This week, we’re going to take some time to talk about the character customization coming to Ephemeral Tale in Major Update #6, as well as a sneak-peek into some of the achievements that will be coming in that update as well. While I’m still working out the kinks of the presentation of the former, this is what things look like right now:
It's not quite pretty yet, but she'll get there.
When all is said and done, this should read pretty clearly: in the middle, you'll have the sprite that currently represents you, the next sprite on your right, and the previous one on the left. As time goes on, this screen will get more of a face-lift as we get closer to the release of Major Update #6.
Ultimately, the goal of this feature is to give you, the player, the ability to have a main character that visually represents how you feel (or want to feel). I believe that it’s an important element of the power fantasy of the game for you to be able to connect with the avatar of the game as well as possible. This feature is so, so exciting to me because of what it could mean to the folks that aren’t as well represented in this kind of genre, and that this allows me to affirm to those folks that yes, they matter as well.
On the achievement side of things, the plan is for Ephemeral Tale to have a total of 31 achievements when they become available!
Here's a preview for you, you rapscallion, you:
- No One Man Should Have All That Power -- Have 9999 power at once.
- I'm Not Superstitious, But I'm A Lil Bit Stitious -- Run away from a group of ghosts.
- Now That's A Classic -- Obtained a Legendary version of a Something Classic guest design.
- RANK UP!! -- Used your first Scroll of Power.
- ...And This Is To Go Beyond! -- Begin New Game+.
Ooh, baby. This is gonna be a fun update, huh? Well, that's all I've got for you guys this week (currently recovering from the illness that is afflicting the world at large), but next week you'll get a preview at some of the achievement icons, as well as an update on the character selection screen!
Until next time, have fun and stay safe!
