Comment on Neverness to Everness has patched out a character’s shorts in favor of panties following complaints

It’s worth mentioning that the Shinku patch was released just 12 hours after Version 1.2 went live on July 2, which is a rather quick response by the devs at Perfect World to “un-nerf” their newest character.
12 hours for the patch to be released, players playing it, complaining about it online, the devs reading it, deciding to act on the complains, change the model and release the new patch?
That sounds a bit too quick to me and more like they already had the model ready. For whatever reason.

I would assume that they have multiple models of each character ready, potentially for future skin releases or maybe just as a “what if X looks like that”, as some sort of “proof of concept”.
Or perhaps they just put up the original model which they couldn’t use because the marketing team thought it was too risky,
Huge mobile games like this compete with each other fiercely. Part of that is being able to turn around updates, events, fixes and so on quickly. The business buzzword is Live Ops.

Almost certainly. International marketing showed renders of the character with pantsu, but the character was released in China with shorts.
