How does everyone feel about dynamic weight gain being noncanon?
Added 2022-07-08 23:00:37 +0000 UTCI'm talking about the ability for the player to walk around and pick what size and shape they are at any given time and it's impact on the story (specifically the art)
I've been running into issues with sprites and cutscenes where a character needs to be one size or shape, but the player may be a different size and shape, and making art for every possible size shape combo isn't realistic.
Nothing would really change other than I add dialog to the game mentioning that the player overworld sprite is only for your own preference as a cosmetic skin and whatever art in the cutscene is actually how the character looks in the story at the minuet.

i know this is an old conversation at this point but as a new patron i'm only seeing this now. i guess i just wanted to ask if it would be possible in the future to have an option for more, "lore" accurate bodies i guess? like as an option when you start the game or something, dunno. i imagine this would be a lot of work, honestly probably not even worth it. it's not a huge deal but it definitely takes me out of it a bit when a characters current size is plot important and isn't reflected in the game world. or in a cutscene they're one size and suddenly another as soon as it ends. i imagine it's a weird conflict since weight/size is also a game mechanic. digging the game a lot. sorry for the text wall.

2022-07-10 09:19:27 +0000 UTCwhy not set up size checkpoints, like they can only pass through if they is this small or large, but im not a game dev so i dont know if this will be easy to implement

2022-07-09 01:53:19 +0000 UTCI might be in the minority, but I like how the different sizes are responded to in the story, so making it non-canon would suck some of the fun out for me.

2022-07-09 01:14:38 +0000 UTCI am kind of in the same boat with what DH said. BUTT, I also would want the game YOU envisioned to be the final product we get to enjoy.

2022-07-09 00:19:01 +0000 UTCI do find the bellies get a bit boring after a while. So I’ll put on one of the skins to make things more interesting. But I do like the more extreme shapes in the cutscenes and bad ending. I wouldn’t want the skins to interfere with those.

2022-07-09 00:12:38 +0000 UTCPersonally I like the choice. My only request would be to possibly implement sizes larger than the current "___: fat" or "___: fat nude" options. But I'm sure that takes time, and ultimately it's just a suggestion.
