Fellow Character Enthusiasts,

the next update - this time even bigger - is on it's way and it will be good!

Here is a little overview of what you can expect:

8D Cloud: Your progress will be synced and available on all your devices you want to use 8D on. The char codes will vanish and be replaced by a sophisticated save system where you can save your chars with style. You will also be able to publish created chars and look at other chars published by the community.


Spritesheet Creator: All export methods will be replaced as well. You will be able to create every export template you can think of and exactly how your engine of choice needs it. This will be done via an easy drag and drop creator. Like with the characters you will be able to publish created templates and use those published by others. I also prepared a few already known templates (giant spritesheet, rpg maker sheets, ...) and those can be used as is or copied and modified to your liking!


Colorable, Split Outfits: Outfits will be transformed to tops and bottoms. This alone is more than awesome, but it get's even better. Those tops and bottoms (+ headgears soon) will consist of 2-3 layers each and can be colored with ANY color you want. This makes creating different looking characters so much easier and will for sure make all of you really happy!

Busts: Some complained that busts aren't diverse enough and we listened. Soon (not with 1.2) there will be added quite a few of new options, but to change something now I added the option to place mouth, nose and eyes freely on the face. This will allow you to create really unique character busts :)


Colorable Weapons and Weapontrails: After the update you will be able to choose colors for weapons and weapontrails. Coloring the weapontrails will hopefully solve the problem with RPG Developer Bakin that is remove semi-transparent parts of frames on its own...


When will all of this hit Itch you ask? Soon, really soon! The current planned release date is Monday 05/15/2023.

Splitting outfits into tops and bottoms is A LOT of work though + creating the posibillity to color them freely, so it might be possible that we have to postpone the update a few days. I sadly can't release a few new things separately, cause the layer system has already been changed for the tops and bottoms and won't work with the "old" outfits any longer.

The final release date will be decided within the next two days - I'll keep you posted. I will answer any questions you have on our Discord - no matter if you want to know something about the upcoming update or 8D in general - I'll be waiting for you and Low is there to talk art as well!


Thanks for your time and I hope you are as thrilled about the upcoming update as we are :)
