That's a complicated question. What does it mean for Anon to be trans?Love the idea, I'll try it out probably later today! Now for a selfish and maybe outlandish question, can we make Anon trans?
It could mean that Anon feels like he's in the wrong body. I know all about that. That would mean dialog changes. Doable, but not everyone would want that, so I'd have to make it avoidable. I have absolutely no objection to the MC identifying as trans and admitting to feeling that way to the NPCs, but I wouldn't want to start working on it until the core goals of the SPH mod have been achieved.
It could mean that Anon is MTF trans and is living as a woman. Long hair, makeup, bra, panties, breasts... like trans Eve. Since most of the 15,000 images are images of Anon, that would be a lot of work. There would be no way to make it that the MC can be cis or trans, since it would mean adding if ... else statements in the code at thousands of places in the code -- requiring extensive modification to basically every script in the game -- to handle whether the cis or trans dialog and cis or trans images are used. It would just be easier to make a new mod in which the MC is trans. Which... actually is a great idea! I don't know if there is a game like Summertime Saga with a transgender MC. There should be! It would be even more work than this SPH mod because, besides needing to rewrite all of the dialog, it would also require entirely new art. Not just shrinking penis images, but drawing thousands of images of a woman MC. Very little of the existing images could be reused; it would take original art. I have no ability to create that art.
It could mean that Anon if FTM trans and is living as a man. That would mean that he's already had top surgery, or used puberty blockers to prevent breast development, or got really lucky and was flat-chested without medical intervention. There is, of course, no medical treatment to grow a dick and balls. He could have prosthetic testicles and a really huge clit, but it wouldn't ejaculate semen. We'd have to go way out there and make it that Miss Okita used CRISPR to change his chromosomes to XY, probably years ago to allow enough time for male genitalia to develop. I mean, hey, not impossible! It would just be dialog changes that, once again, would have to be avoidable. There would need to be a question at the beginning of the game like:
You identify as:
A cisgender man
A transgender man
A transgender woman
Just a few bits of dialog throughout the game acknowledging that Anon identifies as a woman, or had completed a FTM transition, would totally be doable, but certainly lower priority than all other tasks on my todo list for the SPH mod. If the question is about having a tits-and-dick MC then, no, I'm not able to do that. I love the idea of being able to choose Eve as the MC, but she doesn't have nearly enough art to make that happen. It would take someone with DC's talent to draw the thousands of images that would be needed for that.
