Community-inspired skin set


Recommended Posts

Been thinking about it for a while now, and I know it's probably been suggested before, but at this point, what's the risk in a little "gather 'round kids! Grab your smart hats and a pencil!" event for a few community-inspired cosmetics for certain items / characters / etc.

I've personally pictured it as the following: Klei could either give us a topic and have our imagination peak at its highest OR they could select us specific things, and have the community submit their works regarding XYZ. Winners, of course, would get selected and end up being added in-game. However, now that I am thinking about it, instead of that being a simple: Go to shop and grab the "community work" chest for skins, I've been thinking more of a shop, where each week a rotation system would add in new winner skins from the event (see following picture). To top it all, while the community shop items could be acquired for spools, I think an option to support Klei for hosting the event afterwards would be an amazing thing regardless 

 

And to top it all, wouldn't be amazing to have fellow musical artists design a custom song for the community shop? I'd kill, to hear how harmonious fellow Don't Starvers can fiddle with some classic 'ole instruments!

Last but not least, I think in the end, it would be amazing to have all the participants mentioned in a huuuuuge post (with their submission attached to their name) for even as a contest, point in that is to have fun and shake hands with others!

so yes, i do hope something like that will happen, some sort of comunity made ideas event

If there was some kind of way for us to suggest skin designs to be put into the game, I would absolutely love that!

Could make for a really interesting set of ideas and skins.

I could personally see a sort of steampunk inspired skin set working really well.

I think the butcher hook drying rack skin was suggested by @Dr. Safety so he won that contest before it even happened. I'm so proud of him.

Unless I'm misremembering, in which case I'm not proud at all.

Correct, and thank you for remembering! I originally suggested it to come with Warly's rework. It's my proudest achievement regarding this game lol

I suggested a few times, on this forum, that a Black Cat skin for the kittykit would make a great Halloween addition.

And then we got one.

For Hallowed Nights.

I'm not saying it IS because of me, 'cos it's a pretty obvious idea that a dev could also have come up with on their own, BUT...

...I'm also not saying it isn't.  :)
(because I'm honestly not sure.  : P)

Edit:  Also, all your skin-idea drawings are gorgeous, Minespatch.  I like them all, but as a fan of the series since I was a kid, I gotta vote for the "Dragon Quest" ones are my favourites.  :)

Now you just gotta use your magic to make them give Warly's cookware skins :wilson_cry:

I want a thelucite mace! Turn that darn club into a mace! I want to wield a mace. It doesn't needs to be a complex skin, I just want the illusion of a variety of weapons without there being any difference between them. 

You can already wield a mace, the morning star is literally a mace

I meant this kind of mace

The handle should look like living logs, it would fit very well. While this is badly drawn it generally represents what I envision.

(Eyebrella)

(Could have done it better with planning, but oh well. Just pretend it's smaller)

I am legitimately surprised we didn't get that. Maybe they also thought of it but decided against it because it's making a boss drop look like a different boss, which could maybe confuse someone.
