I couldn’t find the comment asking for a plain untufted cat tail in BackplaneTail, but it’s in now.

I’m going to start working on Headgear today, so let me know any specific requests you have in the comments. If you’ve made suggestions about Headgear items before in other posts, please re-submit them here if you don’t mind; it’s hard to go back through the old stuff and pick out onesie-twosie requests.
And yes, I’ll be including every current HeroMachine 2 Headgear item, so you can skip those.
HM3’s Headgear slot will include at least sets for Standard, Helmets, Masks, and Glasses. If you think of other big groups of headgear-related items that deserve to have their own set, let me know that too.

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 wanted to make an open thread for people to post links to their HeroMachine 3 creations. Put yours up on the UGO Forums’ “Hero Archives” (or Flickr, Facebook, whatever) and put the link in the comments. I also wanted to put up a few from Imp, which I hope he doesn’t mind. But they were cool and each shows off a feature of HM3 that I suspect a lot of folks haven’t thought of.

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.
