Welcome back challengers!
Today we'd like to shine a spotlight on the new and improved character creator for Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers. Building on the success of the original Arcade Spirits and taking on board community feedback we've introduced a number of new features to help you to tailor your character.
Customization Options
When you begin a new game you'll be asked to create your character using a range of adjustable criteria. Players will get to choose from a variety of options including:
- Name & Handle - Pick a name and a creative gamer handle. You'll also have the option to decide how other characters refer to you throughout the game.
- Online Avatar - What gamer profile is complete without an awesome avatar? Here you'll be able to pick your online avatar to compliment the iconic designs belonging to your team mates.
- Pronouns - Choose from a wide variety of pronouns: He/Him, She/Her, They/Them, Ze/Zir, Ze/Hir, Ze/Mer, Ze/Zher, It/Its, Xe/Xem, Ey/Eirself, Ey/Emself, Ne/Nem, Ve/Ver, Fae/Faer, Ae/Aer
- Skin Tone - The gaming scene is as diverse as ever, so let your character reflect this by selecting a natural skin tone from a palette of 30 choices.
- Hair Style - From casual styles to stylish contemporary cuts, create a new look and choose from 100+ dyes.
- Eye Color - Explore some truly eye-catching looks or reflect your own eye color.
- Nose Selection - Pick from a range of distinctive facial features.
- Body Type & Shirt - Select your body type from a range of shapes and sizes, and pick out some stylish new threads to complement your look.
- Pants & Skirts - Smart-casual or light and breezy?
- Glasses - A selection of interesting frames to choose from, from the studious to the outrageous!
- Headwear - Strengthen your hair game with headwear that comes in multiple sizes for the perfect fit.
With the new character creator we're aiming to give players much more freedom, and we hope you'll enjoy discovering the numerous combinations that are possible. All customization options will be available regardless of the pronouns or body type chosen.
Change is good, so we've also added the option to adjust all of the aforementioned options mid-playthrough as your character develops (You'll have the option to make changes at the end of each story chapter).
Designing Your Rival
In addition to the player character, you'll be tasked with designing an arch rival! The same options will be available when editing with the exception of their shirt colour, which is locked to a nefarious black. A word of warning though as your rival's appearance can NOT be altered again during the game. Something to bear in mind if you happen to pick a particularly 'creative' name for them...you better believe they'll be stuck with it!
We can't wait to see what designs you all come up with! Remember Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers launches on May 27 2022!
We'll be back with another update again soon!
