Modify Character Image based on equipment/experience

[lady black]

Armor is a type of straight jacket. That is why it lowers your attack chance, it is hard to move in armor. And the more protection it gives, the harder it is to move in.
Actually, the kid kind of looks like he is in a straight jacket while bare-chested--very non-movable looking, IMO.

the armor is a touch too dark,
it looks almost black on my phone...

great job though, really! d- -b

[Pyrizzle]

Wow! Great work! They look really good. How many different variations do you think are going to be needed?

Thanks for the feedback

I changed the leather armor a bit, it now is less dark and perhaps looks a bit more like leather?!

As Samuel has stated before 3 or 4 images for each layer should be there when we introduce this into the game, the player has to see a real difference.
We currently have:
2 Weapons
2 Armors
1 Necklace
3 Shields

excellent work!
its exciting to see progress...

i would like to vote strongly against any changes made to the head when changing helmets
it looks terrible, every time... even on next gen games & consoles.
there are rare exceptions, like a mask type helm - just to name one
but there is nothing in the game to match...
sometimes horns on the helm look good, other times... just plain goofy

just an opinion, and if you go with helm changes... good luck!
any challenge can be overcome.

thanks again!

They look great. Although I would like to see the red bag replaced. Shield in one hand sword in the other. Great work. The lighter colour armour looks better.

[nyktos]

YES!!!
+1 to replacing the bag with a weapon

Where is the third shield image? We saw 2 yesterday.
Where will these new images be utilized in the game? I am assuming during the game play itself is a given. What about on the "inventory" screen? Would be cool to have image dynamically change as we change the equipped items. How about the "overview" tab or the hero menu button on the game play screen?

+1

huge 2 handed weapon ?

There seems to be a major request to replace the "bag" (after working quite a lot with the image I'm pretty sure it's a boxing glove but nevertheless) I will have to think about properly have not made a decision so far, on the one hand it would probably look better without it, on the other hand it is made by redknight91 as it is (with the bag) and I'm always careful when I change images made by others. Anyways I think I will give it a try the next few days.

The third shield image is the round shield on page 2 of this topic

Where will these new image be utilized in the game?

As you stated, during the gameplay is a given AFAIK, on the inventory screen it would also make sense and look great IMO but on the overview tab and on the hero menu button I would tend to use the char image without everything (even without sword)
I have nearly no programming skill, so I hope this is not too hard to realize

A lot earlier Bornain asked for a chain mail, I now tried it and would (as always) like to hear your thoughts, furthermore I created a second necklace, new weapons will take a while but are in production
