[h3][✨v0.10 is in development and will be available in end-Sep!✨][/h3] [h2]Hi Researchers![/h2] I've been adding more [b]player customisation options[/b] in the past few weeks! Improving the current customisation feature is something that I've wanted to work on eventually, and being able to customise the player after a save file is created is a feature that was requested by several players. With that in mind, I polled our Discord for whether players would prefer to (A) Change your appearance on the go (e.g. from the Profile Menu), or (B) Have a dedicated item such as a Wardrobe where you access it at home. The [b]Wardrobe[/b] idea was more popular and I started work on that! [h2]Wardrobe πŸ‘š[/h2] The Wardrobe is an item that can be purchased from Theo at his Shop (currently in game). He sells 4 different types of Wardrobes based on the season, and any of them would give players a way to change their appearance (once the update is live): [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40811669/7fc295f50280bee3f9a2db6109a5660b13ed4e61.gif[/img] Using the Wardrobe, players can change their Appearance (Hairstyle, Hair Colour, Outfit etc.) as well as their Equipment (Hat, Amulet, Ring). You might have noticed some additions from the current customisation feature: [list] [*] More hairstyles and hair colours! [*] Hairstyles are now sorted as Short, Medium, and Long, for easier navigation. [*] Added Face and Accessory customisation. [/list] [h2]Customisation Slots βœ…[/h2] Additionally, each player would have 4 customisation slots where their choices would be saved and can be easily swapped.

There's currently only one Unique Set (Violet Archive Set), but I plan to add more in the future! Speaking to certain NPCs while wearing a Unique Set can trigger [b]special dialogue[/b]. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40811669/fb170d1c3be1eaa17e0e89157d0732a3bca216d5.gif[/img] I hope that players would get to create a Researcher that more closely resonates with them with this update! <3 Update soon!
