NPC 014: A shrine guardian's stored power
🕑 Added 2025-02-03 21:46:36 +0000 UTCWhen Malphosia left, she told few and gave her reasoning to even fewer. Those she took with her were so small in number that there presence went unnoticed. Those left behind found abandoned workstations or old artifacts for which they had no use for. Without a reply from the goddess and her powers in the world seemingly unresponsive, most worshipers gave up and left the shrines abandoned.
Many shrines were plundered and vandalized, but most remained either hidden or well defended by golems and gargoyles. Yet not all shrines are fully abandoned. Some are still maintained by what few guardians remain in the world. Staunch believers in their goddess, these shrine guardians have heard her words and kept to their promises to protect the shrines.
As one such guardian, Mun remains and may even have some knowledge of why Malphosia left as well as some other potential advice. Though her time defending the shrine has also left her standoffish and paranoid. A hoarder of magical energy as one might call her. Maybe she isn't ready to handle all of it at once and you might need to actually help her reverse the effects if you want to know more.
Here's Mun's tf! This one was... well it is daunting due to what I really wanted to do. Instead of just making her a blimp, I wanted to make her method of 'defending' be that she just got so big she filled a doorway. At first I had her bloating around a doorway, but I didn't like the look so swapped it to more of a 'filling the whole room' kind of feeling. A fellow artist suggested the puffs of air to imply she was getting really tight. Hopefully everyone likes this!
The next girl will be a talimari Saint! And I am 100% taking it easy on her tf. She's just going to get some big ol fat melons and that's all! (Ok maybe I won't be able to help myself and maybe I'll make them extra big)

Understandable. Cheek puff is hit or miss sometimes and it definitely wonβt make or break anything.
Brandon Cater
Ah I actually avoid puffy cheeks usually. I could try to do an alt version for when she's swelling up doing kind of like cheek puff to imply she's filling full of magic gas.
Boxi Bloon
Ah this oneβs excellent. The double puff delay and roundness. Very much appreciated, well done. Might also be cool to add a tiny bit of βcheek puffinessβ to her profile picture given how taut she looks.

You can either just reply here and leave feedback, or you can message me privately if you prefer.
Manjibutt
Ok cool! Where would be the best place to discuss this or to share any feedback?
Brandon Cater
Of course! I'd like as much feedback as possible! I can't promise I will be able to change or add stuff 100%, but I'd still like to hear.
Manjibutt
Ah, I see! Well, in that case, I would be open to providing a little personal feedback, if you'd like some
Brandon Cater
Yep! Though do mind you I would like to continue to weave expansion/inflation into the gameplay as much as I can so I'm always looking for ways to 'expand' on the gameplay in a way for it to be both fetishy and action platformer and not just one or the other.
Manjibutt
Ohhh, I see. So for now, the game is very much just a long action platformer with a lot of the player mechanics until you get the rest of the NPCs and side content implemented right?
Brandon Cater
Oh yah! The NPCs aren't in the game just yet. I will add them in a later version when I implement the NPC expansion system. I just want to be able to make it so you can expand them, but also like, reset it if you wanna see it again and such. So it'll still be a bit until they show up.
Manjibutt
Oh I see. Cuz I got to the forest area and was confused as to why I hadn't really encountered much of anyone being bloated up. The game felt more like an action platformer than an expansion fetish game
Brandon Cater
Most of the NPCs will just be in the world for you to find and then use a special item on to transform them. You'll be able to talk to them and they'll have some stuff to say too. I will also probably do a few side quests along the way that can involve a few NPCs. Example being that I would like to take the blimp gobbo from before and make it so you can inflate her. Then she will give you a quest to inflate her even more and she will become an airship. Which I would like that to enable you to go 'somewhere'. I will likely do a couple of things with the NPCs like that. Though sadly most of the NPCs will just be 'fun to expand' and talk to, but not much else. As for the main story though, it mainly involves Aria trying to rescue Milara and is focused on how Illaria and Milan interact with one another and how Milan influences Illaria writing the story. (And how it changes the story) But the NPCs that get voted on here likely won't have too much impact on that main story. MAYBE I could find a way to involve them somehow, but I don't currently have a plan for it. But I am always open to ideas!
Manjibutt
Do any of these characters become inflated in the game's story? π€
