Fenris high devlog update 23
Added 2020-10-03 21:59:01 +0000 UTCheyo pups! another lil update for you! since i posted about combat last time , me and banana inquiry have been discussing about it ,trying to refine its core features. After we ended up with a document we were both happy with, banana inquiry has finally started building blocks for it. The gif here is super duper early in development, but you can already see some of the things we discussed last time...of course, when it's done, you won't be the one to initiate combat as jones and the others will be chasing you instead!
as for me, the introduction of the lust meter and the sensual actions meant that i get to draw jones getting seduced by the player. You'll notice some changes in his battle sprite as you start fondling and licking him :
10% lust
50% lust:
80% lust:
after you have him reach 100% lust jones will be forced to stop fighting you and he'll have to take care of more... intimate issues, giving you precious time to flee.
still have to draw the climaxing from the other angles, but by the next update i'm confident i'll be done with these animations.
on a side note, me and banana have also been discussing about one member of werewolf jack's pack, the one representing pride (previously called hunky dave, but since there's already a dave in game he'll probably be called something else now XD) . In the end we decided to change his design around a bit
previous version, a mean, bougie dobermann
new version, a german shepherd bursting with himbo energy
still on the fence about wich one i prefer , what do you guys think? is the new guy an improvement or is he too cartoonish?
anyways, that's it for this week! more to come next time! stay wild y'all! awooooo!
Comments
I might be a little late to this conversation, but I have to say I like both designs a lot! I do feel the new design is a little too cartoonish imo, but I don't think it would take much adjustment to make up for it. Either design is great and I'll be happy regardless!

2020-10-06 04:11:26 +0000 UTCI prefer the previous one. I suppose my preference for the older design is that in some ways it doesn't scream "pride" and communicates it in a much subtler manner. I feel like when it comes to prideful archetypes the truly prideful ones are the ones who present themselves in a more poised manner? Like they wouldn't brag about it too much but maybe a little bit once in a while. While the new himbo design is by no means bad, the over the top cartoonish aesthetic communicates to me almost as if he is attempting to compensate for some sort of insecurity with some pompous facade. Also, I really like that in the older design, his hair is fashioned in a manner that makes it appear like a crown. I suppose how these designs would work depends on how Pride here would be written as a character so, in the end, the best decision would be to pick the design that harmonizes with Dave/PendingName/Pride's character and personality. I think maybe it would be interesting if some characters actually represent a good side to the deadly sins as some sort of subversion. Like pride actually being comfortable and prideful of his self-image and maybe juxtapose this with maybe Envy having insecurities.

2020-10-05 19:39:16 +0000 UTCThe first design screams "unearned Pride". He looks like the yuppie riding off daddy's money and notoriety but acting like it is all his doing. Regardless of which design, Pride should definitely be a 'pedigree' breed. If we want to be funny we could make him a Bichon Frise.

2020-10-04 23:16:44 +0000 UTCHimbo design. Everything looks amazing
2020-10-04 21:35:02 +0000 UTCI enjoy the first design more, it's much more alluring.

2020-10-04 19:07:09 +0000 UTCThe First by fair, it feels sultry and unique and engaging. besides mentally compromised and hot is kind of covered already. So far most the wolves feel.. threatening as to silly, even fatso. So.. no to #2 though maybe as an alt or for someone else FOR #1?

2020-10-04 17:53:47 +0000 UTCBattle system looks nice, and looking forward to see the final design of it too ^w^! As for the big guy, Won't lie. I too prefer the first design. It does gives a more mature vibes of "pride". The second one is cool too, but it does leave of a small "goof" vibe. Maybe if he wear the same clothes as the first design? Not sure. At the end though, if you can't decide, you can always just make a poll about it too, right ^^;...??

2020-10-04 13:16:39 +0000 UTCNew guy looks really full of himself, shows off pride pretty well. The cartoonish aspect is nice. Any ideas on a new name since Dave is taken?
Becquerel
2020-10-04 12:17:28 +0000 UTCi'm personally more partial to the first design. he gives off a certain smarmy energy that the himbo design doesn't.
move along nothing to see here
2020-10-04 10:18:29 +0000 UTCI think the previous one reads more like a pompous asshole vs this new guy whose costume getup might be a bit too "on the nose' compared to the designs of the other wolves. Like, Jones design is fun, and a good reference to a certain fiery-haired cook, but he doesn't wear something that specifically calls out his love for eating. He isn't wearing a bib that says "Feeder" or something, and we don't need it because the design is strong enough to read without it. I think there's a middle ground between the two pride versions that is still fun but doesn't rely on that particular outfit to come off as overly self-loving.

2020-10-04 07:47:18 +0000 UTCThe newer design really is an improvement I really dig his new look!
Johnny
2020-10-04 05:53:41 +0000 UTCI'd say that both designs are good, but the new one is an improvement. I think it would look even better with the robe from the old design on top of the new design's harness getup. Nipple acessories would be hot af too. Otherwise, love his toeless socks and his new design overall!
LiberWolf
2020-10-04 05:48:48 +0000 UTCMmm, idk, I think the robe looks better aesthetically

2020-10-04 05:19:36 +0000 UTCThese dev log is looking promising. I wonder if we'll see gastro or he'll join after the events of Fenris High.

