Custom text input for title and pronouns for your character - I think I might add a dropdown for common options while leaving the text fields open for custom text

On the right, there is a short backstory of who my character is. This paragraph was formed based on the multiple-choice questions I answered in the Origin tab. I think this will be an easy way to give your character backstory while actually having this backstory known to NPCs
The designs of the new character creation UI are starting to take shape - note that these will still be improved over time as UI is not my strong suit!

As I mentioned in the recent devlog, I'm intending on replacing the 3D book ui for the character creator. I love the book, but it's not quite flexible enough and it's a bit too time consuming to work with.

Lighting/atmosphere is nearly perfect now, this was taken at about 6:20am
It was a challenge balancing the game to look nice at all times of day with celshading matching on entities correctly

Working on hairstyles, they'll be split into front, back, and "extra bits", you can mix them in as many ways as you'd like
The varen on the right has just a front half right now of course 😆

(Just a concept! I'll be implementing this today)
As I've been reworking the inventory, one of the final things to do is add some nice UI to go along with it. Now this is just a concept, but the final design I implement will likely look very similar to this
for @SoilFrontier
Slot animations to show what is selected while still keeping things minimal
also ignore the grumato punching glove lol, gotta make some fixes to arm poses and held item placements

These are the races currently in the game! you'll be able to play as any one of them in Alpha 1 and even mix your ancestry which is directly reflected in your character, the shape/size/skin tones will even blend correctly😁
for my game @SoilFrontier
I won't explain how this occurs.. but there will be a feature in the future that will cause crops to become "gilded"
As seen to my right, there is a shiny golden grumato
for my game @SoilFrontier!

Running through the empty landscape often refreshes my own view of my game, I sometimes get caught up and narrow-visioned on the small details, and I forget that those small details are all coming together, slowly building this world I've had in my head for years.
