[GDN] Character customization affects the way the character plays. Can you give me some background on that and some examples?
[AW Frogster] From the start, the way you design your character (your height, weight etc.) has a direct effect on your character’s stats. So it is a good idea to focus on the skills that fit your character’s position. A forward should be fast and have excellent skills when it comes to scoring goals. Defensive skills on the other hand can be easily ignored.
But the stat-customization only starts with the character-creation.
You will get many more possibilities to dress and equip your character, when you enter the item shop later on. And when you have found the piece of equipment you really like, you are able to adjust the bonuses according to your player class. The possibilities are endless here.
[GDN] How many customizable features are there on each player in Kickster? Is it based on items of clothing like hat, shirt, pants, shoes, etc?
[AW Frogster] Overall you can change anything from hair to clothing and shoes. You even can wear tattoos, gloves, shades and helmets. As mentioned before, most items have additional stats, making you run faster or be more precise when passing or when shooting at the goal. But customization does not stop with the items you obtain. In the skill shop, you can acquire new special skills to develop your player in a unique direction. Bicycle kicks, scissors, tackles and straddles – everything from offensive to defensive skills can be obtained in the shop.
[GDN] What’s the average length of a match?
[AW Frogster] A match lasts always two minutes. In case it ends in a draw, there is overtime and finally there will be a golden goal system, similar to sudden death.