2020-10-04 04:53:33 +0000 UTCI like the direction your taking the Pride werewolf, but a note: More Bling! He should be even more showy in how he's dressed. Someone else suggested a gaudier crown and velvet, so go with that. I also miss the nipple chain. Maybe just rings or other piercings to not cover the #1 ribbon.

2020-10-04 02:19:17 +0000 UTCI like both versions of Pride, but I think whichever iteration of the character you go with might depend on how similar or different they are to other characters. Aren't there any other himbo-types? If so, what would make this guy stand out? Personally, I and some friends have a thing for bougie, opulent, bling-bling characters, which is what I got from the previous version. But, doesn't that make him very similar to Pimp Harry? Harry more strongly exudes Opulence and such, so in a way, the previous iteration might feel redundant or like a watered down version of Harry. So, perhaps this new version might be the better option?

2020-10-04 01:54:55 +0000 UTCBoth designs are great! I really love the more gentlemanly design of the first and want to see a mix of the two tbh. Aesthetically they are both very appealing

2020-10-04 01:43:14 +0000 UTCI like the new design more then the old one. Himbos and German shepherds are #1!
James33333
2020-10-04 00:59:58 +0000 UTCAlso the second version could use some aesthetic touch-ups. Maybe swap the thong for a jockstrap to better convey the shape of his legs and ass as I had to stare for a few seconds to tell where one began and the other ended. Making the crown more gaudy could help him seem more like a pride monster, gems or red velvet maybe. Other thoughts on his design may just be preference so I’ll keep them to myself for now.

2020-10-04 00:19:48 +0000 UTCI think I like the old one's design more, but I like the himbo idea more... maybe something more aesthetically like the old design but with a himbo body language? IDK, personally I think there's still a sweetspot in between the two designs that I would like more than I like either of them rn
Hinner
2020-10-04 00:15:35 +0000 UTCToo cartoonish, but keep the crown
Crimson Claw
2020-10-04 00:14:11 +0000 UTCIt really depends on what you want the player to feel towards the dog. The first one radiates such asshole energy that I honestly feel a little grossed out at the thought of having sex with him, but he’s such an asshole that the player will really want to beat him. The second is lovely and welcoming and I wouldn’t mind losing to him much, but he’s also unthreatening.
Plague
2020-10-04 00:07:41 +0000 UTCI prefer the old design, he seems more of a pretentious douch than the other one (in a good way)

2020-10-03 23:43:45 +0000 UTCoh god i dont know which design i love more!!!! i was a massive fan of the first design but like.....i live for himbo and aspire to be a good one so its such a even split for love!!
OtterIshmael
2020-10-03 23:31:02 +0000 UTCIf you could combine the two some how? I like the doberman house coat. And the purple and gold.. so if you can combine them I think it would be perfect. Be possible to be proud of being a mix of Shepard's and doberman.

2020-10-03 23:07:17 +0000 UTCI love both designs!!! But the old one just got that little bit hint of an edge over the new. I just think pride as sin has really transformed in anime media, in that if a character is prideful or arrogant theirs a reason why. And the old just shows that with his looks alone being so about him that you both hate him but kind of like it for some strange reason. The new design though just gives of the flashy vide a little too much, than someone who really is the sin of pride would need. To them showing up would be more than a treat so all of those other accessories would be unneeded for them. Thanks for the work though!

2020-10-03 23:03:14 +0000 UTCHonestly, I like both designs about equally (would love to see both designs make it into the game as separate characters, but that would probably be redundant), although I kind of agree with the previous comment about dobermans feeling a bit more "showy" than German shepherds. Dobermans are intimidating, but they're also sleek, shiny, and the kind of dogs you might expect to find at a dog show or something. German shepherds are just mostly intimidating without the sleek, shiny, showy part.
2020-10-03 22:57:19 +0000 UTCall the werewolves are always BURSTING with personality, which makes me love them so much, even if they're gonna be chasing us down and trying to kill us eventually x3

2020-10-03 22:32:32 +0000 UTCI like both designs but the jockstrap and the dickshape/size feels a bit too over the top.
Pony Slaystation
2020-10-03 22:19:33 +0000 UTCAlso I see dobermans as a more "glamorous" breed than German shepherds so I think it fits his concept better.
Lee Evergreen
2020-10-03 22:11:49 +0000 UTCThe new design is really good and I have no qualms with it, but I like the old one more because I get viscerally angry when I see him. You can tell he's a flashy, shallow ass just by looking at him.
Lee Evergreen
2020-10-03 22:07:18 +0000 UTCMy vote is on the previous design. I love his energy. It seems to radiate "Pride" more effectively.

2020-10-03 22:06:33 +0000 UTCShow Dog Doug for the Shepard? Fatso Jones and Show Dog Doug, together their names are an homage to the famous Movie Monster actor Doug Jones.
Fe5ter
2020-10-03 22:01:27 +0000 UTCOmg he’s cartoonish in the perfect way I love the new design!! I think he’s the perfect addition to the pack, hes over the top but in the exact way that Pride would entail. Very flashy and big and practically magnetic. Also I like having another less grim-serious one in the lineup too! Also WOW that stuff with jones is so good Really great update man!
