HeroMachine 3 Alpha

Welcome to the HeroMachine 3 Lab test page and the program’s “alpha” version! My goal all along with this program has been to involve you, the folks actually using it, in the development process. Your help and suggestions have already been invaluable; a number of features are the direct result of comments made by people in the comments to various posts. So thank you already. You can follow all the latest updates and discussion in the “HeroMachine 3″ category of this blog.

Now it’s at a stage where you can actually use it to put together a character. It’s not quite ready to be called a true “beta” version yet because so many of the features do not yet work, or are buggy, and so many slots don’t have any items in them at all. But, I’d like some feedback on how what I do have ready is organized, how the interaction works, if the multiple-items-per-slot interaction seems intuitive or not, and in general any ideas getting to interact with what’s there might generate.

So keep in mind that this is still VERY early in the development process; that your ideas and suggestions are very much wanted; and that I’ll be updating this page with new content regularly until we get it to the point where it’s ready for actual launch.

Have fun!
