in a huge amount of variety, allowing you to come up with great character designs, with facial hair in all the right places!
[h2]Backgrounds[/h2]
Character backgrounds determine their starting stats, skills they like/dislike, and in some cases give them unique traits!
[h2]Traits[/h2]
Choose traits to customize your characters even more. Optionally choose a bonus positive trait by taking a negative one for a little risk and reward.
All of these systems together allow you to create different characters when starting each playthrough. Whatever happens after that is up to the sharks!
That wraps up this dev diary, we would love to hear your thoughts!
