Hello I am autistic so I will clarify that this is not mean. This is something I have been thinking about for over a year? Maybe two. and I just had a nightmare about writing this so I’m doing it now. I say this as fan who wants best for game so pls don’t hate me. 

The decision to make half kits all have nonfunctioning gills. The first decision you make in the game is whether you want to be normal (human), glowy (tilari), or water breather (kitalphan). But if you pick one option you’re told you’re shit out of luck and your character’s gills are nonfunctional. 

This made me sad when I first played the game but I loved it so much I didn’t care, after all I can just headcannon. It was only when showing it to my friends that I realized this is a criticism worth bringing up. When I showed to friends they were not fans and stopped playing when they saw that. One articulated to me that it feels disrespectful of the players choice for their first choice to be made meaningless. And it became a pattern when I showed my friends. All who picked kitalphan were driven away by the non functioning gills and that’s just sad that they miss out on such a gem.

I think it would be good to consider this. I have seen how much the devs care for the game and I hope they will see this. You all do great work. 

Yeah i'm with you on this, I chose to play a kit for whole mermaid thing they had going on and it don't make much sense that half tilari glow but half kitalphan dont have working gills.

Thank you for your feedback! We've had the same feedback brought up before and can let you know that the species descriptions, interactions etc. are on our list to make improvements to and to make more meaningful, and you will see these changes reflected in the final version of the game.
