🎨 [COMPETITION] Get Your Body Paint Featured in Boundless!

[Goblinounours]

@DKPuncherello

You don’t think georgio’s skeleton would be better without a diaper?

I do

Might be wrong, but I would imagine that Wonderstruck could potentially get in trouble if their game-characters were discovered to be naked.

Same as how in WoW, your toon has to have underwears, and they don’t allow you to hide your pants, while they allow you to hide everything else. There’s some kind of ruleset about these things.

Some parents would likely get mad at the devs if their kids play a game where they saw that characters who seemingly have human-like junks can remove their underwears. The pictures of bodypaints you posted was flagged for more than the reason you thought. One of them was that it suggested too much.

@Jaidic Might be wrong there, but I would imagine the devs would get into trouble if they published a skin like that in the exchange without the consent of the owners of the heroes. XD

[Jaidic]

It is fun making these, i know these wont get picked, but me or anyone who wants them can install and run around looking however they want. I can edit local files to look however I want, even M+ rating just dont have to share it

@Goblinounours

characters who seemingly have human-like junks

Ah, but how do you know? Citizens might not have any junk under there.

I always thought that they have pants and bras merely to satisfy the people with too little imagination to be able to view a Citizen as it’s own thing and were only capable of viewing them in traditional gender roles.

[Goblinounours]

I don’t know, hence the use of the word “seemingly”.

The rest of my message is there to insist on that point too : it’s possible that the bras/diapers are only here to avoid some people getting offended.

Point is : I wouldn’t hold my breath for an option to hide the bras/diapers, not until they can be replaced with actual clothing/armor.

@Goblinounours

Instead of bodypaints made to look like shirts/pants/armors, I’d rather wait for Wonderstruck to just make actual armors and clothing. ^^
I don’t think these clothing-bodypaints have any chances of winning the contest, realistically speaking (because they are not bodypaints, in essence).

Strangely, the clothing paint designs people are submitting are my favourites!! And of the three I (poorly) designed my clothing one got the most likes!

But the devs are picking the winners, and the more variety the better imo!

[Goblinounours]

Again, to me this is nothing but a STRONG indication that people want clothing and armor to be added to the game.
And I would agree with that feeling.

Though my priority will still be on furniture. I will eject saliva everywhere when they announce a big juicy furniture update, turning myself into an organic sewer pipe.

EDIT :
Here’s a work-in-progress of my latest bodypaint :

Lot of work to be done, the back texture is surprisingly squished compared to the UV.
The bra hides a word, so I will also have to move stuff around.

[Stretchious]

I have to say, I’m with @Goblinounours on this one. As much as I like the designs and effort that has gone into them (and I like that others like the clothing ones), I would hate for these to be a poor substitute for actual clothing in the game. If any of the clothing ones actually get picked, I would then be concerned that armour and other craftable clothing would never make it into the game.

For me, body paint should be just that - like a tattoo (but without the change of ESRB rating), not painted on clothes. I’d much rather have actual craftable clothing for clothes.

My absolute favourite so far has to be the tribal paint by @Apt as I can see clothing/armour fitting over the top of it and it still being relevant / visible.

@Apt

[Goblinounours]

Agreed, if Apt’s design gets picked, I might take it.

[Goblinounours]

Maybe it could use more stuff, but I think it’s fine as it is.

And here’s the texture :

Come on now, I’m pretty certain no one ever said body paints would replace any future content like character clothing, etc.

@ Everyone has different tastes. Lots of great designs to choose from here. If someone doesn’t like a particular design or style, no need to put it down - just push the ones you do like.

@Leahlemoncakes

The only limit is your imagination!

So far a few of my personal favs are the Tron one, cherry blossoms & the dapper ones with suits/ties/bowties. I think it would be fun to see those running around in-game and on social media.

Correct. I simply expressed my concerns over the use of painted clothing becoming the norm over actual in game craftable clothing, so please do not try and change the context of what I wrote.

I’m certainly not against fun in any way. As much as I’ve enjoyed seeing the things people have come up with as a clothing substitute, I personally do not see the point of painted clothes as it detracts from actual clothing, for me - my personal opinion.

@Stretchious

I doubt the devs would toss future content, as I expressed, in favor of some fun paints that people submitted on this forum.

If & when more 3D clothing/armor is added, any current body paints might be completely covered up anyway.

I have strong concerns as well about some of the designs for other reasons, but I’ll keep those to myself since posting a design here doesn’t guarantee anyone that it will be added in-game. There’s no harm in being creative & posting a design.

[FireAngelDth]

I was hoping @georgegroeg would indulge my request of cherry blossom tree i mentioned to him

I was thinking of one like this

So like either the tree on the back and petals on the front or the tree on left/right half and petals “flowing” on the opposite side

[the-moebius]

i would call it the spraypainter bodypaint lol

While I love the ideas, I do agree this might become an issue if any of these are selected and we get “clothing” at some point because I could easily see some people complaining that they spent Cubits on a “suit skin” but now have the ability to craft or buy that in a different form now.

I’d much prefer those clothing type submissions to be saved and used as inspiration for our first generation of craftable clothing options. I’d have no problem having a clothing set called “Georgegreog’s Slick Tuxedo” after his suggestion here.

@majorvex

Cherry Blossoms (bottom right color theme example with Bright Red = classic Cherry Blossom look)

Looks like Vex got you covered @Bethlehem

I want this one so, so much too - absolutely perfect, my Citizens NEED this!! Love it so much!!

Absolutely wonderful work by everybody, really incredible talent here, can’t say that enough! It would be so hard for me if I were voting… I’d just be like, add 'em all, more the merrier! Hard to even narrow down… would definitely want @georgegroeg’s skeleton paint and others as well, epic stuff there, but just so many other awesome ones here as well!

@Xaldafax

This was a fun thing to engage the community - it seems like a lot of people have stopped posting now. I don’t think it’s right for a few players to decide that 1/2 of the designs aren’t valid. Let people have fun - they aren’t causing any harm.

[Stretchious]

Definitely a fun thing for everyone to engage in - keep submitting everyone!

That said, everyone is entitled to an opinion and disagreeing with each other is absolutely fine. It’s also fine for players to express likes or dislikes over submitted styles/designs or state which designs they would or would not spend cubits on.

Also, keep in mind that the game is rated 7+, so please keep that in mind when posting.

I know you guys don’t mean it this way but this is a “post submissions for a contest” thread. Let’s try to keep it to contest submissions so people don’t feel like they’re being you’re negging them - which I’m sure isn’t the intent.

If people want to debate whether clothing-like paint should be in the game (a valid discussion) maybe it should be a separate thread.

I’ll make a thread for it

If players cannot express a concern or negative opinion without it having to be in its own topic then there is a real problem.
