Goes to show that I shouldn't do work right before I go to bed.

Just so's you know, my folder is much more cluttered with all these extra files for when I was making sprites and other things. So I would have had to remove all the extra stuff, trying to remember which ones were actually extra, and then pack it.

Considering that you're doing all this work, I really, really appreciate it, and it's inspiring me to get on an update faster.

Anywho, I do have a question. We have an option for more linearity or less linearity... do you guys care about dialogue that much? Here's the deal- I want it to be possible to lose party members due to enslavement or capture. However, I don't want to rewrite all the possible dialogue scenes for having 3, then 2 members... that would take a lot of time...

One possibility is to have traps that would convert your teammates, then at the boss, they are helping the boss to seduce you.

Another possibility is when the CC maxes, the girl gets seduced then you cycle through another party member. This might be a pain to code but it's do-able. Or, a chance of passing off the holy rock, as in each additional party member gives a 75% chance of not losing immediately, but there's a small chance that the rock is lost and they are done for.

Lemme know your ideas... I really want to have enslavement of multiple party members but not have to triple or quadruple the time it'll take to release.

Yup, i think the first opt better... where your ex-teammate helpin during boss battle to seduce you... And of course, i would love to see some combination move between the boss and the enslaved one... the gameover scene could be the same, i think...

I too didn't like the same dialogue, if it can't be avoid, how about make a skip opt?

not mutually exclusive- when you lose party members, they fight you at the boss...

Now that I'm actually working on my own project in RPG Maker (XP though... don't know how you can stand 2003), I can see just how annoying it is to work with it. I think both choices are going to be a pain to code.

What about having the party get split up and each have to go through a mini-dungeon? The ones who fail along the way end up as servants to the "boss".

To be honest I was going to do something similar to that with my own game but decided not to.

Mmmmm... it would be a pain in the ass, wouldn't it. Yeah, rm is bad for that, haha.

I suppose, then, select traps are probably the best. Like story events in the dungeon where they can get converted.

Whatever you do, just promise us there will be more actual transformation this time.

The catgirl makeover scenes in the first release or two were spot-on, but the off-screen TF with a text exposition in the next major release felt like something of a cop-out, especially when seeing that there are sprite sheets for monstergirl versions of the girls in the image folder.

Also, I have a headache (?・ω・)

What?

I don't plan on making every bad ending a transformation. But I do have some good ideas in store.

I do need people to let me know their preference for the 'party' system.

That's all I can ask for. My services as editor are still up for grabs if you want them. To be honest, there's not so much dialogue and text that it would take days to go over or anything. Also, I hate being a cheerleader on the sidelines, and I'd like to contribute.

Vote for me.

In all seriousness, I made the sprites for him after his most recent release. They're only in your folder because they were in my MonstergirlQuest folder when I posted the bug-fixed version. They should be in the next release, to the best of my knowledge. I mean, that's why he asked us to help him make the sprites in the first place =p

ps - holy hell the animations take forever and a day to do. I do not recommend even bothering with custom animations unless you seriously have nothing better to do with your time (as I do). The first one I did (a bunny) took me about 8 hours of work, not to mention about 3 hours of just staring at it trying to make it look right. I'm cheating by using existing sprites in the RMXP program as the start and end states, but it's still a lot of work, especially since I can't custom-make the ending this way and have to conform it to a specific color scheme and position. Fortunately for you all, I've abandoned the catgirl/bunnygirl style and am just going human->animal.

pps - I'm only posting about this here because I don't want to start a whole new thread just to talk about a game I'm working on since the likelihood of it coming out any time soon is low. So far I've written the base story and two TFs. Only animated one.

Sorry to ninja =p

Also, I love you, and the offer stands for you as well. :3

Editing is what I do best. It's creativity that I lack.

No worries. You have a shitload of karma and brownie points and AP/MP from me for those sprites (which are not included in my last version, haha I will need to start doing changes on your release ).

Animations... you mean battle anims? Or just animations. Yeah, they are a buttfuck. I initially wanted to have a normal battle system and animations. Bad idea. One animation took me about 6 hours. The timing is so weird. You need to repeat a frame 30 times for it not to be too fast.
