Demigod Customization

No, not just abilities...

from Demigod Forums

I think that it would be nice if players were able to customize their demigod in some way or another. By this, I mean that before a match, a player should be able to choose a secondary color to appear on their demigod (such as a colored stripe, or a colored aura surrounding the demigod), or a small avatar to appear next to his/her name when messages appear on the screen (example: Mackinator :banhammer:  is WRATHFUL). Adding these aesthetical customization options would be nice in that it wouldn't seem like you were fighting a clone of yourself if you are against another demigod of the same type. Also, the small avatar thing would be a nice identifier to show you if you are the person described in a message, without having to really read it (example: I hear the computer say "wrathful," I see my avatar, I know I'm wrathful). Avatars could be part of a large, pre-made cache, partially customizable like Halo's, or imported, depending on which one would work best for this game.

Avatars would be a good idea for the whole community as well, where you use it for playing in groups/guilds, as well as being able to recognize friends when the come online immediately. (see Steam accounts). Customizing colors on Demigods is fine especially because you'll be able to tell the difference between two Rooks. However I would demand that all color schemes are pre-made by the Devs so that we don't have pink polka-dotted Rooks running around.

Of course. If players were able to use totally custom paint, certain color schemes (like that) would get old and annoying very quickly.

Actually one of the cooler things are banners and standards.

Check it out: Adding cloth-banners (they don't have to have correct physics no :) ) to the stronghold, the shoulders of the rook and the mantle of the other characters would be a nice touch.

Or, during the loading screen, display the two teams logos to the left and right of the VS sign perhaps?

Even if it was something as simple as SoaSE's logo selction screen.  I haven't gotten an exact count, but there are easily 750,000,000,000 to chose from in that game.

Seriously?  There are 42 different symbols and 10 colors to choose from for each.  If nothing else, I'd think that would be a good number of banners or what not to choose from in Demigod.

right.. colors aren't really new symbols.

 

Anyways i would like to see some glowing weapons and stuff like on some artifacts :P

Anyone notice how Rooks fist and hammer start to glow gold? o_O  I like that stuff :x

Well the whole point is a combinations. Having a lone wolf with a black background is a totally different thing than a lone wolf with a pink background.

I like the Idea of glowey stuff especially if they're from items. If you can tell what that person has equipped from a ball circling them you can react differently. It Adds another level to item tactics.
