d3v1n96 107 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 14 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spinorex 376 Posted January 31, 2014 Frazzled Wires.Wouldn't that be a bit too cruel? They're not the most common of objects after all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gangstamonkey214 72 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
23rd 765 Posted January 31, 2014 Wouldn't that be a bit too cruel? They're not the most common of objects after all...I think it's just cruel enough. "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.

Cynical Cynicist 322 Posted January 31, 2014 The meat effigy should be shaped like a generic humanoid figure, boom it's universal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Battal 9,884 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 609 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Percival 766 Posted January 31, 2014 An effigy is supposed to be a copy of someone, kinda like a statue or a voodoo doll. Did someone say VOODOO DOLL? On-topic: While it wouldn't really do much in terms of gameplay, I would like this aesthetic feature to be added soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbeetle 1,872 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. They'd have to devote artist's time, effort, money, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MilleniumCount 2,160 Posted February 1, 2014 Jup, wanted that ages ago! ^^Still want. But of course this is no priority task, so I can live without it. But it would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
23rd 765 Posted February 1, 2014 I've seen this topic come up an obscene amount of times, in any case. It's something I think Klei should keep in mind if it's ever simple enough to just throw into some larger blob of content. The community really wants this.

oCrapaCreeper 3,093 Posted February 1, 2014 I believe it's been said that it's simply too much artwork to do right now. Plus Klei would have to keep doing it again every time they add a new character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eblanc 0 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoneyHam 435 Posted February 4, 2014 Either make them character specific or when you use one.....YOU TURN IN TO WILSON!!!! MWAAAAHAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAAA!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MycoLogical 1,070 Posted February 4, 2014 Yes and yes. Either: They all get a unique one each or They all get a generic They should share Wilsons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MilleniumCount 2,160 Posted February 4, 2014 Perhaps could do it by putting beard hair on the skeletons that you find...I really like that. Using the existing skeleton as a base for resurrection, adding meat and hair to finish it and the wood for the outer shell.And another way to encourage exploring, as to find opportunities to ressurect. Yes, good idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
