File:Character Creator Upgrades

Description
This video showcases several upgrades to the Character Creation Tool (CCT) for Ship of Heroes. We also create Ambassador, one of the signature heroes of the game and the leader of the Justice Corps, on camera for the first time. This marks the first use of the “big guy” character model in the CCT. The male models in Ship of Heroes were upgraded back in July. New morphs, especially for the face, are in place, as well as other improvements such as an eye camera for close-ups, a hide helmet option, and extensive selections of powersets and powers for each archetype.

Each character created in the CCT has a primary powerset, reflecting what they are best at, and a secondary powerset, reflecting additional powers that are thematically linked. Ambassador is a tank archetype, so his primary powerset is Invulnerability, which conveys strong defense and resistance powers. Ambassador’s secondary powerset is Street Sweeper, a group of powers that are manifested through a short-range gun of the future, with over a dozen possible powers. The video reveals 4-5 primary powersets, and 4-5 secondary powersets, each with 10-12 powers, for all four initial archetypes that have been announced for the Beta at the end of 2018.

Ship of Heroes is a sci-fi MMORPG currently under development in the Unreal 4.15 engine, but the developers have announced that they will be upgrading to UE 4.16 before the end of Q4. SoH is expected to begin Alpha tests at the end of 2017. Come visit our site at https://www.shipofheroes.com to learn more.
