Bust preference options?

"Bust" refers to the little pictures of characters that display in the top left corner. If more than one artist has drawn a bust for a particular character, the game has to decide which artist's version to display. It does this by giving preference to the version made by the artist you ranked higher in the menu.

I wonder how that will work as now there are no dedicated artists so in some time the new art will outnumber all the art by the artists currently selectable.

I would assume an option for "Misc. Artists" will appear. And it's a shame, too, I liked having consistent artwork.

The Bust Preferences thing only actually matters on Mhen'ga, where everyone has art by Gats and Cheshire. Every other NPC except Lapinara only has one bust, so your preferences don't actually matter anyway.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up - I actually didn't realized them being names and felt pretty stupid. 

I would have asked if they are different in quality or something but it looks like that doesn't matter at the moment.

but selection of said bust options is messed up if you pick chesire for top one  second one goes to a certain selection usually shou then the bottom  2 choices  you don't get to pick.

Nah, I still love Gats' art even if there won't be any more of it

Indeed, their art kinda took the edge off and let me feel a bit less like a crazy porn addict by being able to look over at the very stylized and cute busts before going back to the smut. a lot of the other art is A LOT more sexualized so its like washing down  sugary cake with sugary soda instead of bitter coffee.

My thoughts exactly! I know, it's a pronz gaem and all that jazz, but the reason why I prefer text games is because of not having to cope with oversexualized ingame images (and being able to play/have some extra time to change the tab if people get closer to me). That's also why I still keep this avatar-as an homage to old CoC sprites and the kind person who made it for me on the older forum.

With luck, I can always hope for fanart popping up here and there (perhaps we could reopen the "image resources" thread!).

If dynamic a bust selection system is ever going to be a thing in the future, here is a revamp of a mockup I did on the old forum:

tits_bust_sel_ani02.gif

The four button symbols on the bottom of the popup represent: None All (sets all bust images to off), Default All (sets all bust images to their default setting--either following the ordering set in the options or just what the devs set up as the primary), OK (to set the selected settings), Cancel (to ignore the selected settings and revert back to the previous settings), respectively. I would imagine that saving the game will save the settings in an array for that game, so each save file will have their own unique settings.

Hopefully this gives an illustration of all the combinations possible. Repeat busts will have only one column designated to them since it's tracking art for each bust rather than art for each bust for each column (that would be a huge bother). I excluded any named displays to make it spoiler free (in case the character is unnamed or has a changeable name), so alterable busts will only show up as "First", "Second", and "Third" (hopefully not to be confused with Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Bust preferences in the options). The "Backdrop" selection is optional (which is why I left it at the very end), and is mainly for if the game has background art to display, and enough of it to garner a selection menu (otherwise it can be a toggle-able thing in the options menu).

In any case, I doubt such a system would need implementing unless there are a lot of bust art that overlaps each other (to which only a few characters have at the moment), but at least it gives the option of turning off any of the ones a player doesn't want to see art for.

I like Ren best, then jacques, then Cheshire.

Don't really like the other ones, with Gats being my least favorite. I guess I'm just weird.

nah, not liking Shou could be considered weird. Gats has an art style thats debatable. I really like it, but i could understand people who didn't.

i mean if you're trying to wank right to the sex scenes Gats' style would be pretty distracting

Those people need to level up their focus game.

They just may not have a good imagination.
