Essentially that; I'm fiddling with it trying to make my "ideal" horse but I had no way of knowing how tall it was.

I believe the person is around 5'6" for comparison. I normally just make it as big as it can be and still fit in the screen so I can see what I'm doing with the conformation points.
Signature? I don't need no stinkin' signature! Everybody knows who I am already!

There is no person on the demo. And in-game the horses and the person are on different planes, so it's difficult to go by that.
Sometimes I scale the horse up to work on the details, but I always like to see what it would actually look like; it helps me decide if the horse is too heavy or light for its size.

I can add in a person to the demo later on to help with size reference.

Could the size function be represented in hands instead of the sliding scale?
And will roan, dun, etc. be added at some point?

Eventually the demo will be updated to be full functioned, but for now I think it's better to focus on the rest the game. I threw the demo together very quickly to demonstrate the potential for the game as part of our kickstarter marketing. The plan though is to connect the demo to the full game once we are ready to launch and backers will be able to use that to create their custom horses, and customize their adoption center foals.
