Welp, here it is. The 'sex update'. Finally, a payoff for the gameplay loop.
Can I just mention how refreshing it is that everything just... works? Aside from your usual early development rough edges.
Only two things I ran into that were especially jank were the animation syncing during the plant animations and occasionally the jiggle physics would freak out and activate Turbo Ass Mode™.
I, for whatever reason, assumed 'friendly' status would mean the mons would... ignore you?
Not necessarily ignore, but... would be indifferent towards you? Dunno, kinda expected to be able to walk past friendly mons when they were doing whatever it is they do and not have them stop to notice that it was, in fact, me, and that I am, in fact, friendly. Like, nah nah, keep doing what you're doing, don't mind me.
Unless there's a 4th tier of familiarity that I just haven't reached (I haven't fully filled any of the familiarity meters yet).
Of course, I can see how that'd break the gameplay loop. Naturally you could get the best pictures from the best angles if you were, functionally, invisible to everybody.
Other than that... I noticed that the animations go through different 'phases' as they play out. Are there plans to give more player control during player-initiated animations? Press F to move to next phase, or something like that?
