Glad you enjoyed it!
You can retain thhe pig form by using a yellow medkit after you achieved dronification, but before being moved.
Medkits will be reworked. Right now they clear drone/horny state, but in cases like the pig drone, that happens very late, and leaves players very short window to escape. As such they will instead also prevent gaining this state, which will make them usable earlier. And there will be new ones which will allow players to get into that state or have it permanently without dronification event chains or other gameplay loops that may result in an intended softlock. But this is plenty of work and programing so I am not sure yet when these changes will be made, and whether they will be in a single patch or spread across multiple ones.
As for mounting other drones, the game is meant from a sub perspective. But it would make sense for the player to be able to initiate it as well, so I will think about it! The other animation you mention came from free YCH winners, but technically I could just redraw whole thing for the protagonist. You can technically enter that area as say a pooltoy and then use a medkit, though no interactions are there yet. As with most interactions, it's a question of time. I plan to retroactively add more interactions to existing creatures one day.

Thanks for the reply! Just to clarify what I meant with mounting the pig drones. The sub perspective is definitely a core trait of the game which I totally agree with. I should be the one mounted by drones, not the other way around. What I meant is, when I get dronified into a pig drone, there are certain options/interactions you can do as a pig drone (z - eat slop, c - rub bulge, x - squeal). If I remember correctly, when being held in the area, either the mask or the conversion task's encouraged you to have sex with other pigs, which made me assume, to completely change into a pig drone(softlock state), you'd need to either get mounted or mount one of the pig drones. This would be the perfect execution for the intended softlock. Before that, you could simply use a medkit to prevent from being softlocked. Similarly, to your response about the YCH winners, I had the idea of entering the pig area without the dronification process itself to try getting mounted -> transformed just like the YCH winners. To test this out, I tried using the wolf drone to get there and used the blue medkit after. This allowed me to freely walk around the area but unfortunately, I could not really do much besides leaving. Would love to see you add the option to initiate sex or get randomly jumped and transformed by the pigs after a certain amount of time spent in that area. Oh and one last thing I forgot to mention, are we getting content with the purple dragon-drones in the future? Really wanted to try them out!
I understood what you meant. It would make sense for mounting to be interpreted as proving obedience, though I think it's fine as is. The part with getting as a human into the calibration room actually escaped me as I just assumed you can't do that. It's been pointed out in the past, so yeah, it would make sense to add this TF there, but we will see.
As for the lizards and other future content, it will come in due time. For now the skunks won first community vote. I still have to add patches, then add skunk content, and in the meantime I will think whether each update will be a vote or whether, for instance, next update will be chosen by me but some elements will be subject to a vote. It's also important to avoid mistakes of Mojang, so that votes unify the community rather than divide them. That's why it's multiple choice and why all content is eventually planned to be added. As for when these lizards will be added, who knows. I want them to have interfacility tasks, so I reckon a larger map would be needed first.
Alright great! Thanks for clearing it out, really excited to see the skunks being added into the game, watersports aren't explored enough in other games but this could potentially make a great addition to the watersports community. I also noticed one of the toilets in the restroom were being "used". Did you think about making it interactive? Maybe a small tip!
Last thing I forgot to mention, there's a bug when you pull the "gate" lever with the 5 second countdown whilst being chased by the eye, after you pull down the level and exit the screen the eye will teleport you to the pig dronification process but you can freely walk away. It does not just end there, as you can walk pretty much all around the map, phasing through solid blocks. I somehow even ended up being teleported to a yellow area with no content in it.
