For my modular psx style character, I used a different material slot for every item on the character, so its very easy to make character and equipment variations.
This works much better for me than a single texture atlas.

Been working on a PSX style modular fantasy character pack. You can combine any armor, clothing, or accessory to customize your character and its already rigged! This preview scene is in Godot.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

GAMEDEV EASY MODE
Character levitates off the ground, the air crackles around them. Magic suddenly erupts from their eyes, the pulsating beam hits a distant tower which explodes in an suitable cinematic way.

GAMEDEV HARD MODE
Character kicks their slippers off & picks up their phone from the table.

That "indie" is where innovation happens generally isn't true anymore. We iterate to breakthroughs. At large, indie is more risk-averse & homogenous than it's been - publishers gatekeep, focus on graphics, and balloon budgets. Innovation comes from self-published games launching their practice game.

Why does 'finding the fun' fail so often as a design strategy?
#gamedesign

New designers are told to prototype and 'find the fun'. But the naive version of this is a garbage tactic that mostly results in poorly thought out prototypes that are never going to converge on gameplay.
