One of our artists is working on an avatar generator for west. The idea is, that we drop the old avatar system and allow you to design your own character. You can decide what kind of nose, eyes, beards, mouth or hairs he or she should have. The number of possible variations is already quite large, even though we only have a “small” set of test images. A native american face as well as a colored skin is planned as well.
There are a number of advantages to the old system:
- more individuality: The chance of identical “twins” in the game is much smaller than now
- different backgrounds, possibility to reflecting your current location or current work
- simplified process of creating quest giver avatars (currently, it’s way too much work)
- possibility to display current character’s health – bruises and bandages after knock outs or fort battles (only in case of gained duel protection)
- Adding the character avatar to the town page will instantly visualize the effect of a concerted duel attack on that town
- possibility to allow you to earn new stuff to your avatar through quests – like “finish the quest and add this earring to your avatar”
We’re of course still in the process of evaluating this all and it might still change by quite some means.
Cool, i like them :X
Cool! this is really great!
me too!
Good! But Zet you can make a decision on the spam fort-battles? You
promis this! 20-50 spam battles every day not interesting, some guys this not understand.
Very nice
looking forward to it
Looking good, hope it’ll be implemented soon.
Nice idea!!!
btw: Zet please check and give reply in that thread http://forum.westbeta.innogames.de/showpost.php?p=13034&postcount=26
Oh man, there’s gonna be some wierd faces out there..
I can only imagine what my townie; “FourFootPickle” is gonna look like..
Nice touch by the way..
Zet you say… “possibility to display current character’s health – bruises and bandages after knock outs or fort battles (only in case of gained duel protection)”.
After KOed in fort battles you don’t receive duel protection. So… I guess that’s no bruises for fort fighters. 🙁
yipee! that’ll be fun!
It could be 2 kinds of bruised skins:
1 for Duels KOs
1 for Forts KOs
Or it could be that Zet is planning to add duel protection if KOed in forts. 😉
That would be cool too.
I like them but I think I like the “West STYLE” graphics better,
Try making them a bit more like the original avatars…
Very NiCE
But when does it come new Quests?
After the The Ride Quest is there nothing to do then do the same jobbs over and over again.
Why does it comes so many new jobs like — puma, like sulfur and so one, and no quest connected to them..
not at all. you choose to go to fort at your own risk.

good faces. looks great!.

the forts fake is a seriously issue, but increasing money could solve it.
@ zet- Please make declaring amount for battle on beta.world.one same amount as regular worlds. their are now more than 10,000 testers.
but if I like my character
I leave it like this
100%
looks so good 😉
Good Luck!
I’ve seen a lot of great stuff on the blog and on beta.
But when we’re gonna have it on public worlds?
I like those avatars…. really like them… I hope they’ll be implemented soon and we’ll be able to change them periodicaly…. 😀
Nice, like it! 🙂
Finally, yeah, i like it! The “location-reflector” backgrounds are an amazing idea. I can’t wait.
nice nice, also check the litle change in POKER location botton lol but i never see people playing 🙁
I think you need make it able to waist our money there soo people will be pushed to play it lol ( if you some day want to implement this i advise have only limited tables soo people dont try push money player to player and creat a kind of mecanism to dont let pushing happen but seems that will be prety imposible to do 🙁
