First Descendants look fire! I might get the game once I build my gaming PC... which has to wait until I have a PhD, hahaha.

I've been following Wuthering Waves since the release of the first trailer many years ago, and I'm still eager for future updates. After reading the interview, I'd like to share my thoughts on a specific aspect of the game. I believe that the creative and art direction of the game could be improved. The 1.0 map and structures, as well as the environmental design of the old assets, are based on CBT1. Although they tell a story, some parts of the overworld environment don't align with the current world settings. For example, Jinzhou is meant to be a thousand-year-old city, yet it looks new and lacks the ancient architectural background we expect to see. The current character design is decent but lacks distinctive points of interest, eye-catching detail, or significant details on their bodies. Kuro's black and white base clothes have been overused since PGR. In my opinion, the issue with the clothing design in WW is that the style lines on their clothing are too simple, with minimalistic designs. Each character's clothing seems to have straight style lines from head to toe, lacking distinctive details that could enhance their unique designs. My suggestion is to increase the variation in hair color, hairstyle, pattern design, and the use of different fabric designs in one character. Adding different types of collars, and ruffles, and using geometrical shapes or asymmetrical designs could enhance the post-apocalyptic vibe of the game. The character models are detailed but lack standout characteristics or accessories to express their unique designs and backgrounds based on their character designs. Another significant consideration is the Tacet Mark, which is sometimes nearly covered and does not look special, although the Resonators are meant to be special in Wuthering Waves' settings and this Mark represents their power. While not an artist or fashion designer, I'm just a big fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, and I enjoy using references to create my own original characters. The music in the current version of the game has surprisingly improved from 1.0. This is a positive sign for the developers, and they should continue working with professional musicians to maintain this progress.

@@TarentiniMG Thank you for the well thought out comment. I’ll respond in kind later today. 😁🙏🏽

Great comment! Have you voiced this somewhere else? I think it'd be fantastic if the developers read it. c:

@@MagisterialVoyager Not yet, I'd want to finalize my thoughts about the suggestions and the ideas that I have, And sharing the ideas with others could bring a better result because as you can see on Twitter or KZbin it's rare to see CC or anyone comment on the character design and provide the information or suggestion on their current design. They only said they liked the character or not, no further constructive information for improvement. Why? Because the character design in WW from 1.0 to 1.2 did not have the impact draws people's attention to liking the design or talking about it in detail. Also, I'm not sure where to send the feedback to the devs team. When I came back and looked at my comment and realized, that the Tacet Mark should be included in the fashion and character design's motif not just randomly appearing on their body and being covered, For example making the clothes cutout the exposing the Tacet Mark, like a star-shaped frame or the glove cutout in the same pattern to enhance the visibility. The lack of Gold trim color or accessories makes the character look bland and dull, but in the settings, it's clear that gold is expensive in this world, and only the Officer or someone with authority will have the gold trim dress. I think they should think about this later. They should also try to use modern-day fashion mixed with traditional dress, and animal motive for patterns or accessories. Not just everything is Sci-Fi black and white outfits with random Sci-Fi line patterns on their clothes. Most of the minor details patterns on WW follow the curve and wave motif, There aren't any characters with spiky or pointy details. The fabric of the clothes, the suit's collar, and the edges of the clothes are poorly designed as they hug the character too tightly. For example, Yuanwu's dress is just a man in a suit but his layer of fashion is hugged to his back and his body shows no depth on his belts or his jacket when it should fan out to give the dress layers and a more interesting look.

@@TarentiniMG Another CC I talked to here said he sent about 2000 words recommendation in the last 1.0 in-game feedback, so I'd say that's an official avenue for that. I personally have a list of input I ready to copy paste to 1.1 feedback! I'd go emailing them, posting this on Reddit, and here is a start, since we know that Kuro is noticing Life. c:

@@TarentiniMG Some female CC talks deeply about the designs, BTW, but I get if it isn't picked up as much as the general (usually male CC) "We like this char!"
