The create a character mode of this game is one of the best that I have ever seen. I literally spent hours creating one character the first time I tried it. It has no gameplay but it is still fun.
i agree, customization both of characters and clothing is massive.
Just felt I should chime in here a bit.
I was a paying customer on that site for a while, around the time when the villa 2 came out. on and off after that. But with that sort of game, the gameplay got monotonous fast and new content rate from the developers slowed almost to a halt. Sometimes when they updated content it was mere recolourings of existing dresses or clothes. and everytime, to unlock the new content you had to pay with an in game currency.
What happened later on is they released a sequence editor(for making stories or movies), pose editor and a guide to making custom skins, and the game became interesting again, but only because of the community generated content. In my opinion, maybe the developers got lazy, or just plain ran out of ideas.
In the later years, villa developers just stopped completely listening to suggestions from customers and or even dropping some promised features.
There is now still running an offshoot from the legit community on a forum. People who took the game engine and ran with what the majority of people wanted.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning that type of thing. But I really understand where they are coming from.
Long story short:
Those are the reasons why this game fascinates me immensely and I'm looking forward to the direction the developers are taking it. Where some people might look at the xstory player as it is now and discard it as lacking, I'm seeing the huge potential it has.
