Once Human overhauls its radiance system and visual identity
The development team announces a major rework of the radiance system, the feature that allows players to showcase their customization in Once Human.
Once Human developers have unveiled a significant update to the game's radiance system, according to an official announcement posted on Steam. This feature currently serves as an identity marker for each player in the post-apocalyptic world of Nalcott, recording their aesthetic discoveries and personal collections.
A necessary evolution
The team acknowledges that the current system has inconsistencies. Some cosmetic items, having been introduced gradually since launch, don't integrate smoothly with the radiance visual presentation. This situation has motivated the developers to completely rethink the system's approach.
The update will also affect player identity indicators, promising a comprehensive overhaul of how customizations are displayed in-game. For a survival and building title like Once Human, where player self-expression is a core pillar of the experience, this improvement could strengthen community engagement.
Upcoming expansion
The announcement also mentions an expansion of radiance-related content, without providing further details. Players can expect these changes to improve the visual consistency of their cosmetic collections accumulated since the game's launch.
