I’ve been feeling that there’s not quite as much variety in clothing as there should be, as well as some articles that are just outright missing; for example, why are there multiple types of bikini tops, yet no bikini bottoms? As for the former, I’d kinda like to see both some more unusual clothing, like a kimono and maybe a cheongsam, and more clothing that falls under the “fancy” catagory, like an evening dress, or maybe something crazy like a zoot suit (actually a kimono and a cheongsam would probably also count as fancy now that I thing about it). Or heck, maybe someone could take the otaku profession and run with it; I’d like to run around wearing some sort of off-brand Naruto jumpsuit, or a Sailor Moon inspired getup.
Is there anyone working on expanding the clothing, or planning to in the future? Because if not I may just have to try and figure out how to add this kind of stuff to the game myself, and post it to the Github.
There is actually plenty of variety of clothing but of course some stuff are missing, as for the kimono I’m not sure, the game takes place in New England and finding a Kimono there is weird.
This one is really waiting on our ability to vary item descriptions without needing additional JSON entries. Ideally we would have a single t-shirt JSON entry with a list of different descriptions in it, rather then having 60 duplicate t-shirt entires where the only thing that is different is the description (which is how it currently works).

Implementing these items is easy with json.[/quote]
Considering that samurai armor is already in the game, I’m not sure kimonos would be any weirder. Besides, there’s nothing saying it has to be easy to find.
I’ve no objection to kimonos, sailor suits, or other such gear. Sailor suits would likely be popular thanks to the whole New England nautical culture. (If you’re insisting on Sailor Moon suits, make a separate sailor top and sailor pants (sailor hat too plz), then wear a skirt instead of the pants. The original Sailor Moon was a pretty good cartoon, I understand.)
Bikini bottoms are currently represented by the “hot pants” stuff. We’re aware that such isn’t a perfect fit, and if you want to fix that problem, feel free, though you’ll likely reap haters who don’t like being reminded that women wear clothing designed for their bodies.

Personally, I consider finding wolf suits in someone’s house vastly stranger and that’s in-game already.
Seriously, I seem to find the damned things everywhere on some worlds…

Actually the design of the “Sailor Moon” outfit has almost nothing in common with Navy sailor suits; it’s basically a modified leotard with a skirt attached (along with matching gloves and boots/high heels). The only thing it really has in common is the collar, and that’s more a connection to Japanese school uniforms (sailor fuku, which were inspired by, but are different than the Navy uniform) than anything else. I know way too much about this stuff.
To be honest, that fact that there might be haters makes me want to do this even more, as I don’t like the idea of something not being done just because someone else might get uppity about it. Heck, it makes me want to put more effort into finding feminine clothing to add, like a cheerleading uniform or something like that.
I think I might actually be doing this. Maybe I should make a post in the Lab to get suggestions for more clothing to include. Is there any documentation, like what flags are available and what they do, or rules on clothing balance, like what I should do with coverage and warmth?
Check in the docs folder for various outlines of what flags do, and information about how some internals work.
Regarding T-shirt slogans, that is currently handled by the text snippets infrastructure. Should be fairly trivial to add a set of T-shirt entries and have them displayed when you see them, if it’s short enough you might even display a nickname for it as the item description, e.g
Name:
‘Swordfight while compiling’ T-shirt
Description:
‘A black T-shirt with two stick figures brandishing swords at each other while standing on office chairs.’
This seems the place to note it: currently there I can find no glove-analog that works with talons other than hand-wraps.
You’d think “fur hand wraps” could at least be a thing for those long winter months. A Lizard Queen’s got to protect her sensitive talon-hands, too.
While dojos do have a lot a Japanese themed clothing, kimonos are not one of them.[/quote]
When I took TKD I wore a gi, not a kimono. (Never mind that TKD, being a Korean martial art, seems like it might want to avoid Japanese gear. Japan and Korea generally don’t get along, last I knew.) Kimonos are kinda an everyday/formalwear thing, not workout gear.
