Aye that will definitely help

Aye that will definitely help!

So what's the status of the AB? Are we still waiting for the download process to be fixed? Will the Holiday Mission still be coming or have you decided to save it for next year?

Spurn all ye kindle.

I'm always happy to see more

I'm always happy to see more news, so thank you for sharing! I hope that we will get something a bit more significant soon; I've definitely noticed the forum and Discord get a lot quieter since the hype of the chargen being released, and hope to see another revitalization of interest!

I like this. If we cant get the update at least we can see that things are still moving and getting better.

I think you can still get a direct download link from Warcabbit if you ask for it, but it's not anything crazy. The "mission" and corresponding conversation UI is extremely barebones and involves running around the island talking to NPCs without a map or objective markers or anything. I've played it. The AB updates in that version amount to mostly bug fixes, and not even remotely all the current bugs at that.

Really good improvement !

Really good improvement ! This will make the AB clearer than now :) I agree the scrollwheel is often used !
the only thing i wonder is why did you put only 3 squares per line ?

To me, we only need to have a overview in those squares (so, they can be smaller than now and present more than 3 squares per line) and if we want to see the final shape, we can put it on our character. Moreover, it can be useful to keep the same area for all the items of the UI. I mean, afterall this is the main thing (with the pattern) we will try and try and try so for me it seems important to improve this two parts of the avatar builder :) (the sliders will be used at the beginning but, i think players will spent more time on dressing their characters)
For example, the color window will be use "sometimes" compared to the item choice windows or the pattern window so it could have a less important place in the UI than them.

below, a quick reflexion on the subject. On the left, the actual UI, on the right my 2 cents of reflexion ^^

Totally down with this.....IMO try a few different configurations and send them out. Lets see what works.

I'm thinking it might be a

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to post a pic of the UI (at full screen resolution) as it is currently with the express intention of letting it be something people can mark up/draw on and then post image links to here in the forum for a kind of crowdsourced prototyping of the UI elements (what they are, how they're arranged, etc.). This is really something that requires interaction with a visual medium, and text isn't all that great for this purpose.

I would like to think that some rapid prototyping with rounds of feedback here in the forums would be helpful.
