took some time off playing empyrion and while playing some other games noticed empyrion's char's do not run.. they only glide over the surfaces. how about add some real running animation.. you know, the slight up and downs of running, maybe toss in a little heavier breathing when you've been sprinting awhile? very immersion breaking as is.
The Chars are only Place Holders Or did you really think those awkward looking Avatars in the Char Creation will stay that way? But nothing is more complex in a Game than the Animation, the correct Animation, of Characters. So it may take some time until the Devs come up with new Ones.
I tried to have a look but the third person camera controls is too sluggish and laggy to notice. Maybe that's the idea! (joke intended)
