BannedStory

I've found a character simulator called BannedStory, and it's based on the game MapleStory. You can find it at http://www.maplesim.com/app/index.html It's quite complicated, but fiddle around a bit and you'll soon get the hang of it. Here are some quick pointers:

1. You'll need layers. If you want to create a character/mob/effect/pet/chat bubble, you'll need a layer. If you don't have a layer, you can't add anything.

2. To remove objects or clothing, click the tiny plus sign by the side of the character you want to delete the object from. It will make a list of all the objects; find the unwanted piece and click the little dustbin and it will go.

3. You can also animate your picture. Click the little blueish window (above the plus sign) and you will get a drop-down list of all the pose options. Pick which one you want, and then select 'animate character' and, hey presto, your character is animated.

Here are some examples of my work on the simulator (Remember: to enlarge the images, simply click them.)
