What if Pictomancer had a "Drawing Mode", similar to Bard's "Performance Mode"?

some kind of oekaki style drawing solution? why not. what could possibly go wrong??

I was thinking something similar, that maybe it could be like a feature that functions kind of like adventurer plates where you're working on a "canvas", but can only decorate it with premade assets like the backgrounds, accents, and stickers you see in plates and gpose. Drag and drop elements and arrange things how you like. And then the picture could show up during /bstance or /vpose. Overall something like the Pokeball Seals in Generation IV.
Not the ideal way I would implement a drawing feature but something to minimize abuse.

That sounds like it would be kinda fun! Could also be integrated with the gpose feature: maybe you can choose a subject to do their “portrait” but customize with all that stuff and use a filter to make it look painted.

People act like a drawing mode would be a bad idea, but think of it this way. You can say whatever you want when you turn the mature filter off. You still end up in the gaol for misbehaving. Nothing different would happen with a drawing mode. It would just be another the mods would moderate, and people would get busted.

Just add a hand-shake system.
You can draw whatever you want but for others to actually see it you would all need to be in the same party or linkshell or a right-click menu to accept.

My only concern is how much dev time and money would be used on this when it could be used on working on hat/helms for viera; sliders, game physics, textures, etc.

There will be lots, and I mean lots, of NSFW stuff. I would love this too but you just can't give 14 players that much power, sadly.

Fun fact: There once was a Lego MMORPG called LEGO Universe. One of the key features was the ability to create and share your own LEGO creations. As it was an E-rated game for a well-known family friendly brand, moderation had to be especially strict. It wasn't enough to have a "report creation" option. Every single LEGO creation had to be pre-screened by a human moderator before it could be shared. As you can imagine, the cost of that was astronomical, and was one of the key reasons the game failed financially, and was shut down.

Take this with a mountain of salt, but remember the slides mentioning new lifestyle content? The artwork they showed off for that slide involved a canvas on an easel. Now, I'm all but certain they were just being thematic with the PCT reveal, but another thought did cross my mind in that moment: What if PCT gives you the ability to make your own paintings to put on your walls, or if the canvas is an outdoor furnishing meant to be placed on your island?

You can't pretend that part of you doesn't want to see the chaos though.

Besides, it'd be moderated for like a few months maybe. It'd be fun to see people drawing all sorts of degeneracy, getting reported for it and then complaining because there's rules much like what happened with adventure plates.
