Possible New Addition for FM

An idea I've had a while, which is where when you create your manager you could have the opportunity to create your own "face" on the game. They could easily use the facegen stuff for this I feel, and choose down templates like on Character Creators on other video games (such as Face, Hair, Face Roundedness etc).

For myself I think this would be a nice addition, as a large part of why I love FM is because of the stories I can create out of the game, and I feel that it can be hard to have these stories when all you have is a black silhouette of a person, I think that if you could create the face (similar to how the players look) then it'd be a good addition.

Any thoughts?

I like it. There is a way of adding your own facegen at the moment, but it's fairly complicated. A from me.

I like it. Some may say it is gimmicky but it is a bit of fun. It could give you a few laughs or be a spitting image of you; depending on you.

Thanks, I thought it was a good idea

Yeah, I'd say it was definitely gimmicky - and sounds like it would definitely be fun.

I know what I meant

Yes, do it. Also, we should be able to build faces for real players without photos should we wish to. Facegen needs to be ACCESSIBLE instead of buried within the game.

I agree Bison

Licensing issues don't allow them to do that.

Good idea. I think it would be a saddening moment when you first noticed the wrinkles emerging though.

Regardless my second point stands. You should be able to open Facegen and play around with it. Perhaps if a regen comes through and looks moronic you should be able to "regenerate" his face (only at the beginning).

I <3 moronic regens

I imagine that might cost SI another big lump of money though.

Surely not a great deal. It is only providing us with fairly simple tools?

I wouldn't know but SI don't create the FaceGen software. So they would need to fork out on another license to use it... I think. I could be wrong though.

Oh, I see

You are quite correct. Having been on OOTPs beta team a couple years ago, we made this very suggestion. The user-controlled face creator is a seperate app, aand needs it's own license. I looked into it, and for home use alone, it was over $500 at the time...I don't know what the commercial license was/is, but if they want $500 just so I can play around with making my own faces, Lord knows what the want if you plan to redistribute it...

Having said that, OOTP has a button on a player's page that allows the user to regenerate a facegen. The user can't input any of the variables, but you can press the <blinking> button as many times as you like...
