Abbymations (Early Access): Game Over - Latex Dip! (Patreon)
Content
A failed stealth check alerts the factory guards and earn Abby a trip to the latex dip and a new life as a squirming rubber toy!
GAME OVER!
"Insert Coins" + "Press start" to continue?
The Rant:
This was actually faster than normal because I have plans for next weekend and, in order to keep up with the regular posting schedule I am going to have to make more content (albeit, less in-depth) faster, so as to not end up having to miss a posting day in favor of the special project I have planned (which may not feel too special given all the animation I've been doing).
The cheats are there if you know what to look for. Mainly, this is only one screen, rather than two. Normally I have two screens; a "countdown" and a "fail-screen." The countdown explains the peril, while the "fail-screen" highlights and accentuates the peril. However, there's only one screen this time because I don't have time (as of this writing) to design and animate a second screen (specifically a new pose for Abby, and new background for wherever her new rubberized form is stored). So I combined the two, doing a single animation, but giving her alternate sprites for nudity and encasement. Its basically how most alternate costumes work, so you don't have to change the animation. It helps that the transformation happens off screen as well.
Speaking of, there's some cheating there too. The bubbles are all the same animation, but just spaced differently in time so they don't feel uniform or familiar. There's also a mild vibration of the pot, so it feels alive as well.
As for the background, I cheated with shadows, so I didn't have to draw a full catwalk AND I didn't have to draw an actual factory behind the catwalk either!
All in all I'm happy with this and proud, but I will always worry that taking such shortcuts is a path to complacency, especially with bondage/DiD art. I hope not. And if it is, well, limitation is the mother of creativity! If one door shuts, I hope to find a way around it and keep this AbbyTrain going for decades to come!
