This is pretty much the system I already use. I have a list of things to go through for each new Pet that’s added. It’s not the worst thing ever, just tedious to do.Just a random idea if you're struggling with the pet system MKRU, maybe process them all through the same common event (it will still require lots of testing) and use an array of values for each item so you can easily assign a bonus/malus without hardcoding it (a recipe for disaster since hardcoded values have to be manually changed all over the place, and that's just not an option if the game has like 100 possible gifts and over a dozen pets at some point).
I'm not sure you see what I mean - something like (ID for Gaspacho) => [-1,+2,+2,-3,+3,-1,0,+1]. If it helps you tackle that issue and remains convenient for you to read and update, I'd say that's a decent way to address it. Alternately, you can use the ID of the pet as key and assign values per item depending on how many items/pets will be involved in assigning bonuses/maluses, as long as it's straightforward.
(I'm also hyped for more pets! Love your art, always have loved it, and the nifty girl talk conversations are solid gold. It's like a completely new game experience especially when you get them to tag along with Mila - bonus points for Edith commenting on literally everything in her room if she's with you, you really went all out there.)
Edit: Thanks F95, I love failing my stealth edits by a couple seconds.![]()
The latter, at least in the Vampire Route.Oh yeah, I just remembered something I meant to ask. Are those golden(?) locked chests openable in the current version of the game, or is it one of those "come back later when you have a new toy" things that isn't fully implemented yet? (Kind of like the Magic Key from Dragon Quest.)

I’m not sure who you’re referring to when you say Non Ded Humie Redhead.When will you continue with the Non Ded Humie Redhead story?
Also when it comes to design honestly the only one that was bad (no offense) was the one (and i forgot her name) of that girl that has a crush on Mila. The blondie with the barbarian female friend that became a vampire. Her eyes and face in general were really off.
The rest? They are not perfect but have a certain charm about them.
Vampire Hunter Mila and not the Vampire one. xDI’m not sure who you’re referring to when you say Non Ded Humie Redhead.
The main route’s story finished a few updates ago.Vampire Hunter Mila and not the Vampire one. xD
Hmm. One thing I like less about the new design is how much messier his hair is. Dorian always felt like a classic Dracula reference, emphasizing the idea of Ancient Vampires being more like the old school "refined aristocrat" archetype rather than the "wild and sexy monster" archetype used by most blue-skinned vampires. He was never full-on Bela Lugosi with the slicked back hair, but there was always the sense that he kept it tame, just like he kept his vampiric nature tame.Let me know what you think of this new design. Do you think it improves on the original? Is there anything I should fix before I finalize the design?
Huh? Now i feel silly. Thanks.The main route’s story finished a few updates ago.
He is meant to be a person who is emotionally troubled, which is primarily where the messy hairstyle comes from. I tried giving him the original hair style, and it didn't really fit when I compared them.Hmm. One thing I like less about the new design is how much messier his hair is.

And I suppose if we're looking at it from that angle, it's probably also true that his hands and wrinkled pants give him a more untamed and less refined appearance as well. It would actually look rather appropriate for if he switched to a second phase in his fight where he "gets serious" or something. "I was trying to be polite. But if you'd like me to tear you limb from limb..."
