    ...picking my favorite colors made my guy look silly...

    the trick is to go with muted versions of those colors and also cut it with something like gray or gold or white. Stacking bright primary colors right next to one another is a good way to make your hero look like a circus reject.

    Yeah I did blue and white. But that meant either blue or white hair

    Which I guess would work since he was an electricity guy, I dunno, maybe I'll give it another shot some day.

    You can set completely different colours for different costume parts, you wouldn't have needed blue or white hair, there's a tickbox on the designer which I think is on by default for setting a base colour on everything before changing details, my latest character has a blue outfit with black hair and golden weapons.

    So today I'm considering reinstalling this, I bought the Good vs Evil edition a couple years ago and played through my free month then quit

    When I reinstall, how many of my 6-8 characters will I have access to? If its just 2 or 3 do I get to choose which ones?

    I read somebody here talking about paying to unlock mastermind, my highest character was a mastermind, will I be able to play him without paying?

    yeah, I think if you've ever bought the game, you'll have a good bit of stuff unlocked

    If you only played for one month you will have very little unlocked. I haven't had an account go freemium yet myself but you should be able to choose from among your non-MM/controller characters.

    I'm fairly sure old characters get grandfathered in, just if you decide to change their powers or locked costume pieces you are up shit-creek.

    they might if you bought the game, but not if you played a free trial, I can't use this dual guns guy I made a year ago

    Yeah, they don't take away anything from your existing characters, so you'll be able to jump back in.

    However, you might have to unlock the characters. I had 4 characters slots that I could unlock when I started with the freeness.

    I'll be totally honest, as sad as I am that IWSF doesn't like a game that I spent...($15...times 12 months...times six...) a bunch on, I'm thrilled. Because the really honestly fun part of this game, is the fucking costume editor.
    Granted, the amount of shit you don't get access to is mindboggling compared to what I get to dick around with, but now that the editor lets you at least *see* the part to see if you want it, it doesn't matter. Print Screen, save the screenshot somewhere.
    Because I have a blast sometimes just making weird costumes/character concepts.

    Look at this shit:

    You got a few nice bios there. I think this one I found during a visit to City Hall may top them however.

    I can't believe additional character slots are 480 and the minimum point purchase is 400

    that way, you'll have another 320 (+some bonus amount) when you buy 800. aren't you so lucky?

    I wish point systems with minimum purchases were illegal


    I guess that sounds overdramatic

    Spend the extra points on auction/invention licenses, and then buy yourself something nice, an XP booster, or a nice bit of character decoration.

    man, I bought 1200 (plus I think 160 bonus) and spent it on a powerset and a bunch of costume stuff.

    willpower is a pretty good one because you can basically make it invisible

    My favourite characters so far are a mixture of bland and mediocre that feels comfortable and safe, possibly because I am terrible at design and don't want to do anything exciting or fancy with them.

    Enjoy.

    So the halloween costume pack came out today. Complete with medusa hair, bat auras, piranha-heads, and among other things... A BRAIN IN A JAR.
    Jarhead01B.jpg

    The jar can have the brain and eyes, just the brain, or nothing at all. Buying the shit out of this as soon as I can come up with some sort of concept for that.

    Here's a list of all the pieces in the bundle:
    Medusa Face
    Vampire Face
    Frilled AScot
    Fish Monster Gloves
    Fish monster boots
    Vampire High Collar Package for Capes
    Vampire Broach
    Spider WEb Wings
    Bats Aura
    Piranha Head
    Think Tank head package
    Beehive Hair
    Serpentine Hair

    And a link to a thread with images of most of the pieces.

    Yeah, I've already spent far too much on this game since it went "free", but no way in hell am I passing that up.

    Also, a note on those pieces: The store currently says they'll only be available until mid-november. So pick 'em up while you can, I guess.

    Alright, probably going to resub sometime in the next day or two. If anyone wants to shoot me your refer-a-friend thing, I'll gladly take it. Not sure how it works, if you need my email just PM me and I'll send it.
