Mod Java Completed Redhead+ Mod for Tales of Androgyny

[ShiroMeinu]

Thanks for taking the time to check out the mod. I hope you like it. My description says exactly what I changed. I added makeup, freckles, tattoos, and jewelry to many of the characters. I color balanced every single image to make them warmer because the game has a cold washed-out look to it. I recolored the combat screen. I brightened up the world mat. I also made the water look like water instead of nuclear fallout. I made some minor changes to some of the icons and I replaced the games font to something more girly and less terrible. I did not change any of the character images in the game as that is not or ever will be my intention with the mod.

I also had nothing to do with breast size. That was the developer. You can still choose to keep Hiro flat as a board when you create your character. Besides she will always appear breastless right now in 99% of the game because they didn't bother to update any of the 2-D art to reflect these customizations. So even though you made a Blonde green-skinned big breasted blue eyed Hiro she will always appear as a white flat-chested brunette with green eyes when you see any of the sex scenes.

Now, as far as making things selectable it's impossible. The game consists of entirely of 2-D static images with no way to create multiple ones for any particular scene and have the game chose from one of them as of now. That's why even though they recently added in the choice of hair, skin, and now breast size it only has impact on the character and dialogue screens and NONE of the 2-D ones because to do that they would have to not only program the game to be able to choose from multiple pics for each possible character choice but they would also have to hand draw each and every single one. That's not going to happen for a long time in my opinion.

This is an example of what I do.

Honestly when they added the feature of make you character look different with the standing image it seemed like they did it just so it would seem like they did something. It would definitely take a ton of work to redo all the art for every single combination and I really hope that's not their main focus, butttttt if it is I wont complain. I STILL WANT RPG lel. It would be sick if they did it cause I can only imagine what you would be able to do with that. I feel like it would make modding it more convenient for you.

I honestly see no reason for them to do much more than they are currently doing every month because if the patreons are happy with the direction and are fine with the glacial pacing of any actual content updates and are still willing to part with thousands every month just to have them redo and rehash existing art and gameplay while only adding less than half a dozen new images and maybe a few paragraphs of dialogue then what is the real incentive for them to do more?

This is the entire reason why patreon is such a double-edged sword. The devs need to make a living from it so they don't have to work a normal job and then try to squeeze in time to create a game but on the other hand once they are generating enough income to support themselves they seem to cease any actual attempt to complete their game because they know once its finished there goes the money.

I know this dev said that is not the case and they will complete TOA and start work on another game. I honestly don't believe the first part because it's been two years and they are still working on character creation and the UI. And while I do believe the second part is true I would also point out that there is no guarantee that the support will follow from one project to the next.

I also find it funny that most people seem to dislike the combat system yet there is no talk about overhauling that.

Yeah I definitely see where you're coming from but with so much to do with their game I just wish more would be done, but as you said people like the direction so why would they change it. It's crazy how much money can change the direction of a game and make less get done. Also with an RPG like this you can keep making them game better because it's an RPG but idk I'm not developing it so i'ts not my decision.

This happens all too often, don't it? It's such a hot concept for a game and it's currently at such a nice place in terms of content(well, I get that many here might disagree, but from what I've seen, this could be a lot worse). It'd be a real shame if we get another Breeding Season situation.

Condolences about the less than neighbourly communications status right now between devs and you. I was curious, if everything got sacked, let's say you get sick of dealing with shenaningans or just some awful end-case scenario where modding and dealing with ToA ends - what would you do after that Jroja? If anything at all? Ever had desires to make your own stuff?

 

[Jorja]

As far as making my own game not really. I just don't have the time or really the desire to even try and undertake such a big project like creating a game.

I was happy just messing around with TOA but like anything, if you spend too much time with it it's going to get boring and right now that's kinda where I'm at. I think if I slow down my releases to monthly instead of weekly maybe that might help. We shall see. I definitely think a break is in order. I'm going to see how the rest of the customization pans out and go from there.

I do love the concept of the game for the most part and I really like the art most of the time. Everything else about the game is lacking. It feels so barren and I keep waiting for it to go somewhere but it never does. With the cheats enabled there is no real reason to even wander the map. Just pick the encounter you want to see. Also once you figure out the combat system it becomes super easy and then it's just rinse and repeat over and over again so that really just becomes tedious as opposed to fun and that's a shame.

That's the truth.

Thanks for being so polite and taking the time to elaborate!

I also had nothing to do with breast size. That was the developer.

I actually hadn't played the game before my comment, so I had no idea if there was some kind of history about the developers changing things. I just gave an example of, say, you making tits smaller and not listing it, which would scare me off; it wasn't informed by anything I'd seen. It's great that you included everything you changed, I'm sorry to have made you go to the effort to clarify out of my own paranoia.

