I thought it was time for an update. I have just finished the Character Customization GUI screen for Spiritus Astrum. It allows the players to choose a name for their character, as well as choosing what clothing and hair types and colours to use.
It took a little longer than expected, as I was originally going to try a different approach, which didn't work out.
I'm quite happy with what I came up with though.
Bear in mind of course that this I am working on a very early prototype of the game, so the art and graphics are not finished. I also haven't finished the female avatar model yet, but that's my next task.
So without further ado, the pics: (Clicking on the image will take you to a larger version)

My main goals are to implement the main features of the non-combat side of the game, and hopefully produce a demo, which I will upload here (Maybe in a month or so, if things go well). This demo will be a very early implementation of the social network side of the game. Players will be able to create a character, log in, chat to each other, and that's basically it.
If that works out ok, the next "milestone" will be to implement travel to other planets (using spaceships), with each planet having its own dynamic weather, day/night cycles, environments, terrain, etc etc.
That's about all for now.
