RE: Customizable Teams
At 90's id Software opened their game Doom the way user was able to swap game graphics (all of them). Modding has been common since then (for PC games).
Outwitters units seem to be animated sprites (= 2d pictures). To replace sprites with user created frames shouldn't be any harder today than it was 20 years ago. But can iOS app send those skins to another device to be rendered for opponent to view them as intended. How badly altered looks disturb playability. And how disturbing those user created sprites end up being - first ones are normally inspired from genitals. If changed graphics are viewed only by the player modding the game, then potential legal troubles diminish. If OML points out where the graphics are stored, they can be changed by user even without jail braking the iOS device. Since this hasn't been a planned feature, sprites might have been stored the way that doesn't support easy switching. Meaning plenty of work to change code that handles graphics. As much I love modding, Outwitters to me is not the game to mod. Personally I would find it disturbing to play against altered looking troops. |
