Chimera form

What are some opinions on chimera form for evo.  
I don't think it works very well and always looks weird. (and splits skilltree/playstyle etc.)
Should i remove it and focus more on making special forms more interesting/unique?
With alternate art existing now, i could also add some variants for each special form with some differences.

Comments

I really like the idea of chimera form, all the customization it allows and all, but I feel there is no way right now for it to compete with special forms, specially after you unlock god form. There is really no mechanical reason to use chimera at all. It will underperform against any of the special forms for their roles.

Love the chimera form myself and I'm fine with it staying is as cosmetic. I don't think that's a doable reality without a lot of added art though. Most scenes involving the MC uses the MC human for example brothel shows. I'd love to see variation to scenes involving NPC's depending on which form Evo takes. I doubt that'll be likely though and overall I'm still happy with the game.

I'm more on the chimera side. You could fuse both systems though. F.e. when unlocked all neccesary chimera parts you get a bonus for the special form, say when every part of the MC body is tentacle the stats will get a big lust boost on top and the skills. You could also reuse the special form art for this.

I really like them both, and usually find myself torn between which avenue to pursue. The more I think about it though, the main appeal of the chimera form is the part collecting and the ability to craft your own appearance. So, what if it was purely a cosmetic thing, and the character growth game design leaned fully towards the hybrid/special form system? Alternatively, because I also love the artwork of all the forms so much, what if the chimera appearance only applied when in human form, and the player had some more game-driven incentive to go back and forth between human and creature/forms more often? (Apologies if my knowledge is terribly out of date... I recently got back into the game and am trying to finish a playthrough of 0.9.7 before loading up the current release...)

i like the chimera form, it scratches that character creator itch and its fun to make a weird chaos spawn incarnate i think the special forms should be significantly stronger while narrower in scope

I like it and don't think it looks weird and I like the art. Maybe allow people to still pick skills themselves based on the core form so it would basically only determine stats and movement type? True that it is in some conflict with the special forms, which I personally rarely use. Maybe both could be combined somehow, that the special forms are a certain combination of body parts?

Chimera form is really cool and visually interesting (if sometimes chaotic/weird, but I think it's mechanically somewhat odd how it fits/doesn't fit with the special forms, and it might be best for the game to remove it.

While I like playing with the chimera form I don't use it very often so if it gets removed I wouldn't miss it to badly. If I could make a suggestion regarding new special forms it would be cool to see elemental forms like a fire form or shadow form. It would also be nice to see the older special forms get some updated artwork. If the chimera form stays however one thing that would be good to add would be the ability to change skin and eye color if that's even possible. Anyway I hope this gave you a few ideas.

The alternate art for special forms sounds like a way better implementation of chimera forms.

I like the chimera form; it's a very unique mechanic for evolution to have and lets you specialize your MC in interesting ways. If anything I'd prefer special forms be rolled into it somehow, like combinations of certain parts result in unique qualities.

i kinda like it, you can make some very nice looking centaur forms in it, and the art you did is super lovely like most of the art you make, but iits a bit at odds since in order to actually be strong you tend to make a chaotic mishmash that doesnt really look good. and if you had to choose between trying to make more stuff for it and making more special forms that had cohesive looks and interesting features, id have to say that the special forms would win
