Boobs were meant to hide the lack of legs?
I came across a youtube comment saying that the developers made the breasts as large as they are as a means of hiding the facts that player didn't have a lower half. Is this true? I mean it is a logical explanation but I haven't been able to find anything substantiating it.

Re: Boobs were meant to hide the lack of legs?
Welcome to TresCom!
I haven't heard that before. I would guess no, as it was rare for the time to make legs for a player character, not to mention having to make "animation" for the player model (which the game didn't even use for the AI).
Even for me as a male, with a small bigger stomage don't really see my legs or feet if I stand and just look down, so in a way I guess it make sense. However, the fact that the player has no shadow is because you don't have a lower half

Well, I'm not sure there's an official document or interview to verify that, but it's the currently accepted hypothesis...

Welcome I've read that several times, but can't remember if I've ever seen a developer comment and confirm.HackFraud wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 10:53 pm I came across a youtube comment saying that the developers made the breasts as large as they are as a means of hiding the facts that player didn't have a lower half.

Re: Boobs were meant to hide the lack of legs?
I do understand its not very common in most games to show the players legs, but I do find it plausible that they would try and hide that fact for this game as a means of immersion.tatu wrote: ↑Thu Apr 06, 2023 3:25 am Welcome to TresCom!

I guess so then. And it does go well than just having a floating arm!
In a way it is funny when people get excited (at least in the past) when the player could actually look down and see their feet.

Speaking just for myself, I'd rather look at a pair of boobs (even if they are fake) that feet anyways!

Next up! A Trespasser character models where the health is on the toenails. The more damage you get, the more colours they get

Eh, I don't mind how it ended up, either. Wasn't her chest much more modest in the earliest builds, though? I seem to remember a model with the black shirt?

Cool Can those be easily implemented into retail, or would it have to be changed for each level?Rebel wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:51 pm Link: https://www.trescomforum.org/viewtopic. ... ne#p118948

Hey Hilwo. The main issue with Anne's other models is that they don't have all necessary $models, so she can't holdHilwo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 7:14 pmCool Can those be easily implemented into retail, or would it have to be changed for each level?Rebel wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:51 pm Link: https://www.trescomforum.org/viewtopic. ... ne#p118948

everything correctly. And yah, you would have to change each Anne model in every level if you were to use them in
the retail.

Thanks Knowing Trespasser, I didn't think it was going to be that easy

Re: Boobs were meant to hide the lack of legs?
I'd say they might have thought of the breasts as hiding the feat, during some discussions. Also it's too bad they didn't implement a shadow model as with the Dinosaurs. I guess they might've if they had more time.
