Character Creator V2

When we launched the Alpha, we used a set of purchased assets as a temporary character creator. It did the job, but it was always a placeholder. We've been working on the new version since then, and today we're bringing the first iteration to the app for players to try out and share feedback on.

For avatar portraits, we went with the classic bust portrait in ¾ view. If you've played RPGs with character dialog portraits, you'll recognize the format instantly. It felt right for Stepcraft.

Representation matters to us. We want everyone to feel at home in the character creator, so we built it to be fully genderless with all assets interchangeable. This first version has a focused selection to start with, and we'll be expanding it incrementally over time. These assets take a while to make well, and rather than holding the whole thing back until it's "finished," we'd rather get it into your hands now. Even in this MVP state, it's already a meaningful step up from what we've had.

Right now you can customize your face shape, skin tone, eye colour, hair style, and hair shade. Down the line we'll be adding accessories, eyebrows styles and colors, facial hair and colors, plus more face shapes, hair styles, and color options.

Your starting clothing is tied to your chosen heritage. Since elves are the only playable race right now, everyone begins with the signature green elven cloak. Eventually you'll be able to customize clothing, hair, and accessories with dyes, and unlock additional styles through quests, events, lootboxes, multiplayer activities, and more.

We'd love to hear what you think. Head to Discord and let us know.
