I wanna try to improve my scripting skills by making a custom character customization i wanna make a squared character like this game Button Royal But i don’t know how i can start on this project i am searching alot on the dev forum and youtube but i can only find normal customization things that is just the normal character but not a square if you can help me can you try telling me or giving me something how i can create this?

btw it need to save with a datastore but idk how cause if i am gonna do it with a datastore i will create 100000 value’s and that will give me an error so help me please if you can.

If you mean avatar customization in-game, then you can use the AvatarEditorService. The link goes to the DevHub’s article on it.

I recommend you check out this article on Data Stores: Data Stores | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Also you should create a custom serializer if you want to save the player character data. Here’s another article for that: How to save parts, and the idea of Serialization.

They will help you understand the actual character model works and how to rig your character.
