[2020] Capes and backpacks in general would look better without having them float awkwardly off of our backs.

Capes are one of the most difficult things we've ever had to implement, for so many complicated reasons. Backpacks are similarly irritating. One of the many factors here is body scaling and armor. There is a single backpack model which has to work whether you're fat, skinny, wearing a skin tight suit, or huge, bulky, spiky armor. If the cape is fitted snug to a skinny, tight suit wearing character, it will be completely inside the body of a chonker in giant armor. There's more to it than that, but hopefully that starts to give you a better idea.

I am one of the creators of backpacks (not capes) and I care deeply about the game and the people who play it. I take great pride in my art and I want it to be the best it can be for everyone. Unfortunately, game development is a series of compromises and this is the best possible solution. It's almost never as simple as it seems.

Thank you so much! While I can't take credit for the original model (the hawk wings) that those are a re-texture of, I did make them white and create their new position. Boy, those were a buggy annoying mess! I'm so glad I got them to at least look decent in the end, and I'm really glad you enjoy them! :D

I cannot speak to which things will and won't be dyeable as that's not something I'm involved in. I don't actually know the answer.

Yeah I'm not but I'll try to pass it along! That doesn't seem fun :(

But a golden Ad Infinitum has been a long requested feature.

From a technical standpoint you can't create that gold look with dyes. It would have to be a brand new skin with that special material. To anyone seeing this comment in isolation, I don't know what will and won't be happening. I'm just purely talking how stuff is made.
