but it was never completed? that sucks.
There's too many transformation options and new stuff constantly gets added. Many have tried, but they all gave up when they realized the monumental effort needed to creating such a viewer for one of Fen's games. It's a several month long project at full time, at least. That's assuming the game is in a complete state too, with everything you need to account for already known.

Complaining about the graphics in a text-based game is timeless.
Was that meant to be malicious?

Well I'm certainly not suggesting someone make a unique graphic for every variation of every transformation, that would be insane. But it would be nice to see a basic char viewer with a couple of the starting "forms" (Horse, Wolf, Dragon, Etc). A few sets of wing, tails, genitals, body types, faces and stuff like that, but if no one wants to make it then that's the end of it. I wouldn't force anyone to do something they didn't want to do,. And i certainly have no leg to stand on having no artistic or programing talent. I just wanted to come see if anyone had added on to the old 4.12 version.

Not to sound malicious, but you didn't think this through, did you?

It wouldn't be a case of "just do a couple of morphs" and its done. Just look at TiTS and its transformatives.

There are 150 transformative items alone. Let's be generous and say that a fifth of those are internal changes, that leaves us with 120 items than can change the appearance of Captain Steele. But it doesn't stop there; each of those items will have somewhere between 3 and 10 properties that can change the appearance of the character, so let's be generous again and say that there are 5 properties per item. That's 600 properties, all of which are going to be different.

Now, do you want to get into colour? Because that's where things really get ramped up. And we haven't even gotten into hairstyles!

Look, its not a case of "no one wants to make it", its that its too much to ask one person, or even a team, to take on. This is something would take months, if not a couple of years and that's just for the game at what is coming to it's midway point. And even if you were to make a barebones viewer, you're going to have the problem of people wanting more, because that's what people do, they always want more.

Now let this fecking thread die like it was supposed to.
