Info/Rules for Squirrel Situations
a year ago
So! This is an interactive I've thought about doing for a while. I have a spreadsheet of encounters and a lot of fun stuff in mind. Here's what you can probably expect from the comic!
This is not a serious game.
I'm kind of doing this off the cuff, for the most part. Percentages of success are just based off my own feelings on the matter and not necessarily logic that makes sense. I'm not a brilliant strategist or game creator, I'm just doing this for fun. x3 If something doesn't make sense.....oh well!
The comic will follow my own tastes.
As in, I have male partners, I have female partners. There will be vore and there will probably be digestion. There might not always be vore. There could be unbirth, anal vore, cock vore, maybe even absorption or breast vore if things go that way. There's going to be clothed people and there's going to be unclothed people. There's lots of possibilities! If you have questions on whether some character is male or female, if that's really a huge sticking point? Then just ask me about it before you place a vote. There's a comment box underneath these submissions for a reason. :D
Squirrel is also equally capable of being pred or prey! If he's matched up with some bigger partner, it might be harder to eat them, but it won't ever be impossible! I have many, many belly shapes on my model right now, and by golly I'm hoping to get to use them. x3
The lives system!
It exists! You'll start with three lives.
Why is there a lives system? Because I like stakes and I like people losing lives!
What's going to happen when all the lives are lost? I don't really know yet! It might be something I collect donations for, ie, x amount of money buys you a new life. It could just lead to narrative implications and teasing. I don't rightly know! But seeing as the tutorial was immediately failed, using the safe option, I'm both wondering if I should make it easier to succeed, and also thinking gee, I don't want the game to just suddenly end if we lose three lives right away. Who knows!
Style Points!
Ah, yes. This is something I'm just stealing from Humbug. If you succeed in an action and there's some way to do it in a cool way, or you do something especially hard, then I'll just reward you with some Style Points. The way those work is, if I roll and you fail a check, but there's enough Style Points to cover the gap, then it'll use up those points and you'll succeed! So, say, if you have 10 Style Points, and I need to roll a 25 or higher to succeed, but I roll a 19? Then 6 Style Points will get used to turn that 19 into a 25, making you succeed! And any leftover points will carry over, so in this case, you'd have 4 Style Points left.
Hopefully I don't forget to include them. x3
After a section is completed!
I'll probably find some way to stick all of the panels together in some sort of PDF or something, and then upload it as a single submission instead of a ton of individual comics. If.....I find a place to host things. Or maybe I'll just do like I normally do with the vrchat comics and make some sort of single submission here that points to the multiple submissions on itaku. x3
After a section is complete, I also could go back and do "failure" versions of things. Because why not. That might be another donation incentive. :D (Maybe I should start a patreon for this stuff, ha.)
There is no timeline for updates!
If I get busy or have to step away for a bit or whatnot, then I'm going to do that. If I start working on audio or music, then I'm going to do that. This interactive is just a fun summer project for me. x3 And I'm trying not to go over the top (ignoring the huge introduction that was made) but if I get burnt out then I get burnt out. x3
What world/model is that?
If I forget to include attribution then go ahead and ask me about it! All the models will be ones that I purchased in a fit of FOMO upon hearing that gumroad was closing up NSFW shops, but also so that I knew I could use them without any question of it being in a grey area. Can't always trust that someone uploading something to VRChat is doing so with permission from the model creator!
I want to donate money cause this is cool!
Well, it's not necessary, but thank you! I have a ko-fi going over here, that's probably the best option. x3

What happens if there's a vote tie?
I can't believe this has already happened, but it did. x3
In this case, here's what I'm doing, for now. I'll roll for both options, and whichever one succeeds, that's the one that I'll go with. If both succeed, or both fail, then I'll be the tiebreaker. That way, there's a fair chance of there being at least some sort of success! If this happens though, I won't give out any style points, cause rolling for both options effectively increases the options of a success altogether. At least, if my math is right.
This, of course, is contingent on there not being any duplicate votes being counted. The site, poll-maker, tells me that it's filtering out duplicate votes. But if I see someone spamming a ton of votes on one thing, I might be more suspicious of it over time. x3 I'm guessing anybody doing that lately just wanted to see the results, though, so I'll make sure to put that See Results button on the poll so you don't have to vote in order to see results. x3
Other questions!
Feel free to ask and I'll answer them! :D

Can our own characters get cameos in the comic?

OP
Featured? I dunno. Probably not, for now. x3 I've spent a while getting things figured out for what I already have and all, ha. But if someone had a model and was willing to full-body-track, or let me use their model for posing, then that could be something? Something in the future, anyway. I'm mentally filing that under "bonus content that may or may not happen because I really need to not get ahead of myself yet". x3
