erutan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 So... the chances of me finding myself in game seem like they could be rather slim w/o abusing the hire/fire system. Would it be possible to have options screen textfield where us lucky narcissists can paste in an alphanumeric string and have that soldier hired or show up in the pool?

This sounds absolutely brilliant. (Although I'm not opting in for the $150+ tiers myself I'll probably try to twist IceVamps arm to get his, so I can rename him into "Icevamp Redshirt" in all my games.)

erutan Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 You can't rename the custom characters. You will have to be content with having them be the first ones in doorways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 You can't rename any of the random soldiers either. All you do is change their callsign. Why wouldn't you be able to change the custom characters callsign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erutan Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Ah. I hadn't tried renaming yet, just remembered Chris writing somewhere that our custom names w/ portraits would be unalterable and assumed the randomly generated ones were not.

That is a good idea actually. We'll see if we can't work out a little something something so you can work out your fantasies about me Gorlom.

erutan Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Woot! via http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/69341191/xenonauts/posts/224998 "Finally, we're also looking at adding a "Force Soldier" option into the game, where you can enter a name in the game options and if a pre-set soldier with that name exists, they will appear in your starting squad of 12. Should ensure that anyone who has paid to go in the game will actually get to see themselves!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceVamp Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Maybe there should be up to twelve slots for this, so you can add yourself and others you know, or just rename the starting soldiers into friends, like a lot of people do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erutan Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 That way Gorlom can have an entire squad of Icevamps for his twisted fantasies~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hehe, up to 12 slots? Yeah, maybe. Everyone would be trading codes on the forum for all the Let's Plays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
