I have a feeling that the Kraken tentacles work as a lower limb only, but I haven't done much squid breeding
hoshizou namae should have written something about it, either look for it or try asking them directly
There wouldn't happen to be a way to restore overwritten save data, would there?
If there isn't, then I am very sad.

unless it's in the autosave slot 0, nope
maybe you saved some json file that would make the loss more bearable?
Sometimes weirdly it doesn't overwrite tho, it just puts another "number:" save, keeping them both
I checked the jsons. I lost a prime specimen and I'm very sad. I was pushed back a lot, but not back to the beginning. For reference, my day count was well into 3000, but now I'm about 1600.

save file with debt paid, and choosing to stay. some extra money and a few slaves if you just wanna play around
hmm... So I've downloaded the modded version that it links to in order to get the 25 rooms per floor... but it's only showing/giving the original 15... ?? Am I doing something wrong?
do someone know where to find author of this masterpiece?
haven't been able to find him since release

First game: Mayuri-sama, 2007
Second game: Slave Matrix, 2018
I think we have 4 years left before despairing
trying to grok how character creators should be done
like you can do what this game does and draw each body part by hand and have like simple things you can attach to them or whatever (ignoring coloring options)
overall leading to a multiplicative growth in number of unique characters, say you have 5 torsos and 3 heads to go with them you would get 5*3 or 15 unique possibilities
problem there is that i'm not an artist so i wouldn't be able to do that option very well...
other games do like a procedural approach where you parameterize body parts by say some "measurement" or whatever (think skyrim or fallout etc) you end up with many more possibilities but also more uncanny, buggy, or undesirable characters...
given enough data there is also the possibility of training an "AI" to generate characters, there have already been anime girl pfp generators that do just that. again you end up with undesirable results and the output isn't particularly useful for a video game (a static png) also the compute time makes it undesirable in a game setting...
and then there is the problem of 2D vs 3D, this game specializes characters to a limited number of poses but if you want more angles you probably want to go full 3D -- i'm not particularly a fan of the 3D anime style or hyper realistic characters.
i am a pretty big fan of the paper doll approach used in this game and kisekae 2 but not so much of the pose limitations and manual effort/artistic skill required to program something similar...

Yep, this one was/is atop my list of games to recreate, but the art assets are quite the hurdle.
It would be worth the hard work of creating all the paperdoll parts, but likely needs the tradeoff of a limited pose set as you mentioned. AI could be useful enough to assist with part creation, though some pioneering may be necessary, as hardly anyone seems to be doing that.
(btw, I did a POC ~5 yrs ago, creating SVG parts and animating it with javascript... but I'm doubtful I'll revisit it. I can do art, but it's slow and painful, lol)

I honestly think the art side of things would only be tedious, the real challenge is programming. Not even the different poses are impossible to do, just time-consuming. If anyone would need a vector artist for this btw I'm here lol I could def nail Eden's artstyle, I love vector art : ).
Having been viewing this thread for a long time now, the programming has always been the primary issue for this game. It's one of those games that's held together by duck tape and dreams, so coding will probably be the primary concern.
speaking of code i went ahead and removed another 73k lines of my decomp and fixed a few bugs that i introduced last time...
still around 400k LOC left
still a bit too much for me to hold in my head but slightly better
should be possible to run in the browser with blazor if i clean a few things up...
haven't touched the performance stuff yet, should be pretty trivial to use opengl + some shader magic to make everything much faster basically just need something to do cubic bezier curves with (thinking either a fragment shader or just generating triangles)
not really my focus yet... i kinda just want enough of an understanding of the current codebase to rewrite the whole thing but i'm also too lazy to read 400k LOC

Also, is there a way to make part inheritance more consistent? I love the idea of making these very complex breeds but it can take actual irl days to get what I want. I'm already using simple breeding and have 0% MagCon, but it's not helping out a huge amount.
