S4D Things.

You'll all be glad to know that my S4D game will include plasticy demon people, some of whom you may already know from your nightmares.

These people are procedurally generated The Heist-style as applicants to your crazy awesome agency. A script compiles them by choosing specific traits; such as gender, race, hair color, and then chooses what sprites to portray them with.

There are 2 genders. (obviously)

- Chosen randomly with even chance.

4 races; White, Black, Hispanic, and Albino, because I like albinos, I know they aren't an actual ethnicity.

- Chosen with a chance of 3|3|2|1.

These traits determine other things, such as hair color and eye color. For instance, Blacks wont have blonde hair and blue eyes, and Albinos have white hair/pink eyes. Also, females and males have different sprite sets for everything except eyes.

Aside from genetic traits, the rest of the values are randomized; such as outfit, eye type, mouths, and hair style (because albinos with dreadlocks, fuck yes.).

Names are chosen from a list of 100 names, 50 for either gender. I'll probably add more names because single names seem to pop up multiple times, quite frequently.

The game itself is going to be an Infectinator style strategy game, where you have limited control over your own units in missions.

The rest is kinda SCP.

Yep.

:My thought process:

I'll play as Andrew- But wait. Andrew has no hair….

Then I'll be Gilbert…but he's so boring looking.

I guess I'll play as Edward then…:dissapointed:

Screw it, I'll just be Danine.

You are the person in charge.

You don't have to hire any of these people.

(I'll put one instance of short, blue hair in just for you.)

EDIT: I think I just realized why they're so creepy; they have no eyebrows.

QUICKLY! TO THE SPRITE EDITOR!

Can't wait to try my hand at domination then.

Okay I added eyebrows and re-rolled it.

Oh, the game I was actually thinking of is the second one; Infectinator 2. The first one was kinda shit.
