i wanna help contribute
how would i do such a thing
I'm not really looking for anyone to help out at the moment, but if you want you can mess around with making sprite sets/skins. You can preview how they'd look in game with the character editor in the OP.
When the game gets closer to release I'm going to try and include a couple cool skin packs by default.
I started messing around with the way text is displayed in game, in an attempt to draw attention to it I added a final fantasy 1 style chat box.

The goal is to trick people into reading, in the testing I did many many many people were not reading anything due to it being so small.
