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

[jack1974]

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

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!

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.

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..."

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.

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
