Vore War V39

[Jazzumness]

The deed is done. Now for the clothing.


*Lamias use Scylla upper body sprites
*Both bellies participate in vore - each three devoured targets increase snake belly size and shrink the human belly by 1. After snake belly reaches max size human belly goes on growing.

sick looking forward to multi belly stuff like this

Beautiful sir! I did thought about making the snake part participating in vore but i though it was trashed, but maybe there's hope still!

Now since you are on with the clothing how about that juicy bellydancer outfit for the leader Lamia, mhm? Surely you must be a man of good taste, mhm?

[GramzonTheDragon]

Hm. So limbs-wise something like Legends' megaman?

I think uniform can be combined with metal collars just fine since in the end it'll be basically the vest. I can do extra-armored design on this one too.

Alright, I have already done several mouth guards so all that's left now is to robot up arms/legs.

Oh and I made alternative navel-and nipple-less breasts/belly for races that probably lack them (Lizards, slimes, crypters...). It should be a race option probably since some people would like nipples to stay.

Warning: unaligned.

This would be a neat toggle option per race. especially if furry versions of races get released. a skin based race having no nipples is a little less believable than something with longer fur lacking them, but some people also like furry bits showing

[Aurilika]

Aurilika, I think it would be cool if there where different kinds of vore in this game.

I don't mind if people repeat things that they've said before if I didn't comment on it the first time, but I did respond to it.

Also, I wanted to ask - do tigers spawn as mercenaries yet?

Weren't tigers just added as part of the new set I'm implementing now? I can certainly make them mercenaries if that's what you want done with them.

As for the lamia, I'm guessing you mean shrink the belly by 1 average person's worth (i.e 4), otherwise the rate of growth would hardly be changed.

I've got the palette swap feature working 100% now. Had a few issues left and ran into a few moments that made me feel like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm4LKR0gMoo . But now I can focus on doing the easier, more 'manual laborish' part of keying in the palettes and adding the sprites instead of the critical thinking and trying to understand the wizardry of shaders part.

This would be a neat toggle option per race. especially if furry versions of races get released. a skin based race having no nipples is a little less believable than something with longer fur lacking them, but some people also like furry bits showing

That will likely end up as a toggle-able per race, as you say.

[DollyFailFail]

Well, the chainsawis easy to fix.

INTRODUCING: Sord! For all your sording needs!

The first because sending soldiers who are literally missing an arm into battle just feels like a generally bad idea, as in like, even worse than sending them just without a weapon

...and knuckles

Much better!

And, well, I've been working on some more stuff for this game. Nothing new for the Crypters yet(though I might compile some Crypter specific names), gonna wait for the new sprites to be implemented first before doing any spriting of my own on them.
Instead I've been working on A. a new faction(/Monster when they aren't one of the main factions), and
B. compiling further ideas for a type of monster which I might just work on once I'm done with said faction.

The factions design is very simple overall, so I've been able to get quite a lot of the tedious parts(belly and breasts) of it done already, now I just need to do the rest of the more advanced things, those being hair, faces(yes, faces, not just eyes or mouths), and weapons, though I'll probably work on the hair last and release the faction itself before that is done since that's the most optional part, especially for this specific race.

I'll leave you to contemplate what said things might be while I work on them.

In regards to the scat system, the sprite is way too large, it's like bigger than a person for one prey which doesn't make sense when a stomach should be compressing and compacting and taking some of the mass away. also, i think having scat enabled overrides the burp slide so every single digestion causes a burp. it should probably use the digestion gurgle when a burp doesnt play, and get a scat sound effect instead for absorption completion.

Aurilika made the sounds timing swap if scat is on.

I'll adjust it, it came with no implied scale so I had to guess how large to scale it. I checked and I did fail to copy over the burp % for scat mode, so I'll fix that for the next patch. If you want to supply a more scatty sound effect I can put it in, but I'm not searching for that.

[Orosaki]

Yea i hope version v14 implements heroes and tweaks ai. Higher level units should also be favored and if the ai decides to flee it'll only make half of the army flee (prioritizing leaders and heroes first, then any high lvl units, while having the weaker units hold off the enemy for a bit).

I really feel like next update should focus a more on the ai since it treats it's kings. queens, rooks, and bishops like a typical pawn.

Since you were asking, here's a bit of code for testing fractal terrain. It should be a matter of copying, pasting it into a c# component and just fiddling with the parameters. I have no idea which structure are you using to store the tiles, but all this code should work to define which kind of tile each one should be.

