New GearHead Caramel Character Creator
I’ve been working on a new character generator for GearHead Caramel. This one is completely widgetified, and can be accessed using the mouse or the keyboard. Take a look at the video to see everything it can do. I’m hoping to make the first release of DeadZone Drifter, the GHC endless play campaign, before the …

GH1v1.310: Thin Walls for All!
I’ve just uploaded GearHead-1 v1.310. There are some bug fixes, some UI tweaks, and some new graphics.

The kit includes an info sheet (featuring this lovely 1980s style cover), the mecha parts, and a set of optional decals which you can use to customize your ride.

More Papercraft
Turns out that the papercraft BuruBuru was very popular at Comic World Seoul, so I’ve given it a friend for next time. I am currently getting pdfs for these two models put together, and will upload them to itch.io and DriveThruRPG. I think I’m all papercrafted out now, so I really really hope to release …
