Shrink Poker - Video Update
Added 2019-12-28 05:54:41 +0000 UTCWorked on the Main Menu and some other stuff like dialogue and cleaned up stuff. Couldn't do much because I can't really NSFW while at my parents' house for Christmas.
Let me know if that player shrink cam is better, please! I'll try to have a .exe demo ready for tomorrow, just gotta fix some things, so look forward to that! : )

That's too much for this project, I want it to keep it relatively simple and deliver a finish project. Adding more illustrations/frames would delay it more. I'm just using this a learning experience and a way to give people something more interactive. The self examining view is a great idea, but that would mean I would have to draw 18 more sprites (9 for female, 9 for male) and I really want to finish this soon so I can start working on other ideas. I appreciate all your suggestions and I'll keep them in mind for future projects, though! : )

2019-12-30 21:54:22 +0000 UTCI think the old one was better as others say, I'm curious of the zooming out option you speak of. Maybe if you gave her one additional frame? a smug expression of resting her chin on her hand, arms resting on table? Eyeing her toy for the night while tilting sideways so much her tits have a wardrobe malfunction and completely off if she's small enough? Probably only shown if she's seriously winning by like 30%? Another thing I'm curious about is if we can play a girl, will there be a point of view button to self examine? >;3

2019-12-30 11:22:59 +0000 UTCYeah, I've actually been thinking of the player shrink effect have multiple options, like the zoom in, the zoom out and no effect. Maybe add in another one that focuses more on the girl too.

2019-12-29 06:21:54 +0000 UTCMore to just keep focus on her. Since she'll get pretty small at some point. I imagined the self shrinking as more of zoomed in view to show her as being bigger but since this one was with zoomed out it could be the reverse here. Having to zoom in to keep a better focus on her. As an option. But it wouldn't need to be zoomed out if she shrank. I'm a big fan of the focused view where it shifts to keep her proportionally centered based on the 100% base. But I can imagine it with no shifts to make the shrinking feel better.

2019-12-29 02:20:20 +0000 UTCI don't understand why the camera would zoom in if she shrinks, only she changes, not the player/camera. I could try keeping her head in the center of the shot, but that would mean moving the camera up, instead of down for the getting smaller effect. I don't know, for the moment I'll revert it to how it was and maybe work on it after the game's finished. I really appreciate the feedback, especially with the images (though it took me a while to understand what you meant)!

2019-12-28 22:41:03 +0000 UTCThe problem is that I can't make her seem loomier because in 2D I can't change her depth. I'd have to draw her head, arms, breasts and other stuff in different layers and then mess around with them in-game to make sure they look good at all height variations. Thanks for the feedback, though. I'll revert the player shrink effect for now and maybe work on it after I finish the game.

2019-12-28 21:10:38 +0000 UTCIt does lower the player, it's just not that noticeable because I had to adjust the formula so that by the end the background/table would still be in frame. I'll revert it to subtly zooming in for the time and maybe revisit this after I finish the entire game. Thanks for the feedback!

2019-12-28 21:00:04 +0000 UTCI was kind of thinking the opposite. That you'd have to look down if she was getting smaller and look up if you were shrinking. I'd imagine that one/both of you would eventually get up on the table. https://imgur.com/a/VxbTUGO But I think the zooming out actually works pretty well. When she shrinks it could zoom in and pan up. Or do it more like the focused pan and keep her the same level as start. Maybe as like an option. I did a lazy attempt at making the background bigger in the last two.

2019-12-28 11:09:28 +0000 UTCMmm... I think the new effect is worse, unfortunately. It's a little more accurate initially in that it affects the FOV change more accurately, but it does a pretty poor job conveying player size overall. Biggest issue is the first four shrinks don't lower the player 'height' at all, they just appear to zoom out a bit, despite the player being almost half their original size by that point.

2019-12-28 10:29:24 +0000 UTCI think the other shrink cam was a lot better. The new one doesn't give much of a sense that you're smaller? It might help if she could actually look bigger and loomier to the player if they're the smaller one.