I haven't the faintest idea on how things like lava and snow should be implemented, if they should be random patches on the land, close to the poles or tied to height. Zoom does as the name implies, and the things I called seed actually move the noise around.

I thought the scat images were a bit big, but I was just so chuffed to have scat in the game that I didn't want to make waves. As for the scat sound effect, I'm already trying to source the one used in ryanshows game, unless anyone knows a better one, a decent gas sound effect would probably also work.

[komaru]

Aye, admittedly, when I made the sprite for scat, I was gambling with the size, I (unfortunately) haven't had much free time to actually start a game since it actually made it in, but yeah, if it's actually the size of a person, I'd say it probably needs to scale down to at least 50-66% of that. XD

Also, if it seems that many are interested, I might start working on a couple of more varieties when I have some free time, throwing that one together didn't take too long, all things considered, so I might be able to make a few more. If anyone have a specific request, let me know!~

Perhaps different ones for different races? Most of the races have pretty much identical bodies, but some, like Slimes, and Crypters, are quite different. The Crypters for instance are made of a lot of stone and metal, with some vague flexible material forming their torso. I'd imagine those first two parts would not digest very well. Meanwhile the slimes are mostly gelatinous, so perhaps the version for when the prey is a slime should be less... 'firm'.

The faction I'm currently working on would certainly have a unique version, which would probably be used both when they're pred and prey, but I could probably handle that one myself.

Yeah, I was actually thinking of a few specific sprites for specific races being prey or pred. I'll try and see what I can come up with!

V14 will like be primarily just the sprite update, we'll see. AI will probably come soon after that, but I'll probably try to put up another poll asking what my priority should be.

Thank you, I'll check it out.

I thought the scat images were a bit big, but I was just so chuffed to have scat in the game that I didn't want to make waves.

I've put in a tweak for the next version that reduces it to 66% of the size, if it still seems out of whack in the next version, you can let me know and I'll keep adjusting it.

By the way, Greenslime, after making it about 1.5 hair colors in, I realized my system for getting the data was terrible and would take forever and switched it so it just uses an image for the palettes now. Here's my normal hair palette from the sample you provided. That should still be fairly easy to make user-customizable at some point down the line as well as making it easy to add new palettes easily, you just need to program what red values they're supposed to replace. It also uses the closest color to the red value, so if there's a color in there it's not expecting, it will be similarly colored instead of unchanged. That's also toggleable in case you want static colors mixed in there as well (like clothing accents).

Wouldn't slimes just absorb units completely? Maybe leaving bones, but certainly not any animal waste, and I imagine them being mostly absorbed as well(if they DO result in scat, it'd be a VERY tiny amount).

Anyway, aside from in Krishna3ca's VGame(where it was tolerable, and kinda necessary if you wanted to see some of the defecating sprites(Like Girl6's which is downright ADORABLE)), and daumatef's Vore RPG(where it was tolerable to such an UNGODLY degree that I would even vore the "waste" to kinda "clean up" and wasn't remotely grossed out), scat is VERY MUCH... NOT my cup o tea.

I'm unfortunately not super confident in my ability to make a "clean bones" sprite, I actually kind of wanted to with my initial scat sprite, but I'm afraid it'll probably have to fall to someone else to make.

I did have an alternative in mind for slime preds though, something like this.
(Warning: scat-ish) https://aryion.com/g4/view/488704

Ideally, this could be altered to match the pred slime's colour, maybe a little darker or lighter to denote that it's waste, otherwise it seems a little silly that the slime's would leave usable parts of themselves behind. :p

If that's not possible, I'll likely just default to a darkish green.

Today I was finally getting to clothes and noticed that thicker male sprites have disproportionally thin legs.

So I made a quick fix and am posting it here to later transfer it to my home computer. Or, if Aurilika is already adding sprites, to just paste over mildly fat and fat male sprites.

manleggo.png (1.36 KiB) Viewed 656 times

Good news is that some clothes would only need minimal adjustments to fit on new sprites. The bad news is that complex ones will need bigger rework. Well, that was to be expected.


In other news, when fixing male sprites I've got an idea. That idea now only needs "attack" sprite, but otherwise it's finished and mostly compatible with other human/demi sprites. Not sure how it would appear unless there would be weight control/"get swole" option in customization menu, which would also be a good way to reverse weight gain (as there's no option to get thinner right now).

That is a lot of abs, will there be a slimmer, less buff male sprite too? Or will they all be roid raging ubermensch?

There already is. This is just something extra.
