NPC 012: Hot air balloon
Added 2024-10-19 22:56:42 +0000 UTCSeems all that hot air has finally gotten to her and turned her into a blimp! Or a hot air balloon. Though Aria has the lovely idea of turning her into a hot air balloon to travel.
Should be noted, I don't think this will actually be a form of travel in the game. I might be able to just make it so after you inflate her, she hovers around like this and you can just jump into the basket. Though I could certainly see about adding something in like that. Just because they're a voted on NPC doesn't mean I shouldn't integrate them into the story a bit right?
Was considering making Twelve become a massive blimp and actually having her carry a whole ship under her, but the amount of effort that would require would be more significant. I suppose if it's heavily desired closer to the end of development that I could have her become the balloon portion of a dirigible while still being the captain and take you to like a hidden area or something. Would still need to be a bit small of a ship or like, make her ridiculously large or slightly more oblong.
Either way, this was really fun working on her! I really like how she came out and I enjoyed inflating her!
Edit: I added in another inflation animation of her with her hat flopping off.

Yup! As I said in the reply to them, I'll have it on a list of things I'd like to add. So long as there's no reason to rush to the finish line, then I'll totally turn her into a full on blimp for an airship!

2024-10-20 01:56:40 +0000 UTCI'd love to make her into a full on airship. Not just to turn her into a massive blimp, but also because it's a fun concept! It'll be on my list of things I'd like to do and we'll see if I can fit it in. Also thank you for your concern. I'd say things are back to normal now for the most part!

2024-10-20 01:55:17 +0000 UTCFully agree with Jattoska on her being an airship if you can manage to squeeze it in as an extra. If anything I fully support her getting even bigger to carry around a proper airship to make her a real sky pirate if that ever happens as well XD

2024-10-19 23:58:31 +0000 UTCYou pretty much nailed what I was going to suggest in how you can actually use the NPC as an actual (fast?) travel mechanic, and the literal "airship" idea sounds great if you are able to squeeze it in as an extra thing after the main development is done. Glad you had fun and hope you're doing well with your IRL circumstances after the hurricanes
