Should I change the body ratio of the main character?

I received a comment on itch.io saying that the body ratio is a bit strange, with the legs being too short, making her look like a midget. Do you think I should spend time on making proportions different? It will take some time, because I will need to rebuild the clothes to fit the new proportions, but if it is really needed it is better to do it now than later when we'll have a lot of clothes.

A preview of the next version is coming soon. It will include everything you've stated cosmetic-wise with a few other additions, I need feedback on this scene I'm writing so that I can make better scenes with the new game mechanics I've worked on, so that's why I am trying to release this one early :).

Honestly, I don't know how to vote. I haven't notice anything about the length legs of the avatar until I read the post about it on itch.io. Sure, long legged women are a bit more attractive. Even if it's a lot an image that we get from the media and are not the reality (lot of pictures of models and actress are photoshoped to increase the length of the legs). Longer legs will be some eye-candy... So I would say it's a small esthetic issue, really not a big deal, than can be fixed latter. But if you are planning to create lot of other outfits, it could be better to fix it now. Because all the future outfits will be created with the final legs/body length ratio. Otherwise, you'll have to rework them later... Maybe you could release a version with the new stuff you already have (like the camel toes, the pubic hairs, and new game mechanism you have already achieve). Then, work on the length leg before moving to the next improvements. Anyway, it's you that will have all the work to do, so you are the boss :-)

I would agree with this I think, just to make the legs that little bit longer than they are at the moment. But I wouldn't say it's an urgent change that's needed. Just a minor thing for the future <3

Thanks for the time and thought you put into this. When I first drew this body, I used real women as reference, so at first it did not seem like there would be anything wrong with it. I agree, it's usually anime characters' legs with exaggerated lengths, but in the end I want to make sure that people will like the look of the character they created and if the proportions aren't actually to their liking there would be a bit of work. If I will change it, I planned to do it exactly as you've said with legs half a head longer, but we'll see.

Tho looking at it more closely, the legs could be a half-head longer if you want her to be a more "standard" proportion of legs the length of the head+torso. https://i.ibb.co/gP6Fphm/Untitled-1.png

I expect they are just used to player characters having more unrealistic, exaggerated proportions. Superheroines and anime etc are much leggier than a realistic human.
