If you have a Steam account, you can then write your next character suggestions in their official thread:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3301060/discussions/0/597397602266285566/
The developers read those suggestions and feedbacks, also there are threads about which features you might like.
One good feature that will arrive in the future is the support for custom VRM models, so it'll be possible to use custom made characters in Desktop Mate, something similar to Mate Engine:

To make custom VRM models, I really recommend VRoid Studio, is free (made by Pixiv team) and very good:
