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
- Character creation
- Character attribute modifications
- Character skills and magic management
- 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
- Experience scripting in Godot
- GUI design skill
- Willingness to stick with a long-running project
