Some witch-related costume suggestions

[FarOut]

I make a lot of witch-themed toons. As such, I would like to make a few costume suggestions:

 

1. Witches' Broom - a temporary power that is functionally exactly the same as a jet pack/flying carpet, but looks like the witches' brooms that the Cabal uses in Croatoa.

 

2. Domestic Cat vanity pet - like a witches' familiar. Lots of other toon themes could benefit from this, too.

 

3. Allow ears with hoods - and let elf ears just clip through the sides of the hood.

 

4. Hood with long hair - a hood that has long hair coming down onto shoulders/chest a little, but not so much that it is likely to interfere with other costume parts.

 

5. Hood in "back" position - I guess this would be considered a backpack or a mantle.

"Hood Back" would look nice as a collar option on "Over the Shoulder"

Witch broom temp power is the least likely of these suggestions to happen as it would require new custom animations that there is just no budget to develop. Remember, this is a nonprofit set up, so while they can set up donation requests to fund running the game, generating revenue to hire someone to specifically create content like new animations just isn't going to happen. Best we're going to get is recycled stuff and the occasional freebie that the developers are able to pull off on the own, like when they gave us the innertube emote.

 

Domestic cat vanity pet seems doable.

 

Elf and other ears clipping with hoods, along with a host of other options that clip should be made available but aren't for what I'm guessing are misguided "quality" concerns. They should open up all the options and let players decide what works instead of telling us what they think doesn't work.

This would be awesome. I suppose it would be a Back Detail, so it would be great to have options with a cape and without.

If it were implemented like the rocket sled or flying carpet/disc, suppressing all your other powers while active, it might be possible to steal the pose from the witches in Croatoa and implement it that way; the sticking point would be the activation/deactivation animations; I don't know if stealing the mount/dismount from, say, Rocket Sled would fit well enough.

I think you could get away with a puff of smoke as you got on or off to handwave getting on and off the broom.

This seems the easiest way to do it.
