Sooo.... Took me way longer than expected due to some last moment thinking...

So first, let's talk about the Roots Editor itself. This version includes 4 new tabs: Attributes, Skills, Genealogy and Household.

Attribute and Skill are both tabs you should be used to, nothing new here. The labels have tooltips to give more information about what they do and the relation between skills and attribute for transparency. In the future, I'll add hooks so that skills and attributes can impact the various formula or situations in game. For example, the classic Sneaking and Lockpicking skills would be added and you already know what they'll do and which attributes they'll rely on ;)

The genealogy tab allows you to choose the father, mother and spouse (cf main post image). Siblings and Children are displayed automatically but step-sibling/child are not. Any slot can be left empty if wanted and the game might fill it with a randomly generated character during playthrough if required. One thing that dawned on me a bit late was the famous "No Incest" rule on Patreon, meaning I had to check the characters relations. Let me tell you it was a mess to code and delayed me more than expected... But it should be working now, no incest allowed in Glassix 2 (except if you modify the game config file in which case I'm not responsible for your action, nor is Patreon :D). Not sure if that's something to brag about ahah ;)

The last tab is the household tab, another late realization on my part. This will allow the game to know how you want to split your family, shoving the grandparents in their own decrepit apartment while the rest of the family will enjoy their life in a luxurious villa :D

For people who played The Sims, you should see some similarities ;) There will be more tabs in the future, like Preferred Outfits, poses, character traits, owned businesses or buildings etc... And they won't be naked anymore (if wanted) :D

I'll add a proper documentation on the website or in-game interface to condense all the information about the game and make it easy to access since a lot of what I'm doing can be confusing for new players. 

My aim is also to make the UI as user-friendly as possible which is why I've added an input next to all sliders to see the actual value and change it this way if needed. Later on, I'll add more tooltips to be as clear as possible, for example, why some cards might not show in a slot (maybe due to the incest rule, or the character not being old enough to be a parent etc...) or give more information about the relations of each card (how many children, married or not, relation to current character etc...). But all this takes time to code so I'll need more time. I hope the current interface will not feel to shabby to your tastes ;)

Even if once more this version doesn't allow you to "play" the game, I hope you'll give it a shot. Next version will be the one ;) Don't hesitate to give me feedback if you think something could be more user-friendly since I'd like Glassix 2 to feel like a good quality game.

Thanks for your patience and support as always!
