Overview
Outbound includes a character editor that was added as the final Kickstarter stretch goal (the "Character Editor" goal). Players personalize their explorer's appearance before setting out.
Options
The editor provides options for body type, hairstyle, hair color, skin tone, facial features, and clothing. The low-poly art style means character models are stylized rather than photorealistic, with a rounded aesthetic that fits the visual identity.
In-game appearance
The player character is visible during third-person exploration and walking. During first-person driving, the character's hands appear on the steering wheel. In multiplayer, customization helps distinguish players from each other when sharing the same van.
