Well, this update was certainly full of surprises!

Although I knew that sooner or later we were going to be able to transform Lewis into Draconoclast I didn't expect his two new appearances, they are certainly more original than what I had in mind.

My compliments on how Quill looks. I may not like how their society work but the Draconoclast are certainly good looking.

In fact it was so original that I thought for a moment we had a new specie being introduce with Reese transforming Lois into one of those Japanese fish.

Then wouldn't you know? You proceed to give us an actual new specie with Matthias' transformation.

And because you don't have two without three, you give us another suprise with the Host. I won't deny it I was all smiling when I see where it was going.

So I don't know what's the rating system is but you get the max score with this update!

Now of course I do have some questions, a lot actualy, so let's start with the obvious ones:

-Will there be other species being introduce or transformation?

-Will there be the possibility to break rules too, face punishments for it and avoid them by not being caught for Lewis and the other characters?

-Will there be other puzzles/games/secrets ways to get influence?

1, yes absolutely! the way we are treating it is that the dragons, cats, and dogs are the only humanoid races, while the other animals exist as they do in our world. this means that for any player looking to degrade another, anthropomorphic animals outside the main three creeds are a great way to do so!

2, you bet! although this will mostly lead to bad endings, we have been cooking up some nice little risky moments to play with :3

3, I dunno~ you'll just have to be on the lookout ;3

Well, that just means more surprises on the way!

-During Matthias transformation I thought he was turning into an hybrid between a cat and a dog, while it was not the case it make me wonder, are we going to have such transformation in the game? Will characters found themself with traits from different species like an chimera or Felcandra?

-Still on Matthias, its clear his transformation give him many attributes, does that mean there is a multi content from now on? for males too? and do that extend to growing new limbs like a new pair of arms?

-I remember Mazareth talking about having a "Divine touch" and the ability to channel a certain power, with Reese having the ability of hypnosis, will we get the opportunity to see her practice it? Do other magics/abilities exist in the game? And can we get some for Lewis or anyone else through the use of influences?

-For now most exchange of influences was one way, with Lewis giving, will the oposite be possible? If we befriend someone enough can we ask him for inlfuences withouth paying anything like for Elami? Or will it be like Reese with a system of debt and interest?

Reese is also an interesting case, he seem to only care about getting the throne, if a character had an objective and get it and if we befriend him enough will he give us all of his influence if he don't need it anymore?

Rhianna and Marilyn are loyal to Lewis, if asked, will a character under our control give everything?

1, its certainly possible! sorta depends on what the community is interested in and votes for.

2, multi limb content likely wont be appearing in this game, but we have special plans for it in our next project!

3, marazet and reese are both the only ones with innate magic capabilities, and both are by default hesitant to use them offensively. buut, with the right transformations, they can be persuaded to use their gifts for thier own gain! although their takeover plots are late game things, both have their chances in the spotlight in 0.5, and marazet gets a bit of a power development in 0.6 with her herm transformation.

4, we have a few lenders/favor askers in the game rn, but yes, a good portion of the allies will be able to make deals and trades for influence!

5, If reese can get the throne, he may still need his influence in order to maintain his position ;3

6, there is a certain threshold of influence spent to make a character give up influence. for example, matthias cant command spy lois to give him her influence since he only spent 3 influence on her change. he could potentially ask her, but agency isnt fully removed from a character untill 10+ influence is spent on their mental changes. rhianna is almost there, and she practically does just that when she concedes the match, but she still has her own agency, even if her loyalty is swayed. raccoon matthias on the other hand is a special case. since he was caught cheating, he lost his right to participate, so felcandra will make all of his influence go to lewis.
