About NPC characters (Patreon)

L:

Hello everyone!

We don’t work with custom fan-characters anymore and won’t open it as a tier, as we did for 1st and 2nd chapter. It’s difficult to put a character of specific appearance and personality into the game plot, they need to be adapted and literally squeezed in the story to play their role right. We love all fan-characters we worked on, every of them is unique and interesting, it’s like a real person you communicate, but they are so bright that they can drag all attention to themselves. It’s not good for the story, where everyone has to be on their place. So we decided to never repeat this experience.

But we can suggest you another idea. Grimm and me are designing background and NPC characters to make them fit in environment and the plot. They have established appearance design and personality and their own role in tCoL plotline. They might be not very deep, especially if it’s a bg character, but some of them, like quest-giver, could have bits of essential for the environment info. Most likely we will never use them again after a specific scene, quest or when the game will end. These design will be just lost. Would you like the idea to purchase a credit for such characters? That mean you will able to work on their story, relationships and background outside the game. You will literally have references you may legally use for this character, because it will be yours.

What do you think?
