Thanks. I was hesitant to use the old ones, since this game would be very boring if I simply re-used the sprites I had made before. And when I realized that I was getting better at making them toward the end of the work I was doing on the first game, I figured I should go back and re-draw them. I'm glad I did.
I was trying to find another sprite of just a girl looking straight forward but apparently that's impossibly rare these days. Most of these sprites are small and would not serve well when it came to small details. The other sprites from the game this one came from don't really lend themselves to editing.

personally i think it might be a bit of a challenge to make it lengthy; but petrification, plant TF, other inanimate objects, or rarely done animals might be a good idea.
I'd be more than willing to help in breaking down a TF into enough match cards if you'd like ^_^
almost forgot my animal suggestion......for some reason a frog might be interesting o.o'

I don't mind taking some of the animals themselves from the previous game, though I want to re-draw the sprites if I do. The old drawings were not done with this type of game in mind and are not up to my new standards.
With any suggestion for #1, I'm going to need a and b filled out too. I haven't drawn a frog yet before and it sounds interesting, but I'm going to need a list of parts and a list of quirks.

See above. With any animal suggestions, I will need a list of parts and a list of quirks.
The good thing about posting this in a community board is that these ideas can be bounced around for quite some time, too. So if several people want to see a cow, some those several people can also work around what parts to include on the cards and the quirks to have animated, and the others can work on the dialogue.
This is the kind of game I
can do alone but would rather handle in a community setting.

Thanks. Definitely tried harder this time to focus on 'cute'. Since the end result of all the cards is both a physical and mental change, it made sense to have her be cute to enjoy her new look.
---
I have some PMs I am going to reply directly to, but I guess I'll re-iterate this. The dialogue is based on the three mental states. In the cat game, she begins with being annoyed and irritated by the changes. When you pair a mental change card, she feels something change, but doesn't really understand it. Suddenly all of the changes seem like fun to her, and she's excited to see what's next. When you pair another mental change card, she "remembers" that she is your pet cat. All of her new dialogue lines are tailored for this.
Since this is completely dependent on when the player chooses these two mental cards, it is possible that the entire game is played while in one mental state. If you get one mental state pair right away and then miss out on the second one until the very last pair, she will be in the 2nd mental state for the entire game. If you miss out on all of the mental state cards the entire game, she will be scared / annoyed the entire game. If you get both of them right away, she will be a happy pet cat the entire game. The experience is really up to the player in this regard.
So, that's what the dialogue is. It's based on having three sets of emotions tied to the current change. However, I branched out a bit with the cat stage and have a bit more planned for the dog stage. If you get the stripes before you get the fur in the cat stage, she will comment on how it doesn't look right yet. If you get the stripes after you get the fur, she will comment on how she looks completed. These unique dialogue sequences can also be planned out by the person/group of people writing them.
As it is, the basic requirement for each one is 36 lines of dialogue. Pretty simple, really.
Card 1: mental state 1 reaction
Card 1: mental state 2 reaction
Card 1: mental state 3 reaction
...
Card 12: mental state 1 reaction
Card 12: mental state 2 reaction
Card 12: mental state 3 reaction
Though the mental cards themselves in the cat stage give the same reaction regardless of the order you pick them and only have two lines each, so it's more like 32 lines of dialogue.
