i think will will have unique punishment forms before we start spreading thier curses, but these are both things we would like to do if we have enough time! it's still pretty low priority though.
not quite. i wouldn't say we've ranked combo forms in terms of the theme. its moreso about how often they come up in the same run together. akarion gethra reese and maggie will certainly get some minor tfs by the end.
so those would be what we call "combo forms", which do happen alot, but not all the time. a good example would be spy + muscle growth rhianna, who uses a new base AND can have 2 stages of breast expansion on top of it. there's pretty much unlimited combinations, so we cant say all of them will get attention, but we hope to get all the important/common ones, like courtswaps and such.
anything that doesn't use a new base is considered a minor TF . muscle and fat gain used to be minor TFs in older versions, but we felt that not changing the posture did them a disservice
we have in the past! but it does take a few extra steps, (more work in the long run). for one, sketches can't use layered elements without specified rigging for them (expression overlays and minor transformations require pretty pixel exact measurements to be seamless). developing that sort of stuff for sketch artwork is possible, but most of the work has to be replaced when the assets are re-done.
the other aspect is the backgrounds. imparagon's clipping issues are less noticeable because the backdrops are primarily white, so you don't notice when there are errors in the fill layers. it would be more feasable is fall of royale harem's backdrops were also sketches, but the variety in tones and shades makes mistakes quite obvious.
in all likelyhood, we will do sketches again when we need to cover alot of ground, but will avoid using overlays for these reasons (for example, we might sketch out draconoclast muscle rhianna, but it won't come with BE or Melon minor tfs). the reception wasn't great the last time we did them, but we'll see.
we hope to have an even distribution at the end of the project! but right now it's mostly decided by community votes and such, so we tend to play to the majority preference.
we plan to base our endings structure on how Fallout New Vegas does them. a lil collage with a glimpse of each impact made by the cast. maybe a few post credit scenes after that for specific scenarios for players to hunt down!
it will probably be a good 4 more updates until we're ready to add some propper endings. we mainly want to make sure that mingle phase 5 is fully decked out with tons of winner driven transformations before we wrap things up!
we don't plan on doing any dlc, it's just an idea. we want to focus on the core content before branching out into other stuff. it's mainly a joke, but the idea is: if we section off areas of content like "twinning" or "innanimate TFs" and save those for potential DLCs, we can save ourselves a bit of work for now while still paying heed to everyone's requests. Ideally, we can save nicher fetishes (that not everyone is into) for their own content packs after we finish the main game. if you aren't into innanimate TFs for example, you don't have to get the pack they come in, or have to pay for them as a part of the core game. it's mainly a way for our team of 2 devs to put off content until we have our core premise finished lol.
whenever we say "that's something we'd save for a DLC" we basically mean it falls outside the intended scope of the MASSIVE workload we've already set for ourselves.
we uploaded an older version to serve as our web playable substitute. it won't have all the features that the versions available in the downloads section do, but it's better than nothing!
yea we don't have much of a plan tbh. it's mostly just what we feel will work best and/or are most excited for in the moment. but we do get a ton of ideas from our community discord.
possibly! and no, we usually come up with the harem forms based on the themes we think will be the strongest. the patreon votes for which character gets a harem form next!
no clue lol. we're focussed on harem forms first, then we'll pivot to endings and such. we tend to run the YCHs around big milestones or our aniversary.
again, most of them are just covering for logical statements. its just easier to structure the code as if every possible form could exist rather than returning to every logic gate each time we add a new form.
