Character Creation System

I want to allow for high levels of customizability for the user. But I also want it to be a fantasy game. So I feel like I went a little overboard with it.

First thing. Naturally I wanted to support different races and genders

So, in terms of races. There are a lot of them! Most of them are there in the image strip above, but there are more.

You can control the muscle and body fat for each part of the body. You can also do the same for the face, but move the positioning around a fair bit.

Hair styles and beards can be added too. There's something a little special about that, but that can be for a different blog post.

The really cool thing about this is the ink and scar system. By design, you can place up to 15 scars and tattoos anywhere on your character.

There is a problem with the bounding box position not aligning quite well with the graphic, but this provides an extremely high level of character creation capability most games don't have, which is pretty cool. Each scar also has customization (and tattoo as well)

Admittedly. Not the scar system specifically, but the customizability of the character has created a fair few problems. It's proving difficult to get animations and clothing right.

Then there are other things. i.e. the character is too big or too tall to fit through a door.

I may have to temper the adjustability a little at least. Like height may need to change so that the max height can fit through doors. But then goes the ability to have a giant race. Then again... That could be interesting as well in terms of a playable dynamic...
