Customization options
🕑 Added 2025-03-16 23:27:48 +0000 UTCThis is a continuation on the post from last week about dragon customization with more details on what will be possible since I get a lot of questions about that.
Apart from what was shown last week (adding horns/spikes/fins/plates to different areas, changing tail end, head morphing, editing body proportions and customizing colors), this week I've made preparations that will allow for editing the wing membrane attachment so you can have it go all the way out on the tail (for example like Syrax in HotD), as well as changing number of wing fingers and wing style. The system can also support changing leg/feet style with different numbers of toes, and we've starting working on adding optional front legs which I'll probably be able to show next week. I also worked on the eye customization this week, they have a pretty advanced shader that looks very cool up close. You'll be able to for example change and blend colors for the iris, choose pupil type and add optional glow.
In the future, the goal is to add multiple skin types to choose from that have their own characteristics. The current dragon is made to look very neutral as a base for customization, but we want to add more unique skin styles too with different types of scales and what not, possibly also some feather/fur variants as well. It's also technically possible already to choose different teeth setups and tongue variants but we haven't made any additional variants yet so there is nothing to choose from. Another thing I prototyped a while ago was free form painting of color, which may or may not be added in the end depending on how valuable it would be. Either way we'll probably add different regions you can color as well as patterns you can project anywhere on the body to get a lot of unique variations.

Yeah it's already implemented actually along with hovering when you slow down enough, but it's not shipped yet in the EA because there are still some issues. Many flight improvements are planned for later!

AWESOME!!! SOO EXCITED! Are y'all going to add like a "backflap" control or something to like, slow down while flying? It could be the S key? Im just thinking of like, when trying to land lol <3 Amazing work! Keep it up Im so hyped!

That's amazing! I can't wait to experiment to see if I can recreate my Iron-wing. I know there are going to be saddles, do you think you'll be considering dragon armor anytime down the line?
