A bit more ITT progress

The mechanic I have mentioned in the previous post has been successfully implemented. It has been quite a blast to figure out and for now, it seems to work pretty well.

As for more news, I've also implemented an hotkey for your character size change: Your tiny player character can change size while inside the girls and a little animation will now show the girl's tummy to expand and contract accordingly.

Not purely for visuals, adjusting your side will have effects on the way you interact with the world outside. I'm slowly studying how to properly balance or incentivize you to keep a certain size.

For example the mermaid is able to swim but if you're bloating her belly, she will slide down on the ocean floor. Shrinking yourself will allow her to effectively swim upwards and reach higher places with the aforementioned mechanic, but the lack of weight will make her vulnerable to strong currents trying to push her away. Currents which will totally not affect her when you grow back to normal.

This and many other puzzle elements are in the study to make outside exploration more interesting. Pretty recently I've started to experiment with ways to pick up and throw certain objects. The sprite for our newly revealed 2nd character is also there and her mechanics are slowly being developed as well.

I've got plenty of things in progress and I hope you're looking forward to eventually try them all!

Stay tuned!
