New Monster Species

My favourite part of any update is getting out new monster species for you guys to encounter! This time we're meeting the Kappa; long-tongued, athletic frog folk.

The Kappa are the most varied monster species to date, with a wide variety of colors and markings! 
Previously, Taurals had a range of spots on each monster, but I was inspired by the many forms of frogs that I had to take it further with the Kappa.

On the female Kappa, their hair buns are inspired by the eyes of frogs that poke up above the water; a concept I also couldn't resist throwing in with some booty on one of their stickers.

Gender Changes

One of the oldest problems in the Monster Ambassador series has always been the player's gender. I wanted the series to allow as much freedom as possible, because I grew up in a time when 99% of adult games (and games in general) had a straight white male protagonist. As a bi female game dev, that leaves a lot of ground uncovered.

In the original Monster Ambassador game, the player could choose to be either gender, and had scenes with every monster in the game. Unfortunately, that created a huge art load that I couldn't continue with Redux. For those who don't know, Melon was my artistic partner for the original titles in 2018, but has since had to move on to his own projects. As a solo dev, it become overwhelming to create four scenes for every monster species; FemPlayer x FemMonster, FemPlayer x MaleMonster, MalePlayer x FemMonster, MalePlayer x MaleMonster. 

At the beginning of Redux, I lessened the art load by having two options for gender:



Clearly this left a lot to be desired. I could more easily add breasts into a scene, because each gender would be able to have the same base pose! But there wasn't a true female option, or opportunities for the player to have a FxF experience. 

In this update, I'm happy to announce that the player now has the ability to change gender to match the preferences of each ambassador! 
When you begin the game, you receive this pendant: 


When you speak to ambassadors, you'll now see their gender and the gender that you'll switch to if you engage in intimate scenes with them! This should let players better decide when they want to enter a scene, and opens up much more opportunity for different interactions. 

New NPC

But where does this new pendant come from? You'll receive it from someone new at the embassy; a perky human named Piper!

For now, she just has the pendant as a gift for you. In the future she'll be running an exciting new feature in the Embassy, and have special Patron-exclusive scenes with the player!

New Biome

Of course, with the introduction of the Kappa, they needed somewhere to live! And where better for frogs than a mysterious Marshland, wet and dangerous (or so you're told).



The slimes have also found their true home here, out from the forest.  

The Final Touches

Of course in every update there are more NSFW scenes added! No exceptions this time.

There was also one final feature that's been much-asked for; resolution options will now allow players to play on their laptops, or see a bigger version on a desktop PC! The resolution options pop up immediately when you start the game, so if the player is too large you should be able to immediately switch to a playable size.

Farewell for now,
