One thing to consider there, if things *do* seem like they will get out of hand, you could consider restrictions to keep things a little more under control. Like being barred from changing major zones if under certain states. Sometimes one just have to choose one or the other... but in this case that relies on you.
Well, i've already had to put my foot down a bit in my discord server, no new playable TFs and no new Playable characters. At this point, i have variations for 3 different sexes, with roughly ~8 different variations for two of them. The male and futa share the same playersprites as the resolution is low enough that i couldn't add breasts. The female sprites simply remove the peen. But yeah, at this point, adding any more playable TFs or anything of the such would multiply that yet again.
Edit:
Peeps in my discord server have helped me come up with a new enemy. One made a cute little metroid sprite in the style of my game, and it got me thinking, maybe i could make something like that, but maybe more jellyfish looking. Then one of my mates made a sprite of that out of the blue for me, and after a little tweaking, it's turning out pretty damn good.
I'm gonna have two variations of the jellyfish/metroid-esque enemy. First one is obvious enough, it engulfs the player's head, and while they're struggling to get free, it's corrupting them slowly.
The second variation, the thing just outright engulfs the player whole, attempting to nom them.
