In my previous post I gave a quick overview and introduction to The game is moving forward nicely with many new users signing up. If you have not signed up yet check out my previous post for instructions.
A great FAQ here which covers many common questions.

And a link to the official website.

In this post I will be showing some suggestions I have for how the character is displayed and the user interface of the character equipment screen in the game. Keep in mind these are only my suggestions as a beta tester for this game so there are no guarantees that any of this will be implemented into the game. So this is my DISCLAIMER to the readers of this post, that there is no guarantee that any of these ideas will end up in the game.
Character Equipment Screen
So, lets look at the character equipment screen I am suggesting for the game.
As you can see in the screenshot above, this is simply just the screen for all the current items that your character you have created in the game has equipped. There are shadow outlines of what type of item can be placed in each spot.
The above screenshot just shows a diagram of what items each spot represents and the bottom button is just a new menu item for a separate character equipment screen.
Character Display
One of the most important aspects of most MMORPGames is the ability to create a unique character you play as. This is done by gathering/creating items in the game for your character to equip, there needs to be a way to display this uniqueness visually. So for my next suggestion I think the character you use in the STEEMPUNK-NET game should be displayed on your blog page.
In the screenshot above you can see character displayed on his blog homepage. So everyone who is playing STEEMPUNK-NET and has the plugin installed and enabled when they visit
https://steemit.com/@dehenne
or the homepage of any other player, will see their unique character they have created displayed as shown in the screenshot.
Now lets combine this concept with the character equipment screen and put a few items on our character. Here are a few items I will equip our character with.
Now as we place those items on the character equipment screen the character will wear them.
As you can see I have equipped the character with a helm, shoulder armor, pants, and a weapon and the items appear on the character for everyone to see. As more items are introduced into the game and as players can craft their own items this will create the ability to create unique looking characters, users of the game can create.
As with most games of this type every item has unique features and attributes which benefit your character, these attributes will be displayed when you hover your mouse pointer over the item as shown in the screenshot below.
In Summation
As you can see from my suggestions above I am not reinventing the wheel here, just simply suggesting things that many similar games have had throughout the years. Once again keep in mind that these are simply my suggestions and ideas as a beta tester of this game and there is NO GUARANTEE any of this will be implemented in the game.
In future posts I will share more ideas regarding user interface and game play for this project. Thanks for reading :)
