Character Creation

This is not a final version.  I'm still working on it.  I'm hoping to make the interaction with attributes and skills more intuitive.  I just wanted to show my progress so far.  Here you can see that the basic mechanics of character creation is in place.  Users can assign points from the character's Attribute and Skill pools.  And you can set your character's portrait.

You have a selections of 60 portraits all of which are animated to give them a touch of life.  These are all new portraits.  I had to expand my prior palette slightly to accommodate the variety of characters.

Still left to do:

  • Attribute and skill modification needs to be more intuitive.  Possibly add Plus / Minus buttons when cursor is hovering over them.
  • Auto assign points for those who want to get started right away.
  • Add a visual indicator to the selected portrait to show which character you are editing a little better.
  • Maybe even some character voices at some point.

Any questions or appropriate suggestions are welcome.  Thanks for stopping by.
