Greetings!

I hope everyone had a good weekend, and I hope everyone enjoyed 0.5! It doesn’t look as though 0.5.1 has any horrible bugs, so I’m getting to work on 0.6. The dungeon is going to be the big event of 0.6, but I’m thinking about how I can gradually integrate new features I’ve been thinking about. I don’t have a huge preference for which one I’m going to implement first, so I figured I’d let you guys decide! 

First, a brief explanation of the features I’m thinking about:

Recollection room: This would let you revisit H-scenes you’ve already viewed before. I imagine I’d probably have it accessible in-game via some object. 

View avatar: This would allow you to view an image of party members, mostly to see what they’re wearing. It would probably be accessible through the equip menu or something (this one was a request from a patron).

Transmog: Short for transmogrification, this is a feature of WoW that probably makes sense here, since some people will probably be into customizing the PC’s appearance. It allows you to make one outfit look like another outfit. This is useful, because in WoW (and in this game) it usually only makes sense to wear the ‘best’ set of equipment you own, since it controls how powerful your character is. You might not like the look of it, though, so transmog lets you change its appearance to look like anything you currently own.

Note that each H-scene may have a ‘canonical’ outfit - it would be a ton of work to do renders covering every possible outfit variation.  I’d like to be able to, and I recognize that it may impact immersion a little, but it’s a big time investment, and I’m not sure it’s a wise use of development time.

So let me know, which feature would you rather see implemented first - probably in 0.6?

Thank you for your support!

P.S. - I still need to do a little work, but I’m going to try really hard to have the picture pack out tomorrow!

Oops, looks like I misspelled 'recollection' in the poll choice. I can't change it :(

I think the transmogrification having an effect on the h scenes is less important as a priority... That could perhaps be a big last effort after more of the game is complete.

An idea going off of the transmog'ing: instead of doing renders, would it be possible to have the actual models within the game itself? That way, the H-scenes would just be in-game with a set camera angle and poses. If it's possible, you would just have to set up each scene and the characters would look however their transmog is (for the clothes they're still wearing at least).

I know nothing about how difficult this rendering thing is but a cool feature would be the ability to customize the main character avatar?

Most definitely want a recollection room first, I've got a ton of saves before each one and the save folder gets messy after a while. Avatars sound fun, especially if we get some transformations and sexy clothes/armor (Ana in your average fantasy plate mail bikini? Yesh!). And yeah, transmog in h-scenes is a dream but all the variations seems like a nightmare, I take forever making variations on my favorite pictures in Gimp so I can only imagine. Would be nice for the Avatar feature though.

By the way, I'm currently redoing some of the renders because I wasn't quite happy with them - that's why I haven't gotten the picture pack out yet.
