Petit Planet Customization and Social Features Guide

To express yourself and connect with other players in Petit Planet during the Stardrift beta test, open the wardrobe menu to customize your avatar's appearance and use non-verbal social emotes while exploring planets.

Customizing Your Avatar

Character customization allows you to alter your character's visual design to match your aesthetic preferences and planet environment.

Wardrobe Selection: Access clothing options from the character menu during initial creation or through your wardrobe. Experiment with different clothing sets to change your visual identity.
Palette and Texture Coordination: Match your character's color scheme and material textures to your current environment or furniture setup for a cohesive look.
Regular Updates: Swap outfits periodically to reflect seasonal changes or newly acquired items, signaling an active presence to returning visitors.

Managing Movement and Terrain Interactions

Movement mechanics in Petit Planet integrate character animation directly into world traversal.

Observe Terrain Responses: Note how your avatar's walking and running animations adjust as you cross different surface heights and terrain features.
Utilize Idle Animations: Pause near key locations on your planet to trigger subtle idle poses that showcase your active outfit and environment.
Communicate via Movement: Combine fluid movement paths with directional shifts to navigate shared areas alongside other players smoothly.

Social communication in Petit Planet relies heavily on built-in gesture systems and planet visits.
