I mean, every good hero needs a little orphan kid running around with them, right? So it could be a junior hero machine, or something like that... Different costume options, like maybe a school uniform or some roller skates. I don't know, kid stuff. It just seems like it would be a lot of fun. How about something like a sidekick maker?

In other words, if you can expand the Star Wars and LOTR like content, then it will be one more step towards being the ultimate hero machine.

I also agree with Count Libido there needs to be more body types or poses.

Also, I'd like to see more symbols, insignias and logos. Sometimes you create a great costume for a character and there just isn't a symbol that sums him up. Even if it's just a random shape, something to create a focal point on the chest is sometimes all a character needs to set him off. A couple of big bold insignias would be nice such as a lightning bolt that comes from the shoulder and blazes across the chest would be cool. Definitely some more body types.

You can make a real app for Mac and PC.:D Now that would be cool. With Abode air out now. You can make a real app for Mac and PC.:D Now that would be cool.

This would lead to quite a few things I've thought about, like adding weapons from ancient China and Japan, such as hookswords, a straight katana, unicorn Knives, Kwando/Monk Spade type weapons, etc. No doubt this would allow for you to release entire sections dedicated to a particular time period, or even particular mythology. I do appreciate the one-offs, and support them, and I think eventually a Planet HeroMachine would be neat and all, but it's apparently already got UGO forums, Uberworld, and its own Yahoo! group, so trying to make a standalone website could be stretching the project (and yourself) unecessarily beyond its means. When it comes to its own community, a little more promoting what you already have would probably be just fine, and with all the fans of HM altogether, it could quite simply take care of itself. I'm sure the one-offs would be fun... but in the end, I'd have to say releasing 2.X versions would be the best bet of them all. I have to say the 2.X version idea is awesome.

That'd sure be a real shame in my book! Don't get me wrong though! Of course all 3 propositions above are very interesting ones in their own right. But anyway, what I'm really looking forward to is the new (3rd) version of this most fantastic program!!!! Anything else would be bonus-like to me, which is always neat to get, but can't cope with an upgrade of the real thing, know what I mean?

I am really excited for heromachine 3 (probably because of the wicked cool poser). I think it will do better than HM 2 or any other HM.
