It's that time again. Today we have two screenshots to go with our developer journal. One image shows off some nice scenery, while the second displays two characters at ease.

A special thanks to Melissa Meyer, who will be leaving Simutronics soon. She has been a dream to work with!
I love the pauldron that the man has and...more importantly Green Hair. I always make a character with green hair when the option is available in an rpg. I'm very pleased to know the option will be in this game. Hopefully the ilvari will be able to have green hair. That is the race I'm most interested in playing. Maybe a tog if they look cool.
Personally, I love the fact that the female has an asian look to them. Seems to me that most games shy away from asian, or other national characteristics and stick with the typical elf, dwarf, orc, stuff... I'm happy to see, and also know that their character development/creation is the most customizable I've seen in any game! You will be able to create a character of your choice I'm sure... spend alot of time customizing it, or make one fast, your choice.
I have a good looking female (I don't use her though), but do you really want a game where everyone is gorgeous?
I think you'll find a lot of ugly npcs, and a lot of pretty ones too. And probably some very weird ones.
Hold the phones here gang. Those characters are just one in a set of seemingly endless combinations of a character that you can make.
If you want an ugly character, so be it. Make them ugly. You can.
If you want a deformed character, so be it. You can.
If you want one that looks undead, Welp, you can!
Read the articles on character creation and you might get a glimpse of what I am talking about.
If it's a facial feature, you can change it. And not just change it to "preset" limits. You can adjust them by minute degrees if you want or make the changes more drastic.
I've said this once before. Building a character in HJ is going to be an artform. Not just a point and click. If your good enough, you'll be able to make your character look like anyone.
Awesome new screenshots
Too bad Melissa is leaving, she was nice... now if she would have only gotten back to me about that interview she had to reschedule for, I would have loved her
