Hi there!

I'm very sorry, I wasn't notified of this post! Here is a video about how to make a character for the game and upload it to the Workshop!

Apologies again!

It's fine, thank you for responding!

Is there a text version of this video? Some points are either hard to see, or it gets annoying to keep jumping back to rewatch each step

Unfortunately there's not! However I can help you out with any questions you have! Send any questions to info @ walkwithkings.com.au and I can help you out directly!

It just says shoo for now, can I ask you on here?

You can! However I actually meant to send an email to:

info @ walkwithkings.com.au

(Without the spaces around the @ symbol)

But feel free to ask here!

Alright, I just feel if people search here, they may find some needed info. So, my questions are as follows, and I may have more as I make the character. What are good sizes to have for each scene? Should I have them the same size for the size of the background they're firing on or can they be their own size with the padding? And what kind of characters am I not allowed to make?

Deciding on the size of your sprite usually depends on the largest frame in each animation. If by 'scene' you mean the game's background, they definitely don't need to be that big! If you open up the:

<steam>/steamapps/Western Press/workshop/characters

directory, you can have a look at how the characters in game are all done. This is a good way of seeing how we've implemented them, and might give you ideas for setting up yours? If I'm misinterpreting the question just let me know!

In terms of character restrictions, the only thing I'd say is to keep it in 'good spirit'. Caricatures are fine, lewdness is fine, just refrain from anything malicious or inflammatory. We have no intention of taking characters down, but if something causes an uproar (and for a valid reason), then we'll have a look into it. I'm not quite sure where the line is, because I'm yet to imagine what could be so outrageous that we have to police it, but the internet always delivers I suppose! Also make sure that if your character contains mature content you tick the 'Mature' box when uploading it!

Did you have specific characters or ideas in mind? I could tell you whether or not I think there might be an issue with them?

I'm thinking of making Minecraft's Steve, just wanted to know if there was any rules against copyrighted characters, thank you for answering my question!

We don't have rules against copyrighted characters! If we were asked to take something down by the copyright holder we'd have to comply (I believe?), but for what is essentially fan art, that seems highly unlikely. So I say go for it!

:yay:
