For those who have missed it, I have a list of all the options currently planned for the new Character Manager on the play.net forums at The Alliance of Heroes >> Council House - Discussions with Simutronics >> Reallocation. This is your chance to request the features you’ve always wanted!

Feel free to make suggestions here as well. There is no need to create an account or to log in to reply to news items.

While waiting for player feedback, I’ve been working out the details of Height selection. The choices will vary based on Race and Age and the format of the choices list is a bit perplexing. Do I let players choose their height in inches? Is it appropriate to give human adolescents 8 choices and adult giants a whopping 48 choices all on one screen? Do I let players choose feet+inches, thus limiting the choice of inches to no more than 12 despite the fact that this will complicate the CM scripts and possibly confuse new players in the CM?

I’ve also tasked Jubalee with offering messaging for changing choices in the CM and have begun coding the actual rooms.

Aside from that I’m working on things behind the scenes and keeping busy with spring farm-work. I’ve got my garden planted and the fields sprayed, fertilized and seeded. I also had my sister and her friend and their families come to visit on their way up to Hershey Park so entertaining five children was quite the chore, but fun nonetheless. “Uncle Jeff” seems to have become iconic in their little circle of kids.
