Character Contest 25 Winners!

Posted on January 25, 2010 by AFDStudios | Comments Off

I am happy to announce the winner of Character Contest 25 is ... Anarchangel!

The margin of victory was one vote, but even crazier is that the vote for second place was even closer -- it was a tie! So our two runners-up, who will also be featured in the banner on a rotating basis, were (in order they appear below) Psycko Sama and Hammerknight:

Anarchangel wins either one item of his choice, or a portrait of himself, either of which will appear in the final HeroMachine 3 release. Congratulations to him, and to both Hammerknight and Psycko Sama! Great job to everyone who entered, my thanks.

I actually had a dream about this last night. I know, I'm weird.

Star Re-Trekkin’

Posted on January 23, 2010 by AFDStudios | Comments Off

I just watched JJ Abrams' "Star Trek" for the second time, and here is my very informed and erudite opinion:

That was a good movie!

I'm all tingled up with geeky goodness now. A great job, in what has to go down as one of the greatest retcons in history. Well done, Mr. Abrams!

Feel free to use the comments to tell me how I'm an idiot.

HM3: Monstrous addition

Posted on January 23, 2010 by AFDStudios | Comments Off

I've just added a "BodyMonster" set to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha. These are actually just replacements for the legs, as you can see:

Holler if there's something you had hoped for but don't see. This does include the set of updated Monster bits from HM2, with the centaur(s), tree trunk, spider, faun, etc. I also included some requests from the Aliens thread with the ghost bottom, twister bottom, etc. I also cheated a bit and stole some elements from Insignia and Companions to make more half-human, half-animal hybrids possible beyond just centaurs.

Hope you like 'em.
