Too many to quote and respond to, so I'll just post plainly here. I ask people what they think about plot ideas and things like that because, as a human, I am not perfect and don't think of everything, and you never know what someone will say that sparks an amazing idea that I end up rabbit-trailing and developing.
So it looks like there were some hints that I did not accurately portray. The Marbog ARE an Extinction Event-level threat. So... if they're here, why have they not overrun everything? Why HASN'T the world been sealed off from the rest of the Academies? Why does NO ONE seem to know about them being here besides Aurum and the WJC staff? Why was there just... an isolated pocket of them, and they haven't been seen anywhere else? That is very unlike an invasive species that is supposed to, as Agent Smith would put it, multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. There's SUPPOSED to be something screwy about how they haven't overrun everything, and I think I failed to show that. Perhaps if I did that, that would make things more believable, as there is NOT actually an Extinction Event going on... someone is fucking with stuff behind the scenes.
As far as Nook and the Harpy go... you're absolutely right. Now y'all got me thinking, and I KNEW I wasn't satisfied with the aftermath of those two events. I definitely have some rewriting to do.
As far as Monster Girl designs... I'm sadly limited by the Ai Shoujo engine. I've had so many requests for spider girls, centaurs, a damn kraken girl, satyrs and minotaurs, all shit I do not have parts for because I'm limited to 2-legged beings. The engine just... doesn't have animations or parts for those kinds of creatures. I would love to have some truly monstrous characters in the game, but only the ones created from human models seem to jive with the baked-in sex animations. I'm with you. I'd make an Alraune if I could. A Griffin. A straight up Dragon. One of our T5 patrons DID make a Shadow Dragon girl, but as you might have guessed, it is a humanoid model with some tweaking, some textures, some wing accessories, and... relatively normal clothing. If I was Redamz and was making Monster Girl Island in Unity like him, I'd have more freedom. But I'm kinda in Baby's First Hentai mode over here lol. Even the Marbog are just default human male models with the frog suit on and Invisible Body ticked On.
I do know that there are monsters I can place from the Items menu, but they don't use the same animation menu that the male and female characters do, so I have no idea how I'm supposed to animate them. I'm gonna ask around in the IllusionSoft Discord and see if there's just something I have to learn to link those two things together. If so, that could open up a WORLD of possibilities.
Thanks for all the feedback and the willingness to share what you think will improve the game.
