Interview with Lead Artist Jens Kortboyer

[Snowcrash]

In an interview with James Egan from Massively.com our very own Jens Kortboyer, Lead Artist, talks about Black Prophecy’s character creation, in particular about the numerous options you will have available during the creation process. On top of this interview we provided Massively with four exclusive screenshots that show never before seen character material.

Read the full interview on Massively and discuss it in this forum thread!

hang on a second, some genides do have a tiny bit of hair? And w00t, masks, I just love facemasks. Lovely to have even a little bit more info .
Hopefully KK does add station walking to the game in a future expansion, but i believe that might be for 2011-2012.

Nice read.
Also;

Reakktor has mentioned a "station walking" feature to be implemented after the game's launch, allowing players to interact with other characters as 3D avatars. At this point, does Reakktor still have such plans for Black Prophecy?
Yes, we still have plans to offer this feature in a future expansion but we are unable to reveal further details at this point of time.

This really can open up things, shopping in person, getting together to chat, firefights.

I'm thinking of going genides... if I can have good hair.

I would <3 to see station walking. In EvE it would make me so happy just to get out of my ship. I have no idea why... maybe I feel bad my character hasn't stretched her legs in years :P

In EvE your character is hooked up to a pod, in BP you're sitting in a ship.

Getting out of a ship in EvE and on your feet would be a more complicated process...

yeah, they would have to implent a new movement system because walking isn't flying (but i believe everyone has figured that out)

They've had plans for ages... but I always thought it was strange since the pod is the reason why you don't suffer perma-death... and you're sealed in tight.
Hopping in and out feels like it's a bit against the lore.

Nice info.
