FINAL UPDATE! (probably...)
I have moved all of the combat, outfit, and hairstyle add-ons INTO this asset. They are now FREE for anyone who owns the Base. That's right, this one asset pack contains EVERYTHING I have ever made for the Character Base:
- The Character Base
- The Hairstyle Pack add-on
- All 3 combat add-ons (Bow, Spear, and Sword & Shield)
- All 7 outfit add-ons
I am also dropping the regular price to $19.99!
After some long soul searching I have decided to close the book on the Mana Seed Character Base in its current form. I have been unhappy with it for a long time, but I've been hesitant to take any action so as not to upset those who love it as it is and have already implemented it into their game. I know some people will be upset about this decision (and you have every right to be), but it's just not an effective use of my time to work on this anymore. I will not be updating the outfits that don't yet have combat compatibility, nor will I be adding the other 5 hairstyles I had planned. For that, I'm sorry! I hope putting all of this in one pack and lowering the price will earn me your forgiveness 🙏 If there are any artists interested in freelancing some outfits or haitstyles in my stead, please leave your information below so that others may reach out to you!
The truth is I've learned so much since I originally made the Character Base two and a half years ago, and I see so many problems with how it is designed and laid out. I lost focus on what the Base should have been. I did not foresee the tremendous labor requirements of updating all those outfits when I add new Base animations, and the whole thing has just got away from me. I don't like the end result, and I want to do better, so I'll be revamping the Character Base into something new to be announced at a later date. Something that's more streamlined, easier to work with, and made with Stardew Valley style gameplay in mind.
I am planning no further updates to this product. You have everything I made for it here in one package. My Character Base may reemerge in a different form someday, but this one here will remain frozen in stone. Please enjoy it as you see fit, I look forward to seeing all your wonderful games 🤗💚

"and made with Stardew Valley style gameplay in mind"
Interesting, any demo/sample to show? I'm looking for that style specifically.
