Character handedness

[Lunchmoney]

All characters are right handed. Any way to make the make the 1 in 10 (a leftie) ?

Theoretically, there could be power customization for lefty-flipped animations of existing animations, but I don't know how the animations are set up, so flipping them horizontally be as easy as flipping a switch, or may require rebuilding it from the ground up, for what is ultimately a relatively minor aesthetic change, which would then have to be proliferated across almost every attack, support, manipulation or control set (plus Shield Defense), and unless somebody wanted to volunteer for that, I don't think it'd be something that the devs would likely prioritize.

 

Believe me, I would like to have a "handedness" switch for my character, too, but this is one of those things where the sheer amount of little things that would have to be rewritten may make it prohibitive, because it wasn't considered during the original development and we're 24-ish issues in with a volunteer dev team.

I believe that Katana sets use the left-hand, that's why you can't use it with Shield Defense.

Yep Katana is left handed.

 

I recall this getting requested a few times back on live and the response from the old devs is that they would basically have to completely remake all the animations, just mirrored. Basically too much work for what would amount to a minor feature.
