Flash CS6 or higher. The templates are in FLA format, and the finished character needs to be exported as a SWF.

Inside each of the templates, there is a sample character on the stage that is split up into editable parts. Most of the parts are very simple: just double click to go into the part, redraw/modify it, and that's it! Some of the parts have some weird features, but I've tried to explain them with comments and notes inside the template.

There is also a little bit of code on the stage that you can use to determine a character's preferences and a few of their size-related traits. You can also specify artist information, which will help me determine who is helping create content for the game and provide proper attribution if I decide to share the character / integrate them into the game.

When you're done editing the character, just compile/publish the FLA to a SWF, then pull that SWF into the game like any other custom character. Once you're happy with the character, you can upload/share the SWF so other people can use it.

Anyone. Have fun! :D

Nope! Totally free. I always appreciate donations / patreon support, but they are not required. I figure that letting people add their own content to the game just makes the game better. It's a win/win situation.

Rack supports characters that are generally humanoid in appearance and anatomy (2 arms, 2 legs, humanoid proportions). You are welcome to try absolutely any body style that you'd like; I just can't promise that it will work.

Obey the law. Don't draw characters you don't own / have permission to draw. Don't draw anything illegal. I'd prefer that you didn't draw anything disturbing/shocking/gross, but I guess I don't really care, as long as it's not illegal.

I take absolutely no responsibility for what you do with the templates. The template files are provided as-is. If you do stupid shit and get yourself in trouble, I will not be there to help you.

Sure! It would be kinda cool if you sent me a small cut of the commission money (10% maybe?), but I really don't care. Just don't make any false/misleading claims about who made the game, who made the templates, etc. Be honest, and there won't be any problems.

I guess this really just depends on whether or not people want me to. I think I'd prefer to spend my time working on the game itself, for a little while, but I might still auction off characters from time to time.

Maaaaybe. Send me a link to the finished character.

You don't relinquish any of your IP rights, and you remain the owner of the character's copyright. You do, however, provide me a few licenses:

• You give me permission to use your character SWF, which includes taking/sharing screenshots and video, but only if your character has already been made available online. I won't use characters you're still working on / using locally. If you include artist information in the character's code, I will try to credit you when I share screenshots/video of the character.
• You give me permission to rehost and share your character, but only if your character has already been made available online. I won't rehost characters you're still working on / using locally. If you include artist information, I will credit you when I share the character.
• You give me permission to use remote analytics to track the use of your character so I can see when it's available online and where it's hosted.

• I'm a curious little bastard, and I like to see what people are doing with the game
• It's good to know which characters / fetishes are popular, so I can pander to the right crowd
• If a character is good enough, I might want to add it to the game / my gallery

Nope. Everything is tracked anonymously. We use google analytics, which collects some very basic information about your internet connection and ISP, but no personal/identifying information.
