I totally agree! Especially with the eyelashes! I've always felt that something was off with the Hytale avatars and I think the cartoon-like eyelashes help fix that a lot. The avatars need to make a good impression on 1st time players and avatars looking good is important for marketing.
It's crazy how official these videos seem, with music and everything, even though the game is still a couple (hopefully) years from being released! Like every other piece of concept content for the game, it makes the wait more bearable.
Watching this again, Hawkon, and I just love the fact you were able to find such a simple thing and fix it and doing it made a hell of a difference. Keep up the great content, genuinely loved this video.
Incredible video, I can tell you put a lot of effort into this! As a person with a genetic muscular condition, I really appreciate you addressing people with disabilities, and how they can be represented through the character creator. It's not commonly brought up, but in the case of Hytale, I believe it's especially important. Every player should have the freedom to express themselves, and I feel like the potential Hytale has in this regard is limitless. Your solution for the eyelashes is clever, and I hope something similar to it is implemented. Like you said, the more cartoony aesthetic better suits the characters, and helps negate the uncanny valley feel, and it just looks nice. Overall, this is a really high-quality video. Great editing, interesting points, and good visuals. Keep up the good work, I'm proud to say I'm in the under 100 subs gang :D *nO oUtRo?*
Fantastic work as always, man; I continue to be impressed by the nuances and insights of your considerations. As much as I adore the art style of Hytale, I myself worry that the shape and form of player characters being so standardized may contribute to a lack of expressiveness in character designs. An individual character's proportions or silhouette, after all, can be one of the most unique and identifiable features of their design. Of course, there is the issue of fitting assets like clothing or armor to different body sizes and shapes, as well as considering how hit-boxes could be affected. There could be numerous pros and cons to both standardization and diversity in the physique of player characters.
The improvements you talked about would be awesome for a game like this where you are expected to use this character for a variety of servers, mini-games and the survival mode I just think too many options (while never necessarily being a bad thing) could upset folks who just want to get their guy done and hop in their friend's server, keep up the great content folks praise this game so much sometimes its hard to think of all the ways we can improve it further!
A game called terraria has an amazing character creation color palate and the way they have hair is also similarly great, you can permanently change your hair style and color to look better and or cooler and it’ll transfer over to say multiplayer survers, same could be done with clothing, just add npcs that can change this stuff
I'm really interested in how server customisation will work. we know it's easy to force a player into a model, but will it be easy to make an entirely custom avatar creator with custom models and features? what about creating a custom gui or hud?
Character creating in hytale is a whole new level.....looks like i need to make one next time by following my mc skins and transform into hytale styles but i need a crown tho to complete my skin so i hope there more headgear too
I think its important to take note that games like Maple Story 2 allowed for user created content to be viewed by everyone so you ended up being able to make your own custom stuff unrestricted to being client side only / only available in a private server. The solution to inappropriate content was clear rules outlining what was acceptable while vetting player content and allowing a report system.
9:21 there should also be a whitelist option in that case, because there could be unexpected uses for certain items or some exceptions allowed. Regardless great video.
I mean they might add something similar to bedrock minecraft, where people CAN use their own custom assets, but players need to enable playermade skins to be viewable by each player. I.e If a player wanted to import their MC skin, they COULD recreate it fully.
the lack of an afro kills me cause... I have one oh and about the scar part, I agree. IRL, I have a scar I got from a very long time ago on my eyebrow. my twin shares this too... since we did pretty much the same thing. it's on the same side, it's just a slightly different shape
It's a trade-off for getting higher fidelity characters, the Minecraft skin system would not work in this case, so we have to do the best with what we've got. Luckily you would be able to change your character however you want on your private server.

They should hire you.
Senior eyelash designer.
"Why are there 12000 different eyelashes in this game?"
@@Hawkon lol
I love that so many years later, Hytale still has such a dedicated community!

Even with such a minor topic such as character creation/appearance, you make it engaging and interesting with your analysis into it. Great video.

This is such an in-depth video, and the points you bring up are all well thought out and should be implemented. Very impressed.

