Suggestions before you guys release the game

[Nodakear]

Hi,

Wasn't sure where to put this, i hope the developers read this, but since you guys plan to release this game this year i would like to suggest, if possible and hoping it's already in the planning, to update the player model. So far everytime i make a new char, it just looks like the old one, the current facial options don't get much variation possible in facedesigns and the body still feels too clunky... it would be nice if the body model would get an update so u get a better looking human body and the facemodel would have more options to flesh out the shape and form of a face better so u get more different looking faces instead of just the almost same one and every character looking like your previous one. And make the sliders give more smoother variations.

Also, i've reported this before and after i believe 4 years, this still hasn't been fixed so i hope it gets fixed before release.... Everytime i build a gate and lock it and then proceed to build something in my town, for some reason the squadmember that is building, runs to the gate and unlocks it and opens it before it starts building again.... There's totally no need for it as the building and supplies are all within my walls and they should not have a need for an open gate... They just don't seem to like the fact that i close and lock the gate so no one can get in.... My town isn't even open for trading... So why do they need to open that gate? So ya, i sincerely hope this bug also gets fixed before release because it's been in there for 4 years now....

And i know, it's a bug i should post it in bugreports but since i also have the graphical issue with the body, which is a feature request, i put it in here aswell so i don't have to make 2 topics...

I hope these get adressed before the release so the game feels more finished then it currently does now. At the moment eventho you add a lot of stuff to it, the game still does feel a lot like an alpha, and i would very much like for this game to feel like a released game so more people will pick it up and it gets the attention it deserves since it's a good idea and so far plays very nice and is fun... But it just still doesn't look finished to me... A lot of things feel missing to make it appeal to a wider audience... Unless this game was never ment for a wider audience but a select few only.

Like quests to start you up or something, or to have something to do besides finding your own path or maybe not really quests but like, have NPCs ask favors of you, like, make a sword or other item for them... Maybe help a town get supplies which you can make in your town... things to do on the side while you build up whatever you want to be in the game. Stuff like that might just get more people into the game if you would like to make some more money off of the game... i dunno... Otherwise it might end up like minecraft.... survive and when u've survived... well.. that's it, next game.

Also, another point i just wish to point out eventho it's already been said you (the developer) won't do it but i just think it's silly and i want to put in my 2 cents on why.... The slavery in this game... You said you won't let players enslave NPCs because you're against slavery? (dunno if i remembered that right about why you didn't let players enslave NPCs but i think that was the reason why) Yet you do let NPCs enslave the player.... This is just dumb.. If they can enslave us, we should be able to enslave them despite your feelings towards slavery... If you don't like slavery you shouldn't even let the NPCs enslave us players.... Either it's in for both sides or it's out of the window for both sides... You can't have it half way in my opinion. So, i hope this get adressed and fixed too before release in either, every one can enslave or no one can enslave, i don't care either way but it should be the same for every one in my opinion.

Well, that's my bits and pieces for the game so far.... I don't know if this will get adressed or how, but i sure hope it does because i do like the game and would like to see it succeed to the max if possible... i would like it to be on everyone's radar instead of just a select few because it has soo much potential to be fun even for more people...

Wish you guys luck.

I agree on the slavery issue, I also think this should be true for cannibalism (Just in case of emergency of course.) and you should be able to select to kill someone after a fight has happened. I've died a couple times from getting into a fight with someone, knocking them out and before I can get to them to loot them they wake up and by chance kill me instead. If the NPC's can do things, the players should be able to as well.
