Squirrels? Squirrels! Awesome.

Marmotini is my take on the sort of mods commonly used by Kui-tan (re: codex) to tint their fur to taste and slightly alter other tertiary characteristics like tail shape and face patterns. It DOESN'T, however, turn you into a kui-tan, making it sought-out by other furred races looking to permanently color their fur without having to reapply bleach/dye or altering other aspects of their physiology. This won't touch your legs, junk, or parasites, but it will change stuff like your ears and face structure to be more like a kui-tan's. Currently. I'm leaving all this very open to change. Also, it'd be a stretch to assume that there are actual terran squirrels and the like on Florus (wasn't there another name given to this moon? Idk...), so, I'm happy to invent/crowdsource for alternative marmot-esque alien fuzzies that would be native to Florus and more believable as a basis for said mods. Though, our Indian Giant Squirrels are gorgeous, so I'm holding out for that one staying the way it is.

I originally started this as a personal learning project for getting a handle on coding stuff for the game. I'm nowhere near finished with this yet. If anyone out there is more familiar with that and has the time/drive, some pointers on that would be much appreciated! My goal is to code this completely or as completely as possible, ultimately so I can take a crack at coding other finished stuff and maybe help out with the constant backlog of finished but uncoded submissions.

Also there's a mustelid (weasel, ferret, etc) TF in progress as well, but it isn't nearly fleshed out enough for me to feel comfortable posting it. SOON.

So we are looking at an all-in-one Sylvanol type thing, but for squirrels?

Also you shouldn't really concern yourself with the coding of it, but with writting the transformation sequence scenes.

writting the transformation sequence scenes.
True, can't code what I haven't written. That's still the end goal, but thank you for pointing out what's still really lacking. I'll see what I can bang out in the next couple of days.

It's supposed to be to kui-tan what Sylvanol or Lucifier are to humans in concept, and the medipen variation is structured after Sylvanol. Also considering replacing all references to earth creatures with Florus wildlife. Sylvanol ain't based on other races' concepts of elves, why should a mod developed by kui-tan be based on fauna familiar to humans?

Edit: kui-tan is not a verb.

Update: Currently brainstorming critters native to Florus to name these different settings after. I have the Gold setting figured out, except for maybe a better name, but I need to know if adding to kui-tan lore like this is gonna be OK. Would Savin be the one to ask?

Also if anyone feels inspired by this and wants to add their own critter ideas, feel free to post here, I got like six more to do still.
