X-RAY update part 1

Update 20210519v1


-X-ray/Cross-section  for humanoid pregnancies implemented. Press "V" or "Num5" to toggle.  Only visible when no scene is playing and from side and front view. Back  view looked too creepy.
-alt+enter to maximize screen. I've never intended for my sprites to be stretched like that, so do it at your own discretion.
-You  can now cancel scenes by holding "alt", "C" or "Num4" for 3 seconds.  Costs 30 Will (green stat) and fails if not enough. Doesn't apply to  location based scenes, i.e flesh wall.
-For the purpose of testing mechanics, you can wake up by interacting with the bed in the dream.

Have not updated controls guide as still reviewing the scheme.
I don't keep track of bug fixes I make.

More about X-ray:
The  pregnancy framework has been redone completely to accommodate xray,  keep track of more pregnancy details and prepare for birth framework, so  I expect new bugs that affect belly sizes. I've ran tests but there's  too many for me to catch everything, sorry in advance. It will probably  take time to spot everything.

Humanoid pregnancy consists of 10  stages. Every cycle advances it by a stage. Currently the only way to  get it at stage 1 is through Venus: when not pregnant, it rolls between  one to quadruplets.
At stage 9 and 10 each one becomes its own  entity, so potentially allowing to mix them up or for me to animate  them. Currently there's just occasional eye and mouth movement, color  swaps and harlequin's tentacle hair.
Different sizes look weird but that's my best effort.
Still no birth animation, please use the reconstruction machine to reset characters for now.
All  in all, I am disappointed how it turned. This was a lot of work for  seemingly little payback, and poor visuals, but I hope to use the  framework for more interesting things later. Maybe I will redraw these  at a later date too. May end up an absolute disaster to maintain if I  try to change how pregnancy works again.

Next up is adding eggs  and monster variations. Currently, there is no intention to do a view  for stomach/guts. If you can find me some reference material on how that  would look like at inflated sizes, I can give it a try.

More about Optimization:
Have  done some of optimization, which may or may not have broken everything,  but this saved me an extra 300 fps in debug. Unfortunately, the demo  area runs on legacy code, so may not be as noticeable.

Just got a chance to play the demo, wanted to say it has a promising start. While I'm not familiar with the game maker engine, I can say I understand how difficult it can be to produce a variety of scenes depending on the pregnancy level. All I can say is don't make it too complex that it gives you a headache when trying to add something new but then have to account for many different variables. That said, wonderful game, keep up the great work!

Sounds good! Is up to you friend.

Nah, it's a very common question I get. Maybe I can make it alternate with the wrench.

Unnie

Aaaah. Lol don't worry about it

Ro

Older versions used it for the vent instead of wrench. I left it there as a joke. I think I should remove it in the next version as it's just causing confusion now.

Unnie

Is there a function for the screwdriver?

Ro

Don't think there's enough people for that.

Unnie

looks good ;) should get a discord going

Fixed. I initially posted it on Pixiv and copied. Looks like they insert themselves into the hyperlink.

Unnie

First link isn't working for me. It's leading to some japanese site