Nice video, you're so underrated
a good place to look for character behavior and animations would be the sims 4, it has different "personalities" which effect all the basic animations
Why haven't they hired you???

After all these years waiting for Hytale and watching videos I never noticed this eyelash thing. Great video.

Character creating in hytale is a whole new level.....looks like i need to make one next time by following my mc skins and transform into hytale styles but i need a crown tho to complete my skin so i hope there more headgear too
plot twist: hytale devs are bored and will make pixelated cyberpunk editor v2
No outro?
I just want to make a totally innocent green bunny and then go postal on every player :P

i hope the devs watched this ❤ the girlies, such as i, need this.

Is no one talking about that there is a option In the shirt section that shows an X which usually means None..
I do like the preset suggestion, something a similar game needs.
Vintage Story, which was made by people who worked on Hytale so.. Yeah.
First time seeing this channel! Great video!
damn, informative, entertaining, immaculately edited. nice work!
"Instead of leaving on a high note, im gonna start nitpicking" chad move.. then he left without an outro, omega chad
That outro though xD
Totally need to be able to adjust the Haight cose I want to make kanna TwT
a lot of great ideas here!
Nice video it was really enjoyable ^^
Really nice video! :)
Thanks, Bree!
Wow great job dude!!!
I swore I would've written a comment, but just wanted to say this is a great video !
Also yay I managed to make it into the video 2:39 :)

I love how half the video is just about eyelashes
2:58 TBH, every Link is just a random guy who cosplays the previous Link
Is there an way to create clothes,acessories or hair (etc) that could be maked from the person or from a photo of anywhere????
This is gonna be the best game ever :))
This was such a good video
After everything here gets added I can’t wait to see the game in 2034
the lack of an afro kills me cause... I have one
oh and about the scar part, I agree. IRL, I have a scar I got from a very long time ago on my eyebrow. my twin shares this too... since we did pretty much the same thing. it's on the same side, it's just a slightly different shape
Yep, it would be easy to add an afro and make it tuck under the helmet. Also what on earth did you do to your eyebrow?
@@Hawkon a while ago me and my brother were playing and we jumped and hit our heads... hard
and about tucking an afro under a helmet, I want the realism where a little bit sticks out a little bit, you can't really do much about it irl :p
Amazing video!
I see no reason for sombody to be unable to upload their own character models as long as their under a certain size or number of blocks
damn that's a lot of customization
Good video homie
I think eyelashes remind me of some meme, was it something related to a singer... uh Oh I remember now XD.
Second time watching this love your ideas
hope u get hired for the new hytale graphic mothor
i think those are many great ideas, although i dont think height changes should be added
But can you play as a corgi?
You know what would fix all of this? let us make our own.
yes it looks better but its something I can live without
I feel like the eyes are a little too big in hytale. Definitely getting uncanny valley vibes
You can get smaller ones
@@Hawkon oh, nvm then lol
Where all that character where from, you can actually make those character in the game or they are just some 3D handmade ones in Blockbench?
I created most of the characters for this video
how do you make a character??
In blockbench
🔥
This is shadow, it's normal..
Mine will look like the 4th doctor
we need more hytale blogposts and gameplay leaks would be cool
Hytale or Roblox? WHO WIN? @Strange Animations
Hytale ez
I did not get notified of this comment, but I found it anyway.
Trick question, the real answer is the hit game Among Us (2018)
Roblox are cannot be compared to Hytale Mechanics it self..
@@riskblade327 you are fundamentally always wrong regardless of the questions you are answering
wait, Hytale is real?
I'm at least 20% sure it is
I feel like these are all good ideas, but I think they feel more appropriate in an update after the game comes out.
O_O
8:59 it’s probably better to just not
do this do that do this do that
dont ask for too much
the character creator is garbage; minecrafts skin system is infinitely better
It's a trade-off for getting higher fidelity characters, the Minecraft skin system would not work in this case, so we have to do the best with what we've got. Luckily you would be able to change your character however you want on your private server.
I will judge that when I can try it myself.
Dude you’re playing a Minecraft clone Minecraft is better
Minecraft’s better
you so underrated it's crazy😁😁
