Creating a 3D Dot Hero, One Pixel at a Time
Today Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales at Atlus, loaded a 3D Dot Game Heroes customization breakdown onto the PlayStation.Blog website. Even the character editor shines with a warm, nostalgic feel. I mean … ye ol’ Final Fantasy, anyone?
Players wield the power to invent their own heroes and send them merrily into the kingdom. Apparently the North American launch will boast more custom characters than the original Japanese turf release, so those of us who cry over our “stick figure” drawings can compose ourselves a little at the news.
Allegedly the editor will be a breeze to operate; the copy, paste, and flip shortcuts facilitate the process. Textures won’t concern you according to Jabbari, who assures us of the wondrous and magical “real-time lighting engine” … whatever that means … that eliminates the issue. We’ll take his word for it.
If you like sharing the love, then a quick USB-to-hub transfer will upload your unique character to the 3DDGH community online.
3DDGH punches classics in the face on May 11th and comes generously priced. What kind of hero will you design?

I remember playing those PS2 create your own games, and how much of a pain they were. This look a lot easier.

@Henry That’s what I’m worried about, too, Henry. I always hate in-depth customization programs because half the time they’re too cumbersome. But this actually doesn’t look bad.
@FredOzzel I’m so excited for it!

Kevin over at Spawn Kill is actually going to take a virtual tour of the game via Aram online pretty soon of this game, so you can check that out. Looks like it’s gonna be sweet.
