this explains better, you see doing the darker skin color is not a problem but the mouth/nose/eyes still use the shading base on the "base" skin color :(

this is the best I can do without going nuts (aka "impossible to do it") :mrgreen:

Well, I like it! I don't know about others, but I'm going to use this face for sure(99% of chance, too pretty! I will feel like my character is the the pop/funk singer Anita, so it's cool!). Thanks for all the effort you ate putting in the development of this game!
BobTheMob
This looks like it should be all kinds of fun!!!!! 😀



I always did want a game where I could design my own character, and the only thing I was aware of was Magical Diary...and the name alone already tells ya that ain't a game for dudes. :P

Can I preorder now? XD

Thanks, I might reuse this system also in future games (don't know which ones yet) since the amount of combos is higher than I expected (I managed to have 15 hair/eyes colors, even if some are similar of course).

This looks like it should be all kinds of fun!!!!! 😀

I added a "Randomize" button, and I've spent several minutes clicking it just to see the results. I can confirm it will be fun (and there's only female half elf data for now!). It will be one of those games where after 4h "OK I finally finished the character creation..." :mrgreen:

Can I preorder now? XD

Hehe considering all your kindness on Patreon there's no need for you to preorder but I appreciate the sentiment! :)



Once I have all the portraits art will do a public alpha so you can play with it too!

By the way, what is the difference between an elf and a half-elf? I mean, in some rpg settings(I assume things are different in Aravorn but I wanted to ask first), the half-elves are taller and more muscular than the elves(the elves are slender and naturally more inclined to magic, which the half-elves only have a few magical traits), the males can grow a beard(elves can't have beards), they retain a little of the elves flexibility but have the human adaptability and of course, could live a little more than a human, like 150 years or something.

After all that, I really have no clue how the half-elves work at all, I mean, I look at Draco and only see a elf, I can't really find much of a difference...
jack1974
Not necessarily taller, but more muscular, and yes they can grow beard (while elves cannot), can live more than a human but not like an elf. They're more inclined to being thieves/ranger than magic (though they can be).

Hm I should probably add an entry to the wiki and then link from there :) Will do this tomorrow maybe.
Madance
So they aren't that different from de RPG Half-Elves then... I love it!

There is a difference in the size or type of ear?
jack1974
Yes they're still pointed but not on the side and not long as the elves. I just got the half-elf PSD (the images posted so far were of the elves) so you can see the difference :)
Madance
I've seen it now! Thanks!

this morning was surprisingly cool, so was very productive :)

As said before, I am "only" having six equipment slots in this game: head, chest, ring, main,secondary,ranged weapons.

I am also going to add several new item icons I've commissioned :) like the fire bow Phoenix above.

Of course lot of stuff is still work in progress!
BobTheMob
Phoenix Bow looks awesome; wid (PHILLY-Speak) the spikes it looks like it could be used even as a melee weapon, maybe as a stabbing and/or slashing thing. That'd be cool to see!!! :twisted:



Also, will there be legendary kinds of weapons specific for each character like in LTAP and SOTW?
jack1974
Yes in addition to some items that could be used by more than 1 character, there'll be specific weapons for each character in the party :)

finished coding the item comparison panel, I think should be quite clear as it is now :)

recruitment screen finished

and "town screen" too. I'm going to have more variety of activities you can do in each location vs Loren. There will still be the various city tasks to improve Fame (in this game I used the term Reputation) to get discounts in shops.



Today was a very fresh day here and I was 200% more productive than usual as you noticed! :mrgreen:

The term here should be spelled "Capital" since "Capitol" refers to a building in a city.

That sounds fun! :)

What kinds of activities will there be, or is that still up in the air?



Also, I've noticed there haven't been any gems or anything like that. Will there be things that can be sold as pure profit in this?
jack1974
Thanks will change that :)

The activities are the ones listed above, then if you choose training you'll be able to pick a battle with different enemies to grind for XP.

Since this game plays in a limited number of days, at least you can grind as much as you want each day (so hopefully people won't complain too much like they did in SOTW).



There are gems and other precious things you can sell for profit.

progress has been very slow in past days due to some personal errands and the INSANE HEAT that arrived even before than usual (in past years was only July the crazy hot month, this year already from half-June was >30°C every day!).

So I'm only doing simple stuff like new items design and layout tweaks. I think I have enough things to do an alpha demo but at this point I'm thinking to make a longer demo, including some of the first storylines/quests :)

Insane heat at > 30°C lol, here in Texas from the first week of June until the first week of September is always over 30°C (86 Fh) it's normal for every single day in August to be 40°C or over (104 Fh)



So basically, stop being a wuss and get to making those games! :lol:
