Site Updates
As of today, we will officially start providing an easily accessible list of
updates to HCUnits.net! We recognize that not all the changes to site are
immediately obvious to our users, and having this list allows people to see
what we've been working. It also will provide an archive of changes that have
been made in the past, in case anyone is curious to go back and look for
features the might not know about!
To take a look, just click here:
Custom Unit Creation
We've had a link to a Custom Unit creator for quite a while, but honestly it
was little more than a debugging tool. However, this has now officially
changed!
We're proud to announce that the Custom Unit creator is now of comparable
functionality to our Team Builder! Custom Units will render in real-time
you make changes to them and are automatically saved to your account along
with any changes that you make while you're working on them. Additionally,
they can easily be shared with others via URL, just like with teams!
To try it out for yourself, click here:
We support all the different unit types that you can find in HCUnits.net,
including Characters, Objects, Equipment, etc.
Here's an example of one that we recently created of George Massu
to celebrate one of the all-time greatest HeroClix champions!
Image Improvements
We're also excited to share that we've made a number of significant graphics
improvements to HCUnits.net! If you have a sharp, discerning eye, you may
have already noticed them!
First, we've upgraded most of our icons from raster to vector images. This
means that when you zoom into the image, the team and improved ability and
combat symbols will stay super-sharp! Kudos to
Jeremiah Peterson and
Jonathan Virgillio for their help!
Second, we've upgraded the images and fonts in many other parts of the unit
card so they appear much closer to the original version you find in your
HeroClix boosters! They will also be much sharper as you zoom in!
Kudos to André Salgado and the team at
Clix Maker for their help!
