NPC 012: Hot air balloon (Patreon)

Seems all that hot air has finally gotten to her and turned her into a blimp! Or a hot air balloon. Though Aria has the lovely idea of turning her into a hot air balloon to travel.

Should be noted, I don't think this will actually be a form of travel in the game. I might be able to just make it so after you inflate her, she hovers around like this and you can just jump into the basket. Though I could certainly see about adding something in like that. Just because they're a voted on NPC doesn't mean I shouldn't integrate them into the story a bit right?

Was considering making Twelve become a massive blimp and actually having her carry a whole ship under her, but the amount of effort that would require would be more significant. I suppose if it's heavily desired closer to the end of development that I could have her become the balloon portion of a dirigible while still being the captain and take you to like a hidden area or something. Would still need to be a bit small of a ship or like, make her ridiculously large or slightly more oblong.

Either way, this was really fun working on her! I really like how she came out and I enjoyed inflating her!Edit: I added in another inflation animation of her with her hat flopping off.
