Thoughts On a Hair Toggle

I've been working on sketches of the additional guys from the full game: Jed, Brad, and Phil.

They look utterly different hairy vs. smooth.  I'm reluctant to show the hairy vs. smooth sketches right now because fans of either will be disappointed (if not irate) if I decide to go the other route.  XD

Brad for sure is the hairiest of all the guys, but what about all the others (Mark, Ian, Jed, Phil, Alex)?

If condom use ends up having a "toggle switch", I wonder if hairiness should ultimately have a toggle-switch too?

Technically, I'd need to put all the body hair on one layer, on both the sprites and CGs.  Unless I'm forgetting something, hitching that layer to a variable, theoretically, shouldn't be that difficult.

Ideally, I'm thinking the first play through would have both hairy and smooth guys.  Maybe if you complete a path for a guy, you can control his hairiness for future play throughs?  If I could figure out how to control the opacity for the hair layer, that would probably be perfect.

In any case...emotions always seem to run high whenever I bring up the body hair issue.  XD

  1. Asians are pretty hairless, and if you don't make Phil too hairy, you can draw some badass tattoos onto him.

  2. My suggestion is to just go with your gut feel and have the hair toggle a stretch goal.
