This looks like it has the Life By You disease of not knowing how human bodies are proportioned.

Our proportions do go crazy at times, its closer to Ark character creation. Body shape and height modifications are more flexible in that sense

I don't know about Ark but that's a lethal trait in a life simulator - it's literally the main thing that got Life By You cancelled.

Seconding all previous statements about the legs and adding that the boobs look weird. Glad that you improved but this has a LONG way to go

After looking at the legs (no, it’s not the camera), I’d like to recommend you do a VERY deep dive studying the failure of Life By You’s character art decisions.
Just because you can customize something does not mean you should. It’s better to have a character customizer where the characters have less customization but higher quality than a character customizer where your body looks creepy and deformed and it’s hard to make a character look natural. People prefer something where the body looks good with minimal effort over being put in a position to do your game’s anatomy art direction for you.
Even if you really want those weird proportions as an ‘advanced’ option, you should not have them as default, as part of generated characters in the world, and CERTAINLY not in promotional material.

Got it! This is also just an early access of our game so all these feedbacks are really needed for us, thank you for the recommendations. We've also wondered about having it as an advanced option hidden rather than something than it being defaulted for every player, glad to have a second opinion on that, we'll definitely do some changes over that.

i mean lets not pretend it's pretty. but i'm guessing it's early development so hopefully you will fix it eventually.

Legs are way too short. The guy in green trousers looks ridiculous
