Hey all, Bear with me because I am not certain if this has been suggested before. I was thinking today that it would be cool for people to be able to have a 3D character model for their own account in kaw. That would be up to the ape's to deliver. Basically you could pick a character body type and gender from a few options and then that would be you! How cool would that be to see yourself and for others to see you instead of just a flag? On top of that goes the gear you've earned which they have already developed art for, they'd just have to turn it into 3D art. Obviously for a person with no equipment they'd have to have some kind of standard clothing...or perhaps just leaves in the appropriate places? It would bring a new element to the game and might gain some player interest. I mentioned it earlier in wc but not sure if any of the apes actually saw it...just a thought. Have A nice day!
*Shivers* Idk how I feel about this. But the original equip with would have looked awful. Hooves. Ugly spiky helm. Etc.
Nope. This would be awesome. But the reality is: This would be taxing on ATA servers and most mobile phones. Especially 3D rendering. Plus, avatars would be kinda odd. I mean, in PIMD it would be cool but here it would be kinda odd.
Support, I did suggest something similar, in 2D though.I don't think the game servers can support anything 3D.
I think they should be able to afford it by now. What with their constant earnings from hte and battle cry. :lol: I see the concern about it maybe being a bit much for some devices but they could make it an additional feature so it would only load up when clicked on. This could be done under the view equipment section of the game. Then those with lower capability devices wouldn't have to worry about it crashing their game and it could still be available.
Honestly, as cool of an idea as this is it's unlikely we'll see it come to Kingdoms at War. Having some form of player avatar/character is something we've actually talked about, but with the current design of the game and how it's been since it's inception many years ago, the focus is actually on your Kingdom for the most part and the equipment you (or your soldiers) have equipped. Beyond that, having a 3D model of a character would be pretty intensive on many devices our players have, and actually goes against the kind of retro and hardcore feel Kingdoms at War has. Beyond that, simply turning all equipment into "3D" isn't nearly as easy a task as it sounds, and with the number of different equipment in the game would likely take months if not years to fully complete. That said, it's still a cool idea, and I always wonder what the soldiers behind the attacks of our Kingdoms may look like.
It's easy to model in Cinema 4D, though, it's just time consuming. It's a great idea and I support but I doubt it'll ever happen especially with the people playing on older devices.
Thank you for a response. I don't expect you and or other devs to sit in forumns 24/7 but it is nice to see interaction more tHan we have had over the past 3 years. I do appreciate your response
I mentioned this not to long ago to a few clan mates and a few people in pm's they all said its a great idea and i should post it looks like u beat me to it but oh well! SUPPORT!
Im sorry but i cant support this kaw doesn't seem like the type of game to have this kind of feature i can't see it.
Interesting thought OP, but this wouldn't be that practical considering everything in KaW is 2D, on top of the lack of aesthetics that don't exist in the game. It would be kind of random, which wouldn't look good in my opinion.
Kaw is changing anyway and if it's going to keep growing it needs improvements, even if some are just aesthetically pleasing. No it isn't retro, it's progressive. If you think it's out of place, I'd argue that it isn't at all. The King/Queen of your whole kingdom should have a face! :lol: I suppose a 2D version would be ok...but not as good as a 3D one. I didn't mean to make it seem like 3D gear wouldn't require effort, on the contrary I know it would, however the concept art is already there to work off of. I'd think the game devs would want to move forward and draw in more people so I figured I'd just throw this at the wall and see if it stuck. Thanks for reading fellow kawers and apes!
