Silver Sketches and Misaki Additions
It's been a busy week for many of us, whether that means making 70 different expression files for npc genderbends, or something not game progress related. I DID mention before that we are giving a purely beta test for the genderbends, so I have converted Miko's 10 conversations into Misaki's. Now, speaking to Miko will prompt a gender check and pull up the appropriate menu for the first dialogue level. The same is being done for Tomoko, so that is going to be wrapped up soon.
I'm sure you have noticed by now that Silo, aka Bloodlust-Silver has joined us officially on the page. And he comes bearing gifts:
These are all the concepts he has sketched out for Silver's genderbend form. We have varying degrees of approval for each of them, mainly specific parts from all three of the shown ones...
Once a final form has been decided on, you can count on Silo putting up a preview here so you can all catch a glimpse.
I'm coming through, nothing to lose!
ReplyDeleteBesides my dignity and any respect I may or may not receive if anyone finds out I'm commenting on a page for a porn game. Still worth it.
I'd welcome Silo, but I'm the outsider here, not the other way around. It'd be like invading a guy's house to steal porn magazines and saying "welcome" when he came back.
N-Not that I speak from experience. I-I mean, who the hell would do that, right? Hahaha...
And now for my opinion, which means I'll say "I" a lot more than usual.
I'd use Concept #6 or a similar variation for a female Silver. The characters already look impossibly youthful (Izuna's 27?!), so might as well keep the trend going on. The hairstyle's nice, but the ears are a bit too long for any practical purpose, so I would make them 20 cm smaller.
I'd also keep her, umm, "assets" small since Izuna's the only one with that "trait" by default, so it would be nice to have another one. It also creates the opportunity for a friendship based on, err, "weaknesses", which means more cutscenes.
Concept #3 looks like a very strict headmistress wearing improper clothing, and Concept #7 seems out of place, I guess. It's probably the glasses.
And since I kind of need to leave useless suggestions everytime I comment, how about being able to choose every character's gender from the beginning?
It's something like this: If I choose Misaki, he (she?) would have been born male on the playthrough, which is shown through some slight dialogue changes. And since equality is a wonderful thing, you wouldn't have to worry about his (her?) relationship with a male or female Silver, independent of their genders.
The whole "gender of birth" stuff may also be useful for flags. As in, if Miko/Misaki has a scene where she/he talks about "past experiences", she/he would talk about one thing if she/he was born female and another thing if she/he was born male, independent of the gender at the time. It would also affect stuff like Tenshi/Tomoko being surprised his/her sister/brother changed genders.
SO. MANY. SLASHES. Glad I'm done.
And now I shall bid you adieu. I must prepare a feast for the hobos using the turkeys we silently captured from a nearby farm. I should expect either an incredibly tasty meal or a massive skirmish. Wish me luck!
I personally agree with concept 6, as it has been the one I preferred out of the given sketches. The design I make of fem Silver will probably be 6, but with slight changes to things like the jacket and ears. We were actually discussing ear changes for both genders, as Silo has drawn Silver with wolf ears in the past instead of his pointy ones. The wolf ears would make more sense, given the overall theme of the other npcs. We will worry about this once I have some designs sketched out.
DeleteHeyyyy...I THOUGHT I recognized you! I never did get my magazines back, stuck to internet porn after that day. People tend to have less success stealing the stuff on my hard drive.
After reading the suggestion about gender birth, it does seem far easier than starting a game and having to go get x amount of potions just to get the preferred genders of each npc. However, I really wanted to stick to the main storyline that I had for them all, and that they were still born their default genders. This suggestion could go either way, though.
