Practice Your 3DDGH Skills

So, you’ve read our review and now you want to practice making your own 3D Dot Game Hero, er, hero before the game launches?  Well, the guys at Southpeak got you covered, because you can do exactly that, right here.

“Ever wanted to save a kingdom as a walking pineapple?” asks the press release. “What about rescuing a princess playing as a zombie with one arm? Perhaps you just want to see a psychedelic badger wearing a fez swinging a huge sword that’s actually a fish (in fact, who hasn’t wanted to see that?). Well, thanks to 3D Dot Game Heroes’ fantastic character editor, you can create your own hero pixel by pixel and the only restriction is your blocky imagination. You can also trade designs with friends via a compatible USB storage device.”

You can even save your hero as an animated forum avatar, an image to add a dash of retro to your Facebook or Twitter page and a desktop wallpaper.  You can’t import your creations into the game, mind, but you can certainly get a feel for just how cool the character editor is before you get your hands on the game itself on May 14th.

We want screengrabs.  In the comments.  Do it.
