Custom detailing: Applying your own textures ontop of the mechs, E.g. Paintjob.


I would go for the style, Adding the Shark mouth to the front of my mech.

I would love to see that kind of detail customization being implemented. Little details that would allow you to customize your mech without ruining the overall look of the game.

And I'll just quote myself:

I would try to design Alien glyphs to put on my mech.

The more I have thought about this, the more I would like it.

It could be a sort of "Minecraft skin" system. Where you upload the decal to the hawken servers or somewhere. And it's applied to your mech. There would be restrictions of course but it would be awesome. Would definitely go a long way in terms of customisation and clans. Mechs would feel as if they were ours and more personal.

Yep, people can be very creative even with a very simple editor.

If it was possible, I'd make Megas XLR.

The artists have been working on decals and paint schemes for customization, but it's unlikely you'll be able to create your own from scratch.  As other games such as Spore have taught us, that would quickly lead to a sea of penises...or worse.

:lol:

well, under those circumstances hawken would start to attract the Zone of the Enders fans now wouldn't it?

P.S.

DEAR SANTA, PLEASE LET ONE OF THE DECALS BE THE FIGHTER PLANE SHARK MOUTH

What if a player comes up with a nice decal/paint design would it be possible to implement it in the game with the approval of the dev's?

Maybe in the future you guys can come up with some contests where the players can submit their own designs and the best ones would be implemented on the game as a reward.

Hahahahah, glad to hear your humor about it.

Any thoughts of taking submissions from the community? Put out image format requirements and a couple examples and I'd be happy to generate art for you guys. Heck, just make an official thread on the forums and you could just pick and choose from it.

I would support that.
