# MVP Character Proxies
|
|
|
|
The 0.1.O investor visual pass introduces first playable character proxies for
|
|
the startup character selection flow. These are not final production humans;
|
|
they are practical, human-scale stand-ins that remove the single default dummy
|
|
presentation while the final realistic character art pipeline is still pending.
|
|
|
|
## Current Proxies
|
|
|
|
- Young adult male:
|
|
`/Game/Characters/Mannequins/Meshes/SKM_Manny_Simple`
|
|
- Young adult female:
|
|
`/Game/Characters/Mannequins/Meshes/SKM_Quinn_Simple`
|
|
- Male workwear material:
|
|
`/Game/Agrarian/Characters/Materials/M_AGR_CharacterProxy_Workwear_Male`
|
|
- Female workwear material:
|
|
`/Game/Agrarian/Characters/Materials/M_AGR_CharacterProxy_Workwear_Female`
|
|
|
|
The materials use muted earth-tone workwear colors so the character reads as an
|
|
Agrarian survivor/pioneer proxy instead of an untouched template dummy.
|
|
|
|
## Runtime Flow
|
|
|
|
The MVP frontend stores the selected young-adult archetype. When the loading
|
|
segment closes, it issues `AgrarianSelectCharacter male` or
|
|
`AgrarianSelectCharacter female`. The player controller records the selected
|
|
proxy and applies the matching mesh/material to the possessed Agrarian player
|
|
character.
|
|
|
|
The character asset folder is always cooked for investor builds so both proxy
|
|
materials remain available in packaged clients.
|
|
|
|
## Replacement Path
|
|
|
|
Final character work should replace these proxies with grounded realistic human
|
|
assets, production clothing, age/condition variation, and replication/persistence
|
|
of visual state. The current C++ selection path is intentionally simple so final
|
|
assets can slot into the same male/female archetype switch without reworking the
|
|
menu flow.
