addedWell, it's time to look onwards, to the future and what is to come next in Missy's Transformation Tournament . With The Second Tournament , a lot of focus was put upon the physical facets of the game - new body types, new arenas, new hosts. The next order of priority is the less visible aspects of play - personality, sexuality, AI and mental transformation.
addedThis update will be comparable to The Second Tournament in scope, with many new features. Here's what is planned:
addedPersonality Revamp - the existing personality system is being overhauled with a new system, based on the big five personality statistics. Personality will be gauged based on these and can change over the course of a game with transformation, and unique combinations of body, mind and soul will result in special personalities.
addedSexuality and Gender - to go hand-in-hoof with the personality revamp, sexuality is being added. You can choose what your pawn is attracted to, what their gender is, seperate from their sex. If their sex and gender are different, then in Kingdom, they will be seriously unhappy and stressed. While this system won't affect Tournament Mode much, it is crucial in what is to come!
changedImproved AI Pathfinding - the current AI system is being upgraded with new pathfinding systems that will allow for pawns to travel in cramped conditions. This is vital for Kingdom, as buildings are a feature that is incoming beyond The Third Tournament .
changedIntelligence - pawns will be judged not just by their form but also the capabilities of their mind. Intelligence can be lowered and raised through transformation. This factors into the personality revamp and gameplay-wise, a pawn's ultimate fate will be decided by this even more than their body type. End a game with no intelligence, then you will enter Kingdom Mode as a brainless feral. Be careful!

The Third Tournament is the next vital step on the road to Kingdom Mode.

This update will be comparable to The Second Tournament in scope, with many new features. Here's what is planned:

  • Personality Revamp - the existing personality system is being overhauled with a new system, based on the big five personality statistics. Personality will be gauged based on these and can change over the course of a game with transformation, and unique combinations of body, mind and soul will result in special personalities.

  • Sexuality and Gender - to go hand-in-hoof with the personality revamp, sexuality is being added. You can choose what your pawn is attracted to, what their gender is, seperate from their sex. If their sex and gender are different, then in Kingdom, they will be seriously unhappy and stressed. While this system won't affect Tournament Mode much, it is crucial in what is to come!

  • Improved AI Pathfinding - the current AI system is being upgraded with new pathfinding systems that will allow for pawns to travel in cramped conditions. This is vital for Kingdom, as buildings are a feature that is incoming beyond The Third Tournament.

  • Intelligence - pawns will be judged not just by their form but also the capabilities of their mind. Intelligence can be lowered and raised through transformation. This factors into the personality revamp and gameplay-wise, a pawn's ultimate fate will be decided by this even more than their body type. End a game with no intelligence, then you will enter Kingdom Mode as a brainless feral. Be careful!

  • Social, Allies and Rivals - pawns will be able to talk! As they go about their survival, you can overhear their mutterings, chants and threats to each other. You in addition, will be able to ask them to be allies, ask for help or warn them away. Allies can help you until there are no more contestants left, whilst enemies you make will be rivals, and hunt you down with fury and wrath.

  • New Insectoid Species - featuring bees, ants, butterflies and spiders! All new combinations of parts that will allow for dozens of new species! Buzz-buzz!

  • New Arena - a strange new arena, made of metal and with various containment chambers. What awaits you in the deep bowels of this hostile facility?

  • New Endings - the way games end will be revamped to lead more into Kingdom and your ultimate fate.

  • New Achievements - 21 new achievements, bringing the total to 63!

  • Much More!

These are all just what I've planned for The Third Tournament - it's always possible for some to be moved to The Fourth Tournament or cancelled outright if they do not work. We'll see.

The Third Tournament is being worked on, but no date will be given until it is done. It'll be some weeks at least. I ask for patience as development continues.

It's gonna be something!

Until next time, stay in her good graces!
