Portrait System: Grand Fashion for Grand Strategy | Gilded Destiny: A Grand Strategy Game

In this video, we are excited to share the details of Gilded Destiny's portrait system that we will use for leaders. We intend to incorporate fashion trends all around the world, from all walks of life, and all cultures within our portrait system. One of our main focuses with the portrait system is to facilitate moddability, by allowing the player to harness the power of AI.

Special Portraits are fully animated and highly detailed, and will be used for unique historical figures. Standard portraits, will be all other other in-game leaders, allowing head and outfit swaps, but with limited motion and a fixed pose.

While most of the images, outfits, military units, menus, and map layers in this vlog are all still pre-alpha renderings, which will likely change significantly before release, and some placeholders are used, we hope this video gives you a better understanding of where the development is going!

Gilded Destiny is set at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, and will allow players to live through the intricacies and challenges of the era. The game's central goal is to transform your chosen country from an agrarian society into an industrial one—where you'll lead your population from subsistence to wealth by controlling key economic, diplomatic, and military factors to achieve your goal.
