    At least give the player's avatar a head. Used Freecam mode once, and that was downright unsettling.

    Brrrr...

    I warned all of you, NOT TO DO THAT :worried:

    I know it was disproved by @nesrak1 in another thread, but I still like to think that the player's disembodied head is floating around the world when I'm in FREECAM mode, and he's peeping on the Peepers sleeping in their coral homes... :cold_sweat:

    Are we going to make Subnuatica like Shovel knight?

    I've spent 5 minutes trying to understand what "shovel knight" had pertaining to this topic. it look an uninspired 2D game.

    Please tell me, this topic isn't overblown enough and must stay up the list longer, until every poster of the forum see it and it gain 99pages repeating themselves.

    Google told me something about the "sprite body swap" update for Shovel Knight, so they have a balanced gender ratio o/

    As a self identified virtual sprite for a computer game with sprites, I approve this move. Because muh feelings demand inclusion on everything and everywhere, no matter how sane and logical contrary opinions sound. Feelings!!!!

    It seems to me that this video is most apropo for this convo ...

    While I have a large soft spot for a good song with a disco beat, I think this one might be more apropos. B)

    Unmmm... ewww! I never realized this guy was so hideous. Prepare a nuke in Silo 4... I don't care if we've never gotten one to fly. We need to take this ugly character model out! Ok... anybody know where this guy lives? I have a nuke armed I just... don't have coordinates. He probably lives in the middle of nowhere. Am I overreacting?
    Help meh.

    No, you're undereacting. Prepare a base-delta-zero, exterminatus, and glassing, all to be deployed at the same time.

    You guys know that's been the character avatar since the cinematic trailer was released in 2014, right? This is not a shock.

    They've been working on the game since 2014 and *still* haven't given the poor guy a face yet??

    Why would they, you never see your face. I do want a reflection from the in-game mirrors but if the devs want the protagonist to be a vampire I'm cool :sunglasses:

    I took your advice. There was an error in the guidance computer on one of the ICBMs. It turned arround and hit my bunker. Now I'm stuck down here and my entire arsenal has been destroyed. Oops. :|

    Dear Unknown Worlds Subnautica Team,

    Please include the option to play as a female protagonist.

    By looking at this chart we can see that females make up approximately 50% of the population.
    rag6ly717uxy.png

    That tells us that including the female avatar will help market the game to an audience of twice the current size. Again, that's doubling your sales group in a single art asset - a pretty good value.

    Secondly, when creating the female avatar, remember, that this is NOT a good representation of a female.
    6nbum7b0ut9x.jpg
    That's bad. Too skinny. No curves. Nothing feminine. Don't do that.

    The following images demonstrates a much better female body type:
    kqyqsv6ldv6d.jpg
    See how she has hips and curves? Now that's a silhouette that reads 'female'. And in case you're wondering, that's Christina Hendricks in the picture.

    In summary, your efforts to include a female protagonist in Subnautica would be greatly appreciated by everyone.

    Thank you for reading,

    ~FirstEd

    Well i'd prefer to see an athletic woman with an average looking body. i mean swimming around and being a crew member on a ship you got to work out and stay in top shape. i'd rather not see a stick insect and give negative ideas about what a woman should look like. i would also not like to put up this fantasy idea that the female PC should look like Christina Hendricks who likely doesn't exercise to keep her figure the way it is. Just a typical athletic average shape, noting too flashy in either direction.

    i saw the female PC that UWE were working on a while ago on steam through a picture and the hair and eyes just made her look like an alien. but then again the body shape of the male PC on this game isn't exactly representative either...

    It's Sébastien Buemi!! I thought he was racing around in open wheelers? Didn't realise he likes the deep ocean as well.

    I understand what the OP is getting at! Immersion! A lot of people (including myself ) like to imagine they are the characters they are playing. If you are female doing this and all you here is male voice or all you see is male likeness then it kind of tough to have that immersion.

    With all due respect, dont you think they have much, MUCH bigger problems to worry about than catering to the small female demographic that wont play games unless there is a female avatar?...

    it's only a discussion at this point and if the devs do get around to it on their own time then Kudos.

    The male PC isn't exactly right either, the hips and legs are starters, to a lesser extent the hands, feet and head. it's more than just the female form though, it's about finding what the right proportions are to the PC models, be it male or female.

    @JudgeRhadamanthus
    Thanks for letting me know that when I answered 'Yes' to the question 'Facebook?' in my profile, that it actually generated a link. I didn't even know that 'Yes' was a valid Facebook page. O_o

    My profile has been updated with my correct Facebook information.

    After little to no pondering I have come to a conclusion: the current avatar needs to be redone. I don't care if the devs wait for the last update on the roadmap, but the model needs to be redone. This guy is just unnatural!

    The game does take place very far in the future (not sure if an exact date was givin) so one can assume the current fashion trends have changed dramatically. 100 years ago people dressed up for school. Today you have to look as casual as possible. Who knows what horrors will spawn in 100 years :lol:
