Warsim: The Realm of Aslona News

Day four of the develop-a-thon, today brings a feature I'm in love with, the custom champion creator! This is no joke either, this is real full blown customisation of your own heroes, check this out





**CUSTOM CHAMPION CREATOR**

This was a suggestion by a real life friend of mine who plays warsim, something I can't believe I haven't thought of yet, it allows you to create a custom hero, you can draw/generate or build their face, choose their battlescore, name and origin and then add them to your game, this allows for completely personal champions!

* Added cheat code '6001' opens custom champion creator (credit Dylan)
