Prototype 39 - The beginnings of character customization

Maru Island
A downloadable game demo for Windows

It's update time! A couple of changes this time around. First off all HP and damage values have been scaled up by 5 then tweaked to attempt to improve game balance. There was little reason not to just heavy attack with the sword the whole time before, now it's a little more tactical. I will continue to balance as needed as the project evolves.

Second and more excitingly, we now have the basics of character customization! Right now you can choose your name, gender, and skin tone, although gender doesn't affect anything yet. I'm finally working with an artist for character designs for the boy, girl, and enby characters and once those are finalized we will start updating the sprites to reflect them!

As always, remember this is an early prototype and everything is subject to change - if you have feedback on how you want the project to develop, please share it with me in the comments here or at sara@pipkofanfare.com

Thank you!
