Custom Texture Creation Questions & Concerns

Greetings!

On reading through the various posts here in regards to custom texture creation and limitations, I'm still left with a few questions/concerns. In designing are we limited with a traditional humanoid frame or can we plan on textures for more alien builds? Examples similar to the beast sets released in CoH/CO, non-standard heads like an eagle or dragon, Satyr style legs like hooved/insectoid/reptile/avian ones, or wings and tails and things of that like. Are any of these going to be allowed or could we possibly be allowed to wait until those base frames/animations are implemented in later issue releases?

Also would it be possible to trade out unused/unwanted items for other parts? What I mean is trade out the cape creation for an extra head option or the spare weapon for a backpack, etc.

Leaps of faith have never been an issue with me but with +3k in pledge funds riding on this I would love to have a bit more of an informed choice. Last thing I would want for us is to have any of our planned designs get denied right out of the gate because we couldn't ask and get the fine details on the creation limitations before the end of the Kickstarter.

Sadly very little has been explained on expectations, guidelines, and limitations for the creation of the custom textures for the 1K and up pledge marks. Now most players won't care as long as they get to make something awesome, some have a vague idea of what they want, and some have a darn good idea of what they want or have illustrated it themselves. Any information would be absolutely wonderful before we reach the point of no return.

I know this sounds less than up beat and I do apologize for that, I cannot begin to imagine the workload you amazing people have been going through to make this possible for us, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. However this is indeed an investment of sorts, even something like a digital brochure on the matter would be leaps and bounds forward on the subject.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Hi DarkSabyr,

Hi DarkSabyr,

PetalStorm elaborated on the 3k (fashionista) option in http://cityoftitans.com/comment/26960#comment-26960 (the "Do you have Art related questions?" thread) . More information on 1k (lethal weapon) and 1.5k (double trouble) might end up in that thread soon too. If there's something still not answered there you might like to post there.

My bosslady (Quinn) Has said

My bosslady (Quinn) Has said if you want to 'bank' your pieces for a later date when we have different skeletal sets or anthropomorphic heads like we plan to have you can. And for the record we do plan on having these sets in. I just can't promise they will be in at launch. Feel free to PM me the specifics of what you are looking for so I can get you a much better answer. Some times it's on a case by case and we might have something that fits your needs already in the works.

The weapons can be any 'prop' too it doesn't have to be a weapon so yes you can have a backpack instead of one of the weapons.

As for trading out a piece for a 2'nd option. I don't see a problem as long as it's something of like value. Some pieces are significantly more intricate then others and take a lot more time to produce. and some pieces are easier like say a belt. But I am willing to work with you within reason.

Thank you for the

Thank you for the clarification :) I apologize as I somehow managed to completely miss that forum thread Airhead, thank you for pointing that out. Would it be possible to "bank" the statue for the add on "immortalized" as well until the creation of the costume as well?

Yes, you can bank the 'statue

Yes, you can bank the 'statue.' It would certainly help us if several thousand people all didn't hit us on day one of the game going live with all their KS requests being negotiated! :)
