alright, finally have some decent internet at the airport. little sneak peek at what Syliar and I have been up to re: UIs. there's still a lot of clicking, but we're going to be chipping away at it things demoed here: 1. some working assets for Syliar's UI overhaul 2. xcommunicator texting system 3. talk to girls by clicking directly on them rather than interacting with menu 4. another example of auto-generating wardrobe menus. a dedicated UI that actually organizes and previews clothing items is incoming

this is all alpha-level preliminary, but we're excited about shifting game systems/screens to be more user friendly and immersive
You achieved something significant in a short time than Oni ever could for the past 7 years. Time to rise up brethrens, arnarchyyyy is heeereeee. revooooolt. Stop giving Oni money.

It does have a lot of improvements, but the mod crashed more on me than the original game, plus it is built off of Oni's game.
So, while I personally like the mod, I won't start going to its church.

Liking Chonky so far but there are bugs. No images for the dinner/movie date, undressing doesn't seem to work for me and when leaving the movie I got an error that I ignored.

I'll probably stick with Oni's version with the Prime mod.

Some peps told me - cartoon laura version is ugly. Yea sure. This is how she must be look in the game.
Pretty sure cartoon Laura is an actual child, not the almost-legal teen most of the cast here were that only needed a couple years added to be legal, so... good thing they think so?

Not saying something based on the actual cartoon Laura would not be good... but considering an age-up would be very needed unless adding underage content, I think the best change here would be an option for recoloring her current version.
ehhhhhh. I wouldn't mind a darker skin girl aside from Storm, but game Laura's better.
Probably because, to me at least, that image kept the child face and made the waist too thin compared to the rest of the body...

What mod allows you to have all the girls on one screen? I must know, that is if it is a mod and not just an edited image.

i rather go with oni´s art about Laura. I like that mix between comic version and marvel vs capcom. But i´d like Laura has more feminine cheekbones and jaw but i think it just because oni´s are a little limited on those facial features. but i love he gave her yellow eyes.

hey all, as promised, I have big news re: the future of Chonky Mod I've become 1) increasingly tired of being limited by Oni's art, animations, and ideas and 2) more and more eager to accelerate progress towards making this a playable game/mod that meets my lofty expectations. so, I've decided to bite the bullet and a) hire some people to help me out and b) fully break free from Oni's shadow in favor of a new vision for what the game should look like this means a couple things. first, instead of a mod for Rogue-Like, I will be shifting the systems and mechanics I've developed towards the making of an entirely new Ren'Py game with some commonalities and many features distinguishing it from the original game to make this a clean break, it makes the most sense to no longer use Oni's base art. I expect that this will be disappointing to any artists who have been working on outfits for the base art with the hopes of it being included in Chonky Mod, but I truly believe that having our own art source from now on will give us miles more creative freedom in the long term so far, I've arranged standing commissions with two new artists who have started to chip away at setting up the main characters and outfit sets. I've found another writer to help with the story and scenes, since we're going to have to start fresh there as well. finally, I have at least one new programmer who will be helping me with core game functionality, with another one who I'm assessing to see if they can help with animations this document goes into some further details about the project:

Introducing: Project [Redacted] This is an adventure/dating sim game set in the X-Men universe and written in Ren’Py. The premise is the following: You are a mutant who has recently discovered he has the power to nullify other mutants’ powers. You have been taken in by Charles Xavier, who runs a ...

accompanying this news, I'm announcing the start of a Patreon page where anyone else is welcome to help contribute to the development of this project. being a patron is not, and will not ever be, required to play the game. current builds will be made publicly available, just as they were for Chonky Mod, forever. this is not a commercial project Patreon is simply a mechanism for us to collect donations that we can inject back into the development process to speed things along. donations to the Patreon will be infused right back into the game via commissioning more art, writing, and code. the income will be kept public, and I will not personally pocket a cent - if for some reason, the Patreon does well, that just means we will be commissioning a lot of art and writing. to make it crystal clear that this is not a paywall, the game will not be hosted on the Patreon if this arrangement ever changes, then it will be announced very publicly and well in-advance just to reiterate, if you do not wish to donate, there is absolutely no requirement to do so. if you do wish to donate, your contribution will directly accelerate the rate of art and writing production. here is the link:

I'd like to clarify that I won't be abandoning getting Psylocke set up for Oni style, though I will likely wind up making another version of her as well and I will continue making UI and other assets

Just means she might not get as many outfits from me but she will be workable for others to make stuff for

@ ...... and @ ...... I hear your mixed feelings here, and I think I can partially allay them! since the game mechanics that will serve as the basis for the new game are the same that have gone into the Chonky Mod, it's actually... not that hard to mix and match characters designed by different people. therefore, you can expect us to release an optional "DLC" package containing Oni's art. the idea being that you can download a zip file containing Oni's art and the code required to support it, drop it into the new game's directory, and in-game toggle that you would like to use, say, Oni's Jubilee instead of our new Jubilee

Ron Chon:

Please, please, PLEASE, get Raven in there.

Charles Xavier is part of the Illuminati, and they're the ones who watch over the multiverse.

You can use that storyline to merge it with her multiverse as well.

Constantine also just broke the multiverse (all of them) in his latest

animated flick after he asked Flash to reset the timeline -- again.

That could also be a valid reason to have Raven be a part of the game.

I can't be the only one who wants this.
