[Poll] [Syrup Town] - V5 Progress and new Hentai University mod

Hello hello all! v5's been chugging along and there's new stuff to talk about. Thankfully I was able to escape playing the new palworld update long enough to make some progress. There's a few things on our agenda to day so let's dive in!

New HU mod: Talia by cptmikehawk420

There's a new mod character for Hentai University by Cap!

She's been added to the online version, just go to the game console:

For offline players you can download her here: https://mega.nz/file/buIXzYpK#6vp2kv55z4T4dgIp9bC0jkVKJmJIQugrGuAz6fHAIYg

Extract in the hentai university folder, then go to game console to enable her.

Her first appearance is in the shopping district. If you get stuck be sure to try checking around in the evening, and be sure to buy the security camera item from the shopping district.

Mary-Lou Finished

The central focus of v5 is done, introducing Mary-Lou. I think she might be a bit too one note, at least until her impregnation. Because I made her third scene so long her entire character ends up being "wants to get pregnant", moving from stuttery nervous gal to 100% done with this impregnate me now over only three encounters.

She's gotten a fair bit of feedback on the public test server, speaking of:

Pocketmanz overhaul conundrum

I was having fun with palworld and decided to make a new card set based on them. **Just for now**, I've disabled the old cards to test ideas on the PTR:

As you can see I made a lot! Finding loose cards can be fun, but I also wanted to try making actual packs. If that one tcg pocket app can make an advent calendar pack-puller fun, maybe I can to? But doing that needs more cards than I currently have.

Still, there's a lot to consider. The design space is pretty overwhelming, there's feral vs anthro versions to consider, flat chest vs booba, normal sized vs shortstackified, and all in addition to whether they have a dongus or a vagoo.

You'll need to use the even the funko pops cheat and it'll show all the pal cards. All the old pocketmanz cards images are broken while I test this stuff.

If you do pop in to look at the cards, be sure to let me know which ones are your favorites so I know what to avoid cutting (If I need to cut any)

I feel like I've managed to break it down enough that I can run a poll:

Question 1: How to organize and display the male/female versions of cards:

Group everything together

+ Omnivores can collect everything

+ No need to add extra buttons

+ All cards display together

+ Combining cards will be easier to code in

- Memory issues due to the amount of cards onscreen

- Similar art between male/female cards will stick out

Separate male and female cards by set

+ Omnivores can collect everything

+ Cleanly separates by carnivore and vegetarian modes

+ No worries about similar male/female art

- More buttons to deal with

- Will need to use brain and think about cross-set card combining

Make female cards replace male cards when in vegetarian mode

+ Way less cards to clean up

+ No need to add extra buttons

+ All cards display together

- Every male card will need a direct female counterpart

- Omnivores won't be able to collect male and female cards

And question 2: Lots of cards, or fewer cards:

Multiple sets of cards per pocketman, combinable collectables

+ Lots of cards

+ I can give player packs of cards instead of singles

+ I can do multiple bodytypes/poses

- Hard to make cards feel distinct and special

- Needs many cards to account for male/female/futa variants

- Less polish per card

- Need to separate cards into pages to prevent memory issues

- Balance between male/female cards might be skewed

One set of cards per pocketman

+ Less cards to clean up

+ Cards feel more memorable / distinct

+ I can be sure there are the same number of male / female cards

- Harder to pick which bodytype I want to go with

- Harder to fill packs

- Lots of art I like will be dropped

Of course direct feedback would be very helpful too. Should I do something specific with rarity? With bodytypes? I haven't coded it in yet, but there are male/female/feral/dickgirl tags in the code for future content filtering.

Keep in mind all the cards have already been generated. I feel I'll probably go crazy trying to cut down and pick just one set per mon, though I could make a dedicated shortstack set later? I don't know, this is all too much brain power for a minor thing meant to make exploration more fun. Please do the brainwork for me...

I can't actually separate into multiple polls so I'll just add all the options at once and let people vote for multiple things.