As for Patreon, man you hit the nail on the head with that one. It's hard to criticize these indie porn games that are raking in dosh because the apologists point at the monthly income and say "well, patrons are happy" and shortcomings are handwaved. I have no idea if that's the case with ToA, but I've seen it DOZENS of times, so I don't have any doubt that it applies here.

It sounds like you have the desire to make something, but not do all the work yourself. Maybe consider finding a partner or two to do the grunt work? I make board games for a living and I can tell you there's a lot of overlap in terms of work flow, and everything gets a ton easier - and happier - when you delegate roles. Get yourself a programmer, maybe a dedicated writer, and you could be huge. You have the passion for sure.

In any case, thanks for the chat, I'll be sure to check in again down the line and see how things are going. Happy trails on your porn endeavors.

It's true for a while this game was really starting to flesh out itself with new content, but lately nothing worthwhile has been added. There are still so many enemies in the game with no art or scenes since they were added. Like wasp woman for example. I still want them to add more puca art/scenes.

 

[Raff]

I'm not quite sure you left yet, but it's already good to have you back Jorja.

I added makeup, freckles, tattoos, and jewelry to many of the characters...

Hey, no tattoos on the preggo pic?

Anyways, just chimed in to throw another -unwanted- tip.
You can use the mask tools to warp and bend tattoos, so they follow the shape of the underneath skin. (I'm assuming you're using photoshop or similar)

For example:
if you want to put a tribal tatto on a leg, select the tattoo layer ( with the Move Tool, usually "V" on photoshop), and right-click.
You'll get a distort option that lets you warp the image. It's kinda tricky, but once you get it, it lets you "fake" perspectives or shape.

Alternatively, you can cut and distort (I find this much reliable than the "distort" option above)
For example:
let's say you want to make a tramp stamp.
Use the rectangular marquee tool (usually "M" on PS), and "mark" 1/3rd of the stamp. So it'll be like _ _ _

Distort one side of (let's say up) the selection by dragging the little node boxes. Leave the middle 2/3 of the stamp as is. Then select 3/3rd portion, doing the same than first selection, but this time distort up the other side.
It'll give you shape like \ _ / .

It is a bit crude, but of course you can cut more (let's say 1/5 times) with slight different dregrees, to simulate the curvature.

For text (like "sissy" or that kind of stuff) is easier, as there's is a outstraight text-distortion tool at teh top of the screen. And you can also distort text by selecting the text layer with "move tool", just like explained above.

Nope because they are all be obscured by the outfit with the exception of the face tattoo but that's drawn on and our Hiro is pretty tired due to her "pregnancy" so cut her some slack.

I'm posting this image here because once again the mods around here have nothing better to do and once again they had to delete this from the main thread. But apparently it's fine to leave a pic of a giant head that has nothing to do with the game and that takes up 3/4 of a page.

I don't know why I even bother.

Lol got it

Speaking of, this pic has me in the fence, not really sure what to think about... seems absolutely off.
Not only because the outfit itself, but the ambient/mood.

 

[DubiousNova195]

Not sure which mod version to download, I don't know how different they are, does anyone have a recommendation?

 

[Svenn85]

Very impressed by the work. The modded art looks extremely good.

Which program was used for the edits? And did you edit the png and jpg files or an uncompressed format provided by the developers of the game? (I might be displaying my ignorance of image editing, since I don't actually know if png is a compressed format to begin with)

 

[ThisIsMe88]

Not sure if it's related to your mod, but I'm getting

after having Urka join and trying to camp.

Love your mod, thank you for your high quality work and sharing it with us.


EDIT : Nevermind, it seems it's a base game error. I guess there is no way for me to just add this fix to the current v2.161 version of your mod on MEGA, right ?

Holy shit words can't even convey how hot this is to me,
Without a doubt the sexual peak of my year.

what i the WIP version whats in it?

 

[Jorja]

what i the WIP version whats in it?

2.14.4 was the second to last version before they changed the way our Hiro looks and in my opinion not for the better either so I wanted to keep that version available for others who also dislike the new look Hiro, unfortunately, this means no customization as it was not implemented in the game at that time.

The work in progress or WIP version is just that. It's a continuation of the mod for a more current build so use that one if you want to be as up to date as possible. Enjoy.

Well version 16.3 finally expanded on the neglected wasp character for once. The other 2 added art scenes were crap though. An alternate preggo pic that literally looks the same and an urka one that doesn't do anything for me at all. This wasp one though:

 

[Vender]

Please add version 0.16.0.4! I decided to download the original latest version, and as a result lost all open arts and animations!
Give me a file with all open art and animations... Please...
