We're slowly adding most of them back in! The plan is to add customization options through R&D rewards or exploration loot, to give them a story purpose and show Asterion's reaction to getting each of them. For example, the bell asset had been sitting in the game files for a while, but we decided to make a dedicated scene for it that explains it's a memento of a previous master Asterion remembers fondly. We plan on doing that for most of the assets.

Some of them won't make the cut, though. A lot of these assets were made on October 2019, between the first and second builds (the first build cuts off right after the fireplace scene where the player chooses Kota or Luke), and we were basing the story off an original draft that took itself less seriously and had Minoanon roll with random ideas from very horny anons. So there are suggestions like torn handcuffs that don't really gel with the current tone that I don't think we'll end up using.

As for nipple customization options, Asterion is just not ready for that. Yet.

The highland bangs are definitely going in, everyone on the dev team fucking loves them (though I'm not happy with the current asset, I'll have to redraw it). We haven't implemented it yet because we were waiting for Oscar to join the hotel as proper staff, so the player character can get the idea from him. A kilt would look rad, too.

As for headwear like hats or paper crowns... we have one small complication, which is that Asterion's horns will be customized too, so the horns would have to be split into a front and back layer to put a hat in the middle. Same for the horn accessory layer. I'd say it's a little tedious but might be worth doing in the long run. I could try it.

Right on! Yeah I feel that they're a lot more meaningful with giving a little story that sparks their creation, so I totally approve of that. And to be honest, turning down the horny makes a lot of sense, too. 

Hah, it's fair he's not ready for anything nipple related this build if you're looking for v0.5.2 ideas specifically, just had to make it known. 😉

Interesting point on the layers, yeah I can't blame you for not wanting to do that rework since you already had to do all the other sprite rework for Asterion. And I assume anything with a brim requires extra work with the angry and shocked sprites having a bit of a different perspective, really only this matching paper crown or a headband wouldn't require that extra work probably.
If you do decide to put in the work for hats, other obvious choices I see are a trucker cap (both forwards and backwards) and some sort of cowboy hat, though naturally the latter needs to have Luke throwing in a comment upon getting it, haha. 

Oh and the last thing I have for now, you could always throw in a Boomer's Big Date reference, haha. His classic motorcycle shirt or maybe the work overalls. Would be easy to explain with a garage addition to the hotel I suppose.
