FEATURE: More Body Shapes

But still they will never say anything!

I had made my own thread before I saw this one, so I’m gonna go ahead and post my argument/statement here.

Let me get to the point - in Episode, in all styles, there is one designated body style for men and women. Both of these styles are the “ideal body shape” for each gender. For the females, they’re petite, have big chests, they’re skinny, have a tiny waist, etc. The men have rock hard abs, they have large biceps, and they have a boxy man structure. While we get to change things like eye shape, face shape, and hairstyles, we don’t get to design anything else. I’m not asking for a full blown Sims customization option, but I think different body weights and styles would be great to see. This would make readers feel much more confident, seeing that perhaps a thicker girl is a main character in one of their favorite stories, when they’re currently worrying about body image. It could open up so much diversity for characters, and every character could look different. Plus, it would open up so many story options. I wanted to create a comedy/romance story about a girl trying to loose weight for her school’s upcoming prom, but the only options I would have to make her “different” would be the pregnancy belly option, and that would be plain awkward.

Maybe someone’s mentioned this before, but I don’t see it anywhere. Like I said, I’m not looking for full blown HD human beings on screen, but since Episode is supposed to be diverse, and able to make any story come to life, it only makes sense to me that we could represent that in all shapes and sizes, literally!

I totally agree with this! But it would be harder to implement this feature, because it would mean every clothing item has to match all body types. That would be a lot of work, although it would really be worth it!

I would really hope that Episode considers this in a future update! This is a super popular thought from so many people and it would give our stories so much more diversity and a little realism!

@Anyanka Agreed. With the way things are now, they’ve boxed themselves into the two body types (for all styles including Classic, Ink, and Limelight.) so it would be difficult at the moment to do this at the moment but never say never. But in all honesty, I don’t think we’ll be seeing new body types in Limelight and especially INK (no more new updates for INK except releasing hidden content).

Based off their posts, I predict that in the future, Episode will include more body shapes, but it will be available in a new style - a style that we haven’t even imagined yet.

Edit: Oh, and supporting this, of course.

There’s a dress for ink that I saw in one of their featured stories that makes the mc look curvy. As for limelight, I’m sure it’s something that will be added.

I really hope so! Sad it probably won’t be for INK though but Limelight’s okay too. :woman_shrugging:t3::slight_smile:

Okay, first of all, I never said anything about disagreeing. Second of all, I don’t like that tone you’re using. Third of all, if you ARE going to be using that type of attitude, go onto Tumbler or some other emo website where you can yell into thin air, instead of coming onto a website where people both vote and voice their own opinions, to say that either my opinions/suggestions are wrong, when what they are, are opinions and suggestions.
So yeah, bye :wave:

Cheers,

(Ps. Sorry if this sounds rude, I’ve had a bad day and this is like, the only way to outlet it. Also, when you wrote your reply it interupted my anime so I’m double annoyed. Again, sorry, but this is just me.)
