I've been learning Unity in preparation to finish up Dogress Bar, which is coming along very differently than how I originally intended it. While I still think a virtual pet would be a very neat theme for a TF game, I really struggled to find a way to make using a v-pet actually, y'know, fun, haha. So, with the shift in gameplay direction, I decided to shift the visual presentation as well, adding a whole new dimension!

Dogress Bar, in its current form, will be a very short 3D pseudo-rhythm game, focused on F -> F dog TF. I learned the basics of Blender and made the character models and some animations during Bendzz's recent game jam, and I built a small dice rolling app in a few days to learn Unity, C#, and Unity's shadergraph.

Now I have most of the assets and all of the skills I need to finish up Dogress Bar! Now I just need to figure out how far to go with the transformation.... The story works equally well with the main character ending up anthro or semi-feral, but it seems like I should go for just one. Hmmm....

Edit 8/24/2022:

Semi-feral had a few very vocal proponents, but most people I asked preferred anthro (or suggested taur! That was actually pretty frequent).

So, here's a preview of my rough draft of the transformation:

As I explained in my comment to WaffleGod17 below, this is pretty far from final.

I’m not sure if this character, or even this visual style will be what I end up with for the final product (who knows, I might let my scope creep up a bit and try to do more than one character), but this model was adapted from a model by Chained-Tan.
