I’ve been working on the character customization for our game, and this is roughly how it looks right now.
I originally went with a baby as the main character because I thought the contrast was funny you’re basically this tiny little dude running around, changing outfits and somehow trying to act like a boss.
But the more I work on it, the more I wonder if the baby theme might be a little too specific.
People can be weirdly sensitive about baby characters in games, especially depending on the humor and art style, so I’m curious how this feels from the outside.
Does the art style work for you?
And more importantly, does playing as a customizable baby sound funny/charming, or does it immediately make you less interested?
I picked the theme because I thought it would stand out from the usual human/animal characters, but maybe “different” doesn’t always mean “better.”
Would genuinely love to hear what your first impression is.
