Update: additional clarification reveals the original Discord message was real, but taken completely out of context.

Also, this screenshot is from the newest patreon test branch, released tonight. The model issue causing small bellies has been fixed.

When tied with screencaps of a build with broken max values, the out-of-context post made it look like the developer was mocking people who want to have heavier bodies in the game

I'm glad that it took only a few hours for most people to get the full story, and the game is back to positive on Steam

I went ahead to compare the beta build above with the current game and, while there does seem to be a *slight* max size decrease, it's not nearly as bad as reported. In addition, these models don't 100% match up and are still being worked

I know one goal is to allow more body variety as a whole tho

The final thing I wanna say is I've seen a lot of people say "Who cares if a bunch of furries can't have gooner bodies" and like
nah
A lot of people aren't allowed to have their real body types represented in games
This one of the few games that encouraged heavier built people in a character creator

Tons of people are gonna make the big booty and tiddie characters, yeah, but I've seen a ton of people genuinely happy that they can represent themselves in a game
So the idea of the dev going "plus sized bodies are for gooners. i want normie appeal" as a sarcastic retort rubbed people the wrong way

last thing i wanna add is that the game is legit fun and even if you don't care about the horny undertones, running around with 16 friends as your lil blorbos smacking slimes with sticks and swords is fun

It legit feels like a mid 2000's F2P ARPG game without the microtransactions
I love that shit

my friends have literally played PSO with the dev, it's where a lot of design ideas came from.

but it's atrocious that these predator losers are vindicating kiseff's long-standing fear of public release. he literally just made games for personal friends because he avoids strangers and here's why

ultimatetotoro.bsky.social•2 days ago

The whole messaging from the goons bagging on Kiseff lowkey reminds me of the director of no man's sky having incredibly bad interviews for months leading up to his game's release.

ultimatetotoro.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course it's shitty because the game only exists because Kiseff wanted to distance themselves from these lame-ahh NSFW freakos. I feel bad for Kiseff but for once, they could have been said anything and that would have been a better outcome.
