The music choice made everything feel quite mysterious and reinforced the remarkable circumstances of the real time morphing.

I like this method of panning rendered panels as well since it encapsulates the narrative in a way that doesn't require voice acting but allows for a nicer quality image.

Thanks for sharing Mighty L!  8)

Thanks for sharing this work of art, chris10000.

It's pretty cool seeing all these people cosplay caryatids and lawn furnishings.  😀

Thanks for sharing this well painted morph Condorman.

Since 'Artie' bought Cheryl the life changing tomes I'm guessing it was more of a long term gift to himself than for her.  😉

Artie not knowing Cheryl's capacity for memorization and repetition along with the Type A personality that demands perfection, and thusly much practice, makes for the ironic awesome in Artie's predicament. While his inner monologue is saying "Uh Oh" his canvas concealed cartoon piston seems to indicate otherwise.

Well if there could be a River City Ransom / Streets OF Rage hybrid with lots of upgrades as a result of careening through defeated gangers pockets I'd play that in an instant.

An Amazon Side scrolling Action game with the 'Power-Up' moments from Altered Beast represented on screen as attributes improve or change would rock.

The female Crackdown crime curb stomper superhuman Agent would be great, budola_z.

Yeah joey7x, the sim idea seems pretty dry on second thought.

I'm wondering what can be accomplished through our, folks capable and willing to provide work hours, shared means of production?  :-

Female Body Builder or Amazon?

Tossing a couple of theoretical daydreams for a games I'd find some fun in.

Some ideas are more than likely repeated from other threads and swapped from games involving cars, mecha and pocket pitbulls.

(EDIT- Reason you linked to exactly the thread I dimly remembered thank you for potent recall. :> )

There could be a Female Body Builder manager/trainer simulation with different modes based on the difficulty. Easy mode might have the sliders for genetic potential wide open and allow one to craft a one in a million covergirl mesomorph for whom unnatural gains are perfectly normal.

Normal mode might have the specific numbers hidden and instead have victory come from prudent nutrition and setting the right sorts of schedule. Specific body types for potential trainees could still be chosen but the overall best muscle groups would have to be discovered over months of game-time training. Minigames could be resisting straying from diet and coming in as 'cut' as humanly possible.

Hard mode completely in the dark as to the trainee's entirely randomized potential. This would be the most simulation heavy but also be unrealistic for the purposes of increasing difficulty. Taking into account that the conditions for training might not be entirely optimum. Importing a trainee from Hard mode into Normal mode might add a bonus to the willpower stat just for being able to do so much with so little. Hard mode might reflect those FBB'ers that have to train in secret due to their society's ill view of buff ladies. The importing to lighter difficulty could be handled by the trainee making it to a better situation.

Numbers that could really give the players a sense of accomplishment, as well as the virtual FBB, might be 'Gains' reflected in some equation resulting from the interaction of 'Calorie Intake', 'Lean muscle Mass' and 'Weight Class'. Gains could also be modified through the most popular feature 'Measurements'.

The math aspect seems the most possible with a rough polygon model that changes based on the factors involved in training and success in each minigame.

Appearance would be entirely customizable in Easy mode with Hard mode being entirely randomized. Normal mode might have Randomization shouldn't take forever in order to allow players to get some crazy weird combinations in their trainee's potential.

This engine might also have a Strength Contest mode if a one wants their trainee to put those muscles to greater use than occasional pageantry.  😉

Grip, Agility and Endurance would factor into the final Strength ranking.

For a weird angle money values might be connected to training duration, dieting and suppliments. While it shouldn't impact gameplay an easily observable stat indicating just how MUCH money and  time, both duration of play and in-game,it can take a trainee to make it to champion would serve as a gentle reminder that people go down this tough path in reality.

So the math of the simulation might be a good first step. Once the matrix is done any sort of connection to the graphics could be multi-tasked by other enthusiasts shortening your work load considerably.

If polygons are too much of a pain in the arse might the Fire Pro Wrestling school of nappy sprite art be preferable? Heck there have been some amazing Flash games that simulate changes to figure quite convincingly. You're the journeyman game forger you tell us.  😀

Mirages of a muscle trainer sim with the drop-in graphics customizability of MUGEN Fighting dance behind the eyelids.

Thank you for interrogating Rob Banbury's brain for art know-how, Reason.

Your generosity in supporting this sort of art with the pocketbook is only matched with that in sharing it with us.

Very cool and informative as well.  8)

I think the story name was formatted this way.

Thanks for sharing your written musings, Newshound.

Hello northern Neighbor!

From the entry picture on your site you seem to be quite skilled in line work.

Do you happen to have a gallery online where more of your work can be seen?

Thank you for stepping from the shadows of lurk-ville to introduce yourself.  🙂

[Cowprobe]

ABzome has a nice variety of work. I like the luminescent studies in his PIXIV account.

Thanks for combing foreign shores for such interesting material, elee0228.  8)

Not much here but those twins are very easy on the eyes.

Mr.J's style doesn't grab me in the brain like some others but I appreciate you allowing me to see it.

Thanks for looking this up, elee0228.
