CharMan3E

CharMan3E is a is a Shadowrun character creation and management tool written using the Godot game engine. The Godot game engine was chosen for it's easy cross-platform compatibility and GUI creation toolkit.

Overview

CharMan3E was started after many hours spent creating Shadowrun characters. Since creating a Shadowrun character was so time consuming, I figured the only thing I could do to make it easier was spend more time building a tool to make a character than it would ever take me to create hundreds of Shadowrun characters. This decision was, of course, a good one.

CharMan3E is a cross-platform (Linux, Mac, Windows) tool that is still in active development. The code is currently unavailable for others to view (in a private repo) and will remain so until it's 1.0.0 release. I chose to do so since I wish to make the tool myself before opening it up for others to critique and/or help develop it.

As of version 0.4.2, it has the following features

  1. Character creation
  2. Character attribute modifications
  3. Character skills and magic management
  4. Character spells and spirits addition/management

Development has been slow on this due to work, university classes/homework, and other projects (such as my Shadowrun Quotesite).

CharMan3E demonstrates the following

  1. Experience scripting in Godot
  2. GUI design skill
  3. Willingness to stick with a long-running project
