Elder Parafolks: Screenshots and Creative Process (Patreon)

*grabs the mic*🎙 Hellooooooo everyone!

For this first week of the spooky month I, Sonia, will be your host to showcase our newest character texture: 🎊 elder skin!🎊

I gathered a lot of references of seniors from various ethnicities and ages to be able to create this skin texture. I was amazed to see the huge differences in how people age based on environment, ethnicity or genetics! That really made us think about how we can offer such uniqueness in the game.

Elder Face Texture

As I said before, there’s a huge range and variety of wrinkles and it would be a shame to miss on that! So to help you create your perfect senior, we decided to let you decide what wrinkles you want. For now we only have a few wrinkles available, but worry not, there will be more options down the line.

Here are a three of the variations you can select:

Parafolk with no additional wrinkles

Parafolk with different additional wrinkles

You’ll have a few options for various facial areas such as forehead, cheeks, mouth, eyes….And you can combine them!

Elder Body Texture

Here are some screenshots of our elder body textures:

Here is our nameless Parafolk wearing the latest elder skin texture

This is the base you’ll be working with when you want to create an elder Parafolk, but wait, there’s more!

Additional Textures

You can also choose to add skin details such as brown spots or cellulite.

Hair Recoloration

This other feature, which was shown previously, can be used to custom your elder even more to create white roots on the hair.

Advanced hair color selection in the Paramaker. Hairs will automatically turn white when growing old but then, players will be able to customize the color.

Keep in mind that the game is still a work in progress, more textures will be added and existing ones may change or be improved. We’re hoping that all these features will spark your creativity and help you to create lovely seniors for your stories ✨

On this note, I wish you all a good weekend!
