That all looks great, I wish I didn't stop spriting now :|


Thats a lute or some stringed instrument right?
Does this mean there will be some kind of musing playing ability?

Does this mean we're going to have distinct job classes now? It looks like it's Ragnarok Online all over again, though it's not.

Definitely not. H&H will remain essentially free form. This is just me starting a program to bring some coherence to the garment industry. We've basically been implementing gear on whim thus far, and I'd like to try to establish some sense of general direction.

Basically. :)

So how will the music work?
Will there be preset music ingame, or will we have to use MML to make our own tunes?

Looking good! We need more stuff to make people uniquer.

I would reallly like it if a music-playing dynamic was in, :).

Staffs? More axes? Instruments? Spears?

Dyed hair? Clothes?

Awesome!

(I know B12 already got a gimmick item, but can the instrument require stone to make please?)

Actually, we've been considering adding a Guitar Hero-like interface to lute-playing, the well playing of which would actually grant benefits to characters in the audible area (the exact benefits depending on the song). If implemented well, I think it would be a heckload of fun, so that good bards for playing battle songs and farming ballades would be a great benefit to any group.

Unfortunately, the ease with which it could be cheated through probably means that the idea is stillborn, but it would have been fun.
