As we know, RPG Maker MV brought in a nice character editor. However, adding new assets is somewhat challenging if you don't know exactly how the numbering of items is made. Even by knowing it, it is annoying to deal with a specific naming of files in order to make sure to not mess up everything. Also, there is no option for the addition of new colors, only gimmicks to replace the current gradients.

After thinking about it for a while, and seeing as no specific project has been achieved on this topic yet, I decided to give it a go. I'm currently coding an extended version of the character generator, currently for Microsoft Windows operating system though. The first release of the editor is completed. But, please note that this is a alpha version, so several bugs probably exist. I'm counting on you guys to find them so I can fix that as soon as possible !
