oh cool, ill have to give a try! Is there any talk of having animations?
Nope..
I believe that will require a LOT of changes to the script/program - there's something in renpy called ATL that does 'animations', someone who knows how to do it & we'll probably need an ARTIST that can create the necessary frames of animations needed for the animation(s)... So I guess it will be unlikely

But you never know, could be new content with new scenes added

understandable, also could use AI...I am seeing A LOT of games where animations are short AI generations

It would be nice I understand & it's ok to suggest these things but have to also consider the time/effect involved.
Don't forget, it's only fans in their free time that are working on this for free.

Considering the original artist (AvalonX) had abandoned the game, we would only be able to either hope on another artist to replicate a style similar to AvalonX to produce individual graphics to be joined into an animation OR rely on AI.. but once again we'll probably need an 'expert' on AI animations to get the exact scene(s) needed

With my experimenting with STATIC AI graphics using free software (Stable diffusion - it's what I've been using for the pictures posted on here) - it's not that easy to even get a suitable static picture in the first place.
Admittingly I've only been 'practicing' for ~2-3hr a day for ~4weeks now on-&-off (FYI those school uniforms pics I made took ~1/2hr for each one even though I had the original GirlScout pic to work with) I'd guess an 'expert' could knock them out in 5 minutes total.

Let's look at what may need to be done...

Now to get AI to produce animations I did a quick google for 'Stable diffusion animations' & I find this.....
A powerful tool is AnimateDiff, which enables text-to-video generation by combining a pre-trained Stable Diffusion model with a separate motion module trained on real-world videos.
Total gobbly-gook to me but if I understand this right...

First we'll need to create suitable 'models' of all the characters in the game using just text to describe them
- How would YOU describe Sonic ? it may not be the same way someone else would and AI is just too stupid to know what you actually mean - and there's 11 characters (currently) to describe/make 'models' for

Secondly, we'll need to have suitable 'real-world' videos as a source
- I hate to think what 'real-world videos' they are referring to that would have to sourced for the type of scenes the game requires - guess a subscription to certain 'adult sites' will be required

Lastly, will need to use this 'AnimateDiff' to re-enact the scene you want using just text descriptions,along with 'a separate motion module' (whatever that could be) to use the real-world videos you've sourced but to use the 'models' that were created instead .. All this to get a single short animation that MIGHT be what you're looking for.

Now also consider how many scenes may be required ??
If you look in the games > image folder & count how many graphics there are for the 11 characters, there's 264 images, not all are 'sexy scenes' but there's at least 71 'event' pictures that I guess could have animations
That comes to quite a LOT of work to be done.

TBH if animations WERE required/needed.
I would think going down the 3d route would be better as that type of software is designed to animate - once suitable 3d models are created they can be posed in any way by 'click-&-drag' into position for a start frame, dragged to new position for the end frame & then let the software create the frames in between while you go off for a cup of tea

Of course, this also means we need a 3d modeller/animator to 'join the team' to work for free though

It for sure would be a time investment! I would think only big scenes would get an animation especially if its fan made!

Definitely no promised here...it will be discussed, but definitely don't get your hopes up for this one. If it was a new project, from scratch, and different circumstances...maybe...but I suspect we're too far into this to make such a drastic change.
Oooo! What about Chel Cosplay? For Cream and/or Vanilla?
Oooh...I vote Cream. "Your new partner..." - "That's partner in training!"

I'd say Vanilla, as much as I'd love to see Cream in only two strips of clothe covering her cute little bunny holes, Vanilla has the thighs and hips to make that cosplay work the best, but maybe Cream can get some tribal "tattoos" that "cover" her body?
