(I call it a nice rant, because I am not really angry, just a bit frustrated)
OK, I am going to rant here for a few minutes. I don't mean any disrespect with this, it is just me venting my frustration.
I had a friend recently want to show me a skin shop she "found" (I had already known about it). They had some new skins, so I figured I would get some demo's just to look them over.
I happen to love my current skin, but even that designer has a new one out, so I decided to get a demo of that one also..just for some fun comparisons.
Here is my complaint. I collect the demo's of these new skins. They appear in a folder in my inventory. I look in the folders and they have the "name" of the skin, and usually some number reference. There is no way for me to know what demo skin is what. I have to try them all on to find the one that I saw in the store.
Granted, I am kinda picky on my facial features (I am partial to beards), and I would probably end up trying them all on at some point, but it would be REALLY helpful if there was textures included in the demo pack showing each face, and the name of the skin in the folder that matches it.
Guys are not big shoppers, and when we have to sort through things over and over because we are not sure which one is which, we get VERY frustrated. I really makes us NOT want to buy a new skin at all, because it is just too frustrating. Woman have a memory geared for this kind of thing, men do not.
Here is my suggestion, if anybody cares to take it. In each demo folder, have a texture that is a mosaic of all the skins included, probably just the face shots like you have at your store. This may be harder than I think given the limits of texture sizes, but maybe not. On each picture, have a way to identify each skin, so I can look at at the folder, and see exactly what skin matches with the pictures. I personally would also include a close-up shot of each one, so we can see it in the picture better, but the mosaic is key, because we can sort through them nice and easily to find the skin we saw in the shop, and try it on.
Personally, I think that each group should include all the skin tones, but that might be being a bit too picky. If a mosaic is included in each demo pack, its not hard to get each tones demo pack, and look to see which one I want to try on, and then do it.
Outside of that, I am soo happy that men's skins have been improving so much. Cudo's to the creators who are amazingly talented, and are devoting their time and energy into creating these fantastic skins!
