After a somewhat rocky first Closed Beta Test, the Chrono Odyssey team is back at work and making some much needed changes based on feedback. One thing that may have gone under the radar but is very important to the team is character creation, which will see some major changes.
Chrono Odyssey Character Creation Was “Heartbreaking” For The Team
Chrono Odyssey character creation was initially introduced with little to no limits, and, as might be expected, some people took their characters to the limits. We say 8ft monsters with necks thicker than heads, neon monstrosities, and body shapes that can only be described as nightmare fuel.
The reactions of the developers were surprisingly honest. At first they welcomed the creativity, but it soon turned into a “heartbreaking” experience, seeing their beloved character models being distorted and designed to “look as strange and uncomfortable as possible”.
Now this is nothing new. We’ve seen this happen a lot in games where the flexibility is there – some players just love pushing character creation to the limit and making strange and unusual designs. With that said, the Chrono Odyssey team clearly feels that this sort of design doesn’t fit the theme of the game and big restrictions are coming in the future.
