Player Customization Is Hand-Animated Across Eight Directions
Customization assets are built to support the game's multi-directional pixel animation.
What the official update confirms
The developer says each wearable may require animation in up to eight directions. Individual wearable work can span more than 70 sprite sheets and over 400 triggered animations for actions and reactions.
What this changes for players
This explains why the confirmed launch customization set is finite but highly animated. Hair, clothing, kisses, exhaustion, and murder reactions need consistent directional artwork.
What is not confirmed
The update does not provide an animation viewer, frame counts for every action, mod support, or a promise that all cosmetic combinations behave identically.
