TOTDC 2: another art preview, and more questions (NSFW) (Patreon)

So, here is another art preview for TOTDC 2. We got a bunch of backgrounds, as you can see. One is for the city map, one is for the VR room you already kind of saw previously, and the rest are for the first mission (fun fact, I'll probably recycle the corridor when applicable, I have some "props" already there, like doors being open or closed, and I plan to have more decorations so I can make them look a bit more different whenever I re-use the background).

We can also see Piper's new look (I think she is awesome) and one of the first bad guys you'll be able to encounter. Of course, the main course here is the scene with said bad guy. No gif this time, just an all or nothing kind of deal for the customization, to show off the main idea.

As mentioned in the previous preview, I tried to see if reducing the number of possible breast sizes (from 3 to 2) and tattoos per area (from 4 to 2) would be a big enough cut to make everything fit in one commission, and my artist seems to think so. I could recycle some of the previously seen tattoos for the other arm, maybe. This way, we could feature all the customizations in all the scenes. I also prepared a little, neat way to automate displaying the layers for each scene, so it only requires some extra work on my part to name the images appropriately. I think this is a good enough compromise, but let me hear what you think (and if you like the art, of course).

This time around, I went for Celeste's "normal" size and then for large (for her breasts). I was thinking about putting out a poll to decide if we'll use the large or medium size for the alternative, do you guys care enough to pick between the two sizes, or should I just continue like this? I picked large for the test because I figured anyone who would go for breast enhancement in the game would probably go for big rather than medium, but I might be completely wrong. XD

Also, for the customization, are you interested in voting for which tramp stamps I should commission or other such things? Do you have any type of customization you really care for that I didn't discuss so far? Now's the time to talk about this, since I have to lock in the customization soon, so the scope is set in stone and doesn't cause me unexpected problems later on.

Well, that was a long post. I hope everyone who's interested will chime in, like last time, so I can refresh my memory on what are your opinions and how to move forward. I hope you'll like the art, and appreciate the discussion. :)

/me looks into the horizon with hopeful eyes

You are 100% right re: Celeste’s bosom. If anyone is going to be down for transforming her to be less of a bounty hunter and more of a trophy wife, they’ll want the larger chest.

Egg

P.S. I also love that Celeste is able to go blonde. Going to custom art was a very wise choice! It’ll really let people make Celeste into the Bimbo she was only implied to be in TOTDC.

mdqp

I certainly hope so. I had to pick one for the test, so if we stick with this we won't have to re-do the variation. Also, I personally like big chests, so maybe I am trying to influence the decision. :p

mdqp

Time to cancel TOTDC2, and introduce my new project: the TOTDC pachinko/slot machine! XD

mdqp

Yeah, the hair color is a pretty easy change, and I figure it's cool for those who don't like the original color or if they want to go full bimbo.

Alako

God's punishment for pre-ordering / funding a game!?

mdqp

No good deed goes unpunished.

pookyrawr

Beeg and milky. >:3

Steven

I was always perplexed how her smallest size was still way larger than a B even though it said B…

Onedrift

Can't wait to go full bimbo in this game too, I MIGHT have a thing for playing as one. >.>

mdqp

*Nods sagely* that's what being enlightened entails.

mdqp

You mean for Erica? Well, that's just how "anime breast sizes" work... :^

Steven

Hehe.

Egg

I mean, what says “Celeste has gone full Bimbo” better than giving her blonde hair and an ample bosom?

Yshomatsu

do you know how you want the story to continue from the first game? I know there were multiple endings to the first one

mdqp

For the things that have multiple outcomes, I had more or less an idea even back when I was working on TOTDC 1 for how I wanted things to go. I had an idea for the main story as well, but I changed my mind for certain aspects later on (I think these are improvements, of course). Anyway, yes I do have a general plan, but I still have to go through the endings of chapter 1 a second time, and see if anything needs some pruning (for example, I originally saved even the decorative items you can buy for your room and the amount of money you have at the end, but I can probably avoid using all of these, or throw a bone to the players, and say Celeste eventually bought those anyway).

mdqp

Maybe I'll have to add "*giggle*" as a dialogue options in all conversations, just in case. XD

Egg

YES PLEASE! Having Celeste be able to look and act the part of a ditzy airhead would be amazing!

Yshomatsu

There’s one thing I hope will continue but I won’t say it just in case you’re going a different way. I know I’ll enjoy anything you create. The art direction makes it feel like it’ll be completely different but not in a bad way. I’ll miss a few of the stars you picked in the first one just because I really like them. While at the same time the art direction makes it feel like it’s truly your project and that’s awesome in its own right <3

mdqp

While I'd actually like doing something like it, it's unlikely outside of maybe specific quests/paths, because of how the game is written (there are a lots of comments and thoughts from Celeste). I'd like to make a game with a full bimbo option, but it would have to be closer to a traditional RPG (so, we'd get more choices in dialogues, but basically next to no inner thoughts from the protagonist). That way, I have to write less custom dialogues and replies, making it manageable.

mdqp

Well, whatever it is, I hope it's part of my plans. Going from real life pictures to 2D is definitely a big jump, but it's the best to have freedom and avoid potential legal issues (by the way, with the changes which are coming to Patreon, any game using real pictures which aren't hired models are likely to get banned, since you need to provide IDs for real people showing up in the games, to confirm they are adults). I am trying to keep the same spirit of the real models, so hopefully the 2D art is at least reminiscent of the various girls we have seen so far.

Egg

Ah that’s too bad but I understand. It would be a ton of fun to have sections where Celeste goes full Bimbo. The only games I’ve known where there’s an optional fully ditzy train of thought/full dialogue always did it near the end. Maybe that’s a solution. I don’t know what the plot will be for TOTDC 2 but if it’s like the first game, it’ll be real easy to think up a scenario where Celeste becomes a full-on Bimbo and has to use the last few flickers of her brainpower to escape or be stuck as a Bimbo forever.

mdqp

Having a scenario or a limited section where she can go full bimbo is super easy (just need to write it, essentially XD). The problem is generally that I don't make linear games, which means I'd need to have alternative dialogues for most of the game, or have an excuse as to why her bimbo side conveniently turns on and off when we need it (which I tried a bit in Caliross, in a way, and I don't love how it comes out). Anyway, we are likely to have some part of the game where becoming a bimbo is a risk/opportunity, but definitely not for the game in general.

Piper looks great! Her interactions with Celeste was one of my favourite parts of TotDC - basically teaching Celeste how to be a good sub by example.

Yshomatsu

we definitely can't let you get banned! And I hope I didn't come off like I was saying I didn't like the art direction, I do, I really do

mdqp

Oh, I didn't think you did at all, I was mentioning it because we were on topic. I wonder how many games are going to affected, once the change takes place, and if people will try to fly under the radar despite the new rules.

Egg

For what it’s worth, I think you should consider/ask your patrons about making Bimbo Celeste a legit play style. I really enjoyed the few scenes of Bimbo Erica we got in Caliross (especially as it contrasts with her bookworm personality) and I think it’d be sublime to get a significant portion of TOTDC 2 with Bimbo Celeste, even if that means a slower turn around. However, I’m glad there’ll at least be some parts where Celeste can let her true ditzy nature shine and that she’ll be able to truly look the part.

mdqp

We'll see. I'd want to avoid going off too many paths like I did in Caliross, but it's certainly something I can ask people about, if I decide I can go for it without messing with the overall schedule too much.

Egg

I appreciate the consideration. Obviously I don’t know your vision for the story nearly as well as you do, but if TOTDC 2 is similar in tone and theme to its predecessor, I think the Bimbo path would be very syncretic and very popular.
