The cast

Well, I did a -little- work on the upcoming CYOA today... would have done more but uh; bad art day. But at least I have a full roster of characters who will be showing up in the story now, even all the guards and servants who appear briefly. I tried to balance male and female as always, and chose a decent variety of species, since the kingdom of High Basin has no specific dominant beast traits, so its a bit of everything. The major figures are;
General Marcier ; Wolf/Lion hybrid, the general of the kingdom's military... obviously unseducable, if he spots you, it would be an immediate game over, even though like yourself; he is against Terastios.
Doué ; Peacock, the brilliantly dressed master tailor. Can spot this guy from a mile away- loves to rant about art and fashion.
Saltatio ; Horse, long tail tied in a loop to keep it off the floor, grey pelt with black speckles- this handsome stud is the greatest swordsman in the kingdom, though he only trains others these days, he no longer picks fights himself.
Belle LaBlanc ; Cow. Four C cups and an udder hidden under her giant dress skirt that is so big it probably weighs as much as a ship anchor. This french bovine beauty is mistress of the largest dairy in the kingdom and head of council for all ranchers in the kingdom.
Regina Giacca Gialla ; HoneyBee. A bit on the plump side, she has a fluffy mane and a big bug rump. Regina is the best chef in the kingdom and head of food regulation.
Jack Trono Hogar & Setosa ; Beaver & Mink. Unseducable (they are husband and wife). As a beaver, Jack is the lord master of architecture and city planning. And Setosa? The princess... second in line so she is not the heir, but still... hands off.
Ophius Cureall ; Snake. Slithers around on his gigantic tail instead of using his legs, this gaudily dressed serpent is the merchant king, lord of trade.
Mire ; Slug. Gods help you if you underestimate this alien but beautiful looking woman. She is the Exalt, the head of magistry in the kingdom. She moves and reacts excruciatingly slow but if she spots you it is game over. When she opens her third eye her speed is reversed: she moves normal speed and EVERYONE else moves ridiculously slow.
Shaydwel Muhktafi ; Raccoon. One of the royal council members, so extremely dangerous. Known as the Master Of Secrets- it is his job to know about the skeletons in everyone's closets.
Lera Boinn ; Crow. One of the royal council members, with a sharp eye to boot. Known as the Mistress Of Coin- it is her job to manage the flow of money throughout the kingdom.
Coal Richardson ; Caecilian. He looks plump at first, but can stretch his neck, torso, and tail out tremendously. He is the head of mining, which means he works directly under Terastios, who owns the mining company.
Roza Kolba ; Reindeer/Camel hybrid. The lower half of a camel and the upper half of a reindeer- she has a big rack on her head and because she has no humps her body uses the udder she has down below to store her reserves. She is the wealthiest person in the entire kingdom just ahead of Terastios himself. She invests in new businesses to make her dosh.
Ares Kynigi ; Owl. Lord of the hunt, this powerful half avian protects the kingdom from dangerous monsters, and also tracks down new livestock or rare plants and materials outside the kingdom borders.
Rine Astrid ; Bounty Hunter. Your biggest threat. He looks like a buff, handsome bull anthro at first but that is only when he is in resting... he is actually a catoblepas. As soon as he smells prey the dormant porcine traits come out and he becomes considerably more bestial and grotesquely muscular. His nickname is the Behemoth because in his hunting form his bull horns are larger than most people are tall.
Marric ; Goat. An experienced mercenary. He is handsome but also grievously scarred supposedly because he has more mercy than a mercenary should. His right leg is a metal rod from the knee down, and his left arm is petrified from the elbow down. You don't have a chance in hell of winning a fight against him... but show him a fun time and maybe he will just look the other way?
There are a bunch more named characters, but these are the big ones. Now Snow is a pro thief, so naturally she knows how to get around locks and sneak, but you could also potentially try to use transformation to get to your goal, and seduction is another option- you can try to fuck your way to victory. You can get to the end without any TF or encountering any adult scenes, but, the option is still there if you want to try it that way. I have an idea who will be romance options, but, I figured I would post my work so far on here and maybe gauge interest and maybe change my mind on who is 'available'. Obviously some people are fully immune and trying to seduce them is guaranteed to fail; royal advisors, the exalt, the general, the married couple, etc. Also one of the seducing options isn't even listed here because its a feral dog- one of the guard dogs, lol, requires you to be able to transform into a dog first so if you didn't go with the TF options, you can't do it.

I am still in basic plotting stages on Snow In Summer so haven't written anything in the CYOA yet. Trying to think of how hard I should make it... don't want people to get caught from something they didn't know to avoid over and over, but if its real easy there is no sense of accomplishment and the skills would seem less relevant, because if its too easy you'd be able to walk through regardless. Will also be tricky balancing combat, because fighting someone will alert everyone that you are there, even if they don't find the body, they will know they're missing. So the fighting approach will automatically be a do-or-die sort of path, more difficult than the others.
I am taking a bit of a break so I have time to think about it anyway. My post-The Shape Of You break has already been longer than I planned :X. I may pick a random erotica to write n release between and then dive into Snow In Summer, because I want to get a decent start in that at least before I start Last Leg.
And yeah, I can see how balancing it can be complicated.
Otherwise I think it's good to take a break like that. I wish you good rest. Or it already ended when I am writing this comment, lol. I don't remember now if the voting thing for the story was before or after this journal. Uhhh... But anyway, I felt a need to respond now because I saw the thing with itch.io was left unclear. >.< I will read soon the rest of the chapter of the book. This time actually really with honesty soon.
