I’ve just updated the HeroMachine 3 Alpha with BackplaneTails, featuring twelve various rump-appendages, from fox tails to a really cool mechanical scorpion stinger. Hope you like them!

Also, I put up a modified MouthStandard set featuring the evil sideways tongue teeth ensemble, as well as a BackplaneStandard that includes squid tentacles.

I’ve just updated the HM3 Alpha with the BackplaneWings set. Enjoy! Holler in comments if there’s a wing of some sort you were hoping to see but don’t, or if you see a bug of some kind.

Also, I updated BackplaneStandard with the mechanical arm separated out into two pieces, so you can have one on the bottom layer and the other on the top, making it look seamless and yet overlapping the main character for a two-level effect with a little path running down the middle.

I’ve uploaded the “BackplaneStandard” set of items to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha for your enjoyment. It includes new backpacks, wings, capes, and a few other tidbits. Here are three sample items from the new collection:

I’ll be adding “BackplaneWings” and “BackplaneTails” sets in the next few days, that’s what I’ll be working on next. I think it’s important to get those fleshed out.

As always, if you see any Backplane items you want but which aren’t already in HM2.x or 3.0 Alpha, let me know in the comments.

I got a call a bit ago from UGO letting me know that I won’t hear anything until next week about the contract renewal, since this is Good Friday and all and the main decision making guy is tied up. So I’ll let you know next week when/if I know anything. There are good signs, but it’ll be a bit still.

No word yet on the contract extension. Today I am working on fleshing out the “Backplane” slot with capes, some cool jetpacks, fighter-jet wings, etc. I’ll probably also go ahead and add “Backplane-Wings” and “-Tails” sets while I’m at it since a lot of existing items will transfer easily.

After that, probably it’ll be Masks and Headgear stuff.

Let me know in comments if there’s anything in particular you want, either in these slots or ones I’ve already finished.
