Other races

[RayvenD]

Are the skins for the races which are missing for the game planned to be an addition in releases which are in the near future or are they something which is a long way off?

I don't think there will be skins for other races - we do plan afterall on having completely different models for each race. Seeing as how we're very short on 3D modelers (and all of our current 3D artists have very immediate and important tasks) there is really no way to estimate when you will see an actual Diaboli, or a Lemur. My guess would be "long way off," but there can always be surprises.

It would also be a bit of a waste of time to make "temporary" skins - if they are going to be removed anyway, it's better that our 2D artists concentrate on content that is meant to be permanent.

ah well thanks for the info, woulda been nice to see a female ylian or demorian that didnt look like a ynwynn, hopefully won't be too long off.

Recent conversations have indicated that similar races may be in danger of not having their own made-from-scratch models. The races may be recycled from existing models and rigs to save time. I am sure small changes will be made to make them a little more unique, and there was mention of the dimensions being tweaked to suit the other races sizes better. Then new textures would be made, but the animations would remain much the same.

Races mentioned were Hammerwielders and Diaboli as not having their own new meshes.

Diaboli need tails and a sort of "perfect physique". Whatever alterations would be made to the Ynnwn models would be pretty significant.

I would assume that many animations would be reused for races until we get more animators.

Tails and longer horns are the alts I was told. That, and reduced size. A good texture fills in the 'perfect form', as I don't see them getting much better than they are.
