I aint against vore, and I very much enjoyed Echidna Wars, one of D-Gate's games (dryad is the best girl) but at the same time... I get it, but as a GTS fan, a bit more variety would have been sex. Don't get me wrong, for the wandering girls who do go for vore (four of five, as you stated Goblins unbirth Youki) it fits them well, the madragora perfectly, swallowing Youki to her stomach immediately fits her well, just like a carnivorous plant, and the harpy too- it was a good suggestion to have her swallow multiple times while tilting her head up, just like real life birds. Zombie-chan is the cutest of all, I love how she holds Youki like a toy a first before suckling her, best of the three in my opinion. It does fit the akaname, but for the sake of variety I wish she was more creative with her tongue.
I do appreciate the unbirth where it comes, but there's so much more- footplay, handplay, armpits, thighs, butts, oppai, etc etc. Maybe it would have been nice to get the kunoichi in there with her bare feet, grab Youki between her toes and either step on her or rub her between her feet.
The three-way animations though, those are a goldmine of potential. I hope there are more on the way, imagine two goblins scissoring with Youki inside of both, or a goblin rubbing Youki into a zombie's crotch, or an akaname probing another girl with her tongue, Youki at the tip... Maybe something for the player who decides to interrupt the zombie and the harpy too.
You're right though, the giant gargoyle boss (both, but the first especially) is excellent, the mouthplay was superb, and the succubus is shaping up to be nice too.
You know, the game is oozing character- the idle animations, the way Youki holds her skirt down when she falls, just about everything the goblins have- a true labor of love there. Their dizzy animations when stepping on a rake or getting hit with a box are so cute, and as I mentioned before, the way they squat when they try to look for Youki, all great.
At the same time though, and hey, maybe it's just a hard mode thing, maybe it's just my pipe dream, but a huge appeal of that level to me is the role reversal. All throughout the game Youki's been barreling through foes, but none more than the game's signature trash mob, the goblins.
When Youki shrinks though, that changes. She's still more than capable, but now even goblins are a serious threat. The fact that when they grab her while small, the girl who two-shots them with her most basic weapon, or breaks their necks like a packet of spaghetti is in her hands, is the goblin worried?
No, she starts masturbating and pushes Youki inside herself like a toy. That slick, tight tunnel of a goblin like any other the other hundreds she's killed constricts and squeezes around her as it moves her toward her womb, imprisoning her deep inside the lowest member of the demon army's body as the green girl goes about her ditzy, trashmob life, plus one savior of the human race within her.
That, that's the seriously gourmet shit right there. The lowest, weakest member of the demon army becoming a deadly foe that's best avoided, and there are plenty of them.
Personally, I feel their idiocy is highlighted already by their tendency to fall for their own traps, or when they voluntarily shrink themselves to try to feed Youki to a gargoyle. But when they crouch and spot her, I feel it should be a much harder time escaping personally- both their sight and their grasp. On that note, when any girl steps on Youki and damages her that way, that should immediately give her away too.
I haven't actually seen them crouch upon being attacked, but that they can die to those attacks suggests to me they should be a bit more responsive. I don't know, I just feel as-is it seems the seriousness of being so small is a bit underutilized, but maybe I'm desiring a different game for that. Still really want to play this one though- I've been bellyaching a lot, but it's because I think this game looks rad.
Onto the trivia though: I did not know that Youki was a goblin, I thought she was an oni. Really, I thought she was a callout/love letter to the story of the tiny warrior who fought onis with a needle; A belief I thought solidified by the giant stage. Funny coincidence that.
Everything Nana suggested I'm in love with, lol. Your suggestion for the harpy though was really good, and the abruptness of the mandragora swallowing Youki fits her nature as an ambush predator, but since the initial swallow is so fast I do kind of wish that escaping was more detailed- as is you just kind of pop out with I-frames. Imagine if she crawled her way back up her throat, causing the mandragora to try to fight to keep her down before she got free? Would take effort to animate though, I know. Also, Nyara is a fantastically designed character. I feel the bat motif for succubi has fallen off for some reason, so it's nice to see her bring it back, and she does it well. Is she gonna be the heroine of his next game, or the boss?
Once again, the Tom and Jerry inspiration was, well, inspired.
It's pretty flipping neat you have a line to the game's creator- I'm studying Japanese, but it's a slower process than I'd like. Do you have any more news on the game? Future plans for this one in the way of bug fixes, new content, or a new game?
