Mii-like Avatars?

[plopperz]

Now what would make you think that would happen?



Aside from the recent Spore CC stuff, the fact that any online game which allows you to design some part of it which others can see will be infested with penis-drawing 13-year-olds.

...and you're... 15?
Anyhow,
I'd like to think we're more mature than putting a bunch of penis' as our avatars. I can, however, see people making various additions to what ever Craig's would be.

I seriously don't think that anyone would be that childish. Well, maybe a few, but certainly no more than 100 or so people.

I don't really care whether a lot of the avatars would be childish. Most of them would not be used online anyway. (except of course it people would start to use their avatars in forums as well...)

Here's a screenshot of how avatar creation works on the Nintendo Wii (for the few people out there who have never used that system). From a programming point of view I think it would be quite easy to implement something like that in 2D. There would be a need for pixelartitsts to create the elements of course...

As far as 2D goes, someone pointed me to a fun little avatar-generator the other day. It's rather like those old paper doll things, in a way. Maybe something along those lines would be worth a look?
