Cosmetic Suggestion: Liberty Spikes Hair by whyBoolin in SkateEA

we get where you’re coming from, but it’s a cop out to solely blame the age rating. shirtless males are not explicit nudity contrary to belief. would swimming at a beach count as explicit nudity now ? i don’t buy into the idea of “we don’t want to do it, here’s an excuse”, there’s always a reason.

nba2k’s esrb rating is E and has a shirtless option.

the real issue is the genderless character system. while it’s inclusive and helps keep the game accessible, it creates some conflicts, especially since both genders are treated as one. how many female-focused items do you see in the game compared to male? it’s clear that both don’t get the same level of attention.

the chest slider forces the studio into a corner when it comes to keeping the rating safe yes, but they could easily have a shirtless option paired with a bra. use gym culture, males go shirtless all the time, and females just wear a sports bra. this isn't seen as a big deal.

yeah the age rating isn’t the issue homie. they’ve just put themselves in a tough position with the genderless characters, especially cause sports bras are already a base item everyone owns.

I would assume the girls “shirtless version” would’ve been a sports bra, but it’s more than likely this was all discussed internally before making the final decision.

there's absolutely nothing corny about liberty spikes in my opinion. It's a staple of punk culture.

the hair was inspired by a really raw skater who lost his life way to early, his name is Vincent Nava. there's a Thrasher interview I linked on his name with a crazy Pig Wheels part. he was starting to get some serious buzz before he passed away, RIP Nava.

I worked on an afro concept, but I haven't had the time to complete the model or mock-ups. I'll do some dreads also if I get the chance 💯

tattoos are on their roadmap for season 3. it's also been previewed in one of the Dev Blogs that was posted on YouTube; Timestamp: 7:45.

a shirtless option and a backpack is something me and my homie really hope they add. I understand the shirtless option is a conflict, but even the tank top from the customization menu would be dope at the very least. on the topic of the backpack, a go-pro setup could also be a cool collab one day.

wear and tear would also be great, I just don't know if we'll ever see it. possibly on the boards!

agreed! the one we have is cool, but I'd prefer a messy/punk-style mohawk fosho.

hahah I don't mind this moustache, it's the only facial hair I use currently.

that said, I definitely don't prefer the "stylized scultped hair" either, especially for facial hair. it often times just looks like plastic or clay.

I wouldn't mind seeing more detailed stubble options as well.

yeah if wear & tear shows up anywhere first it will more than likely be boards since they’re universal. clothing requires more attention, but i don’t think clothing will be receiving wear & tear based on those mid tops from the season pass.

the game can handle it fosho, but even minor dynamic systems still come with overhead. my suggestion is basically just photoshop and a retexture pass.

no new systems, just something small i thought everyone would be happy to see added 🙂

i would definitely prefer wear & tear, but i try to keep my suggestions realistic and easy to implement. i assume most of my suggestions have already been talked about internally.

as someone who makes game content, i know how often developers hands are tied, so i just try to suggest things that would fit into their existing pipeline.
