If you've used HeroMachine to help your web site, I want to spread the word about it! Either leave a comment here with your URL or send me an email containing a link and a quick description and I'll post it. Whether you wrote a novel and used HeroMachine to help visualize the characters, or you're a role playing gamer who brought villains to life for your players with the application, send it along and share it with the world.

I look forward to seeing what you all have done!

At long last, I am pleased to announce that in conjunction with UGO, a new version of the HeroMachine site is now live! I hope the new graphics, the new layout, and the blogging interface help me bring you new and exciting information about the program, comics, heroic illustration, and other topics of interest to the well-informed, modern geek. I did want to point out a couple of neat features that I think you'll like:

• The "Downloads" page now has direct links to the files you need to run HeroMachine locally, including -- now absolutely free without registration or payment -- HeroMachine 2.0. That's right, you can now use the full version of the application on your desktop for nothing!
• The "FAQ" page has been updated as well, with a bit more information on some topics that have been confusing people.
• Blogging is now built right into the site. The newest few posts will always show up on the home page, or you can click on the "News" link at the top for a longer list.
• Links to other cool things UGO is doing can be found at the bottom, and in the "Games" header at the very top. The company writes about a lot of neat stuff involving super-heroes, comic books, popular movies, books, video games, and a lot more. If you like HeroMachine and gaming in general, the odds are good that UGO has other content you'd find interesting.

I'll have more to say in the upcoming days, but for now, I hope you enjoy the site and the program. If you have any questions at all, please feel free send me a message using the "Contact" form, or directly to my personal address (afdstudios@gmail.com).
