d3v1n96 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 It has long been suggested that each character gets their own effigy art (and wx-78 should probably have a gear effigy unless he is a man in a robot suit). At one point I believe that it was being considered but was decided against do to the fact that that time could be put into producing new content. As much as I love new content and long for a new spice to the don't starve experience I still would appreciate time being taken to make individual effigies, who's with me?

whackthecat Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yeah, I'd like to see everyone have a different effigy and their own dialogue about it. WX's gear effigy I think would be a good addition but since the meat effigy's require beard hair, what would replace that for WX's?

Gangstamonkey214 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think they should keep the meat effigy recipe universal as it is now, and just change the visuals since just changing how something looks is easier than changing the recipe, testing to see if what you changed it with is balanced etc Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/31292-to-each-their-own-effigy/#findComment-410889 Share on other sites More sharing options...

"So you wanted to try out that guy people are always calling overpowered? Well you've got your 400 health, go use it." More incentive to get into the Ruins is rarely a bad thing, as I see it; especially considering you'd be playing as the snowballing powerhouse that is WX-78.

Battal Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The meat effigy should be shaped like a generic humanoid figure, boom it's universal.An effigy is supposed to be a copy of someone, kinda like a statue or a voodoo doll. Making it just a general humanoid figure would, in theory, spawn a featureless Slendery guy. Which is why meat effigies should be textured to the ones making them. Science!

Ridley Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The science machines store every thought of how to build a invention when that invention has been created. This is how Wolfgang is building complex supernatural weapons when he doesn't even like science. Normally these sciences machines existed so Maxwell could keep from forgetting how to build important structures, but since Wilson invented the Meat Effigy his thoughts act as blueprints. All the characters use his blue print thoughts so this is why they don't know who the Effigy is supposed to resemble. Different effigies would be cool and I am not against it, but I believe this is the reason it has been changed per popular community desire.

jbeetle Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm neutral about the idea. I l'd love for it to happen, but I wouldn't really be that excited about it if it didn't. It doesn't mean much to me. It won't change how I play or how I perceive the game.

Making it just a general humanoid figure would, in theory, spawn a featureless Slendery guy. Which is why meat effigies should be textured to the ones making them. Science! By that logic, everyone who used it would look like Wilson at the moment. Besides, I don't think that's one of their primary concerns.

23rd Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I've seen this topic come up an obscene amount of times, in any case.

oCrapaCreeper Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I believe it's been said that it's simply too much artwork to do right now.

Eblanc Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 either way is good for me, unique effingies would be cool, if they wante wx-78 to have custon recipes, id suggest 2 gears, 1 or 2 frizzled wires and perhaps, hair?not that difficult.
