Girl power?

[Sundance]

GIRL <-----> GUY



I'm just curious is there an appetite for female sprites. I've gone and done front sprites and front clothing sprites (albeit with a backpack) just to see what they look like, and it ain't half bad. I've shrunk the waist and arms, increased the hips and messed around with the bust, so you have a skinnier more effeminate sprites.
As a result, the clothing looks a little different, but that was to be expected.

Once the sides and back are done for both the nudes and jumpsuit, the rest shouldn't be too hard at all really, just making alterations to the various jumpsuits that exists on the station. Shoes, hands and face are the same shape.

How this would be coded: Nothing changes. There is no female or male clothing, it just looks different when a female or male puts it on. Most exosuits would follow suit in looking different on a woman, i.e: Armor, overcoats, but stuff like EVA gear would be one size fits all, and would look no different.

Would it be interesting if some jobs started with a dress? I.e: Research director may start with a professional dress, as would bar(woman) and scientists. More manual labor jobs like security+engineering would much more jumpsuit orientated. Maybe leave some dresses around that both sexes could get changed into, if a female character wishes to, or a drunk crazy male captain?

So yes/no/maybe/I don't know/could you repeat the question? :downs:

I'd actually prefer to keep the player sprites and outfits as they are.

Your sprites aren't bad or anything but the breasts are disproportionately large and the broader hips just make it look like they're inexplicably wearing jodhpurs when clothed. The issue is that if you want to stick to the same base more or less, you can't really make these sprites more feminine without exaggerating things to a weird and kind of off-putting degree. I gave it a try myself because I like to give visuals, but what I ended up with is pretty much the same as the current nude female sprite with a single pixel bitten out of the waist.

As it is I kind of like that you can't really tell whether a particular spaceman is actually a spacewoman without checking the name. I like that we have tubby little more-or-less-sexless sprites.

That said I'd actually like it if there were optional female uniforms in some of the sectors. I'm not sure how I feel about having them as the default for a female character, I think I'd prefer if there were just a few dresses in the uniform lockers (or Head lockers) along with the existing outfits. Maybe some more feminine costume outfits too, like the princess dress.

Nah, this sounds like it would fit in on TGstation.

No, we already ditched fat bodies because spiring is already too annoying.
