it i clear that glitch is eventually going to have a pretty incredibly avatar system.
we can already get into some pretty fine detail when it comes to rearranging our noggins, and i imagine that similar polish will come to adding clothes, accessories, hats, shoes and other things that will make our avatars completely unique and stylish.
that's part of people watching, but another aspect of people watching is not simply seeing what people look like, but seeing the activities they are engaged in.
i would like to see gardeners walking around with hoes over their shoulders while they're walking around, or with watering cans out. i'd like to see bubble tuners blowing bubbles all around them, blowing into their bubble tuning devices in public. i'd like to see people riding around on bicycles or hopping around on pogo sticks. most of all, i'd like to see people flying kites with keys attached in order to collect lightning.
i understand that this is probably extremely difficult to accomplish. maybe not even worth accomplishing. it would probably require character animation for every single item in the game, which might restrict the rate at which the developers think up and create items, slowing down development.
but i think if the intent is to create a lively, entertaining world to visit, with unique activities happening all around you [other than running and jumping] that this is worth considering.
