Roadmap, art drops, and votes all month
Here’s where we are at. Project Evo is almost ready, SR7 has a few scenes left to write, and we are touching up some art. When you play it, it will feel like an alpha, or a rough draft. The core is there, the hints are there, and we want you to see what it can become. Your feedback will help shape it.
Here is how. During the month we will ask you questions about what you liked, and didn't, and what you want to see. From there we take it up to our higher tiered patrons to help fine tune the suggestions. We then fix and repeat until this small game is perfect.
This month you will see sneak peeks of new SU art, get to vote on Evo choices, and get a clear SU roadmap for the next build. You're even going to get to vote on what goes in the next SU update! Something we never have done before.
Think of us as one X-Men team inside the Danger Room. Our team is running the drills, and you are on comms calling the plays. You spot the weak points, we adjust in real time, and the build levels up. Patrons help set the priorities, choose the next targets, and unlock extras that move the whole squad forward. That's the new GG way.
If you are not a patron, that's okay. Free posts like this will keep coming. Tell us what you want to see next in SU, in the comments. Or join the team by supporting, and help steer SU
It is going to be a wild month. We cannot wait to kick it off with you.
Thanks,
Gunsmoke Games

My initial reactions when I found out about Project Evolution may have been a bit long. The current build is great so far, characters look fantastic. Looking forward to seeing and voting on future characters. I have sugestions but so far the early build is great and shows promise. My primary interest is this new project and I may join the support tier at some point to give feedback. Looking forward to the next Preject Evo updates ^_^
I hope we'll see Slut Costumes like SU, i want my slut Rogue and Jean !! Game's already awesome
If this is even remotely as good as or better than Rogue Like Evolution, than I say you have a strong winner. I hope that this new development of yours gets high praise and attention. As for characters, I have my prefferences, Rogue, Laura, Jeane, and an young Emma frost. That was one of the main points I did not like when they added Emma in RL evolution, my faavorite version of her was deffinitly her younger slim version with the straight hairstyle. One thing I hope you don't shy away from is the powers, it would be nice to see the girsl powers and have it look nice. The sexy parts are great and fun but their powers are an interesting factor too. Like Emmas dimond form, I have been dying for a good nude version of her Dimond form for ages, so it would be really great if we could see it in your game. Even if it is just superficial, in like a modeling side game or something, but being able to see the girls with their powers active, clothed and or unclothed, would be an exciting and fun element. You could have it for story related scenes sure, but I would hate to have the use of powers be completely sectioned off to non replayable scenes. Aside from the girls, the look is an imporant factor. Your SU characters and art are great but each parady, and original series has it's own style to some degree and that being captured well will deffinitly impact the reception. There is nothing more upsetting than a well made parody game with lots of content, but the art style isn't hitting the mark of the characters or setting. On the other hand, when the art and style is hit well then it can elevate even a shitty game to higher tear than it deserves. Rogue Like Evolution did a decent job in their style and I wouldn't hate it to continue as is. However, an as of now shittier game that I have seen does have a much more appeasling art style that captures the feel of the series and characters much better. RatedX while much worse as of now than Rogue Like Evolution, but their art style nails it really well. I have a similar complaint about some other games like the only current Kim Possible parody game that is actually still being made. Project Possible, though the content is there but the art and honestly the setting art style don't fit the series or characters, so while having content it still feels like a massive miss. In your X-Men Evo game I hope the art will be different from the exact style you use in SU, it would prefferebly feel different and closer nail the style that feels good for X-Men Evo. I highly sugest you at least look at the character art so far in RatedX, it is hitting the mark well. If you are making this a trainer or corruption game then that is great. Maybe your player character could have a power to manipulate or otherwise control or brainwash the female characters. That would be fun and less passive than what we see in Rogue Like Evolution. I only mention these games becasue they are the only existing ones hitting the similar genre and are worth any time. Though you are hitting similar teritory, how you do it can make your game fun and hopefully very popular. If your X-Men Evo parady game does well, I would really love to see you tackle the Kim Possible series on it's own some day. The fact that that series has so few and not great parody games feels like a crime. Anywho, hope this feedback is somewhat helpful for the start of your new game. The character designs and the art style are massivly impactful, I sincerely hope you will nail these factors and that it won't look exactly like SU. SU art style is great for that game and works really well, but for a different series you would be missing the mark big time if you don't try to capture some (preffereably a lot) of what makes those characters so appealing and distinct, I look forward to seeing what your starting art will look like. I hope this feedback will be heard and I hope that your parody game will be a huge success. I will be looking forward to it and certainly will provide feedback in the future to try and help give informative perspective about the good and the bad points of anything you may put in the game. If you can nail the character style and have good erotic scenes, then that alone would make people enjoy the game alot even if other parts are less than good. Judging by your past work though, I don't think the content parts will be any issue for you.
I am hoping it's popular. SU is fucking great and I wouldn't mind seeing Emma Frost, Psylocke, or X-23 joining the line up.
Could you add more content for vixen?? And more milf characters
If we're strictly sticking to X-men Evo gals, what are the odds of more showing up? Like Wanda, Tabitha, and Mystique? Obviously not in the initial release (I'm assuming we're sticking to Rogue Kitty Storm and Jean for now). If Jubilee is introduced into the game will she be based on her Evo design, or her more iconic design (I know most weren't a fan of how bland she looked in Evo)
All that depends on the popularity of this project. We have loosely planned out 2 other chapters that we can do later on. Thanks for the comment
So, does ideas can be suggested for the builds of SU?
There will be another post for free members coming on the 21st. But if you want to have an active say in SU content then there will be a vote on Oct 30th for patrons of the $5.00 tier
I assume Emma frost will be in later
Not in this chapter.
Will non-X-Men characters be available? And can we get Kamala Khan as the next lady?
No not here. We're really focusing on depth of narrative, and to do that we need to keep the roster tight.
Will we have smaller breast characters instead 90% of them being big?
100% you will. Kitty fits that bill nicely
When can we try the evo beta? 1 week?
It's still coming together, pieces are there, but systems and other things are being put together. It's very close, but I can't give a day
I recall you guys mentioning something about having separate builds for the new updates for SU like you did with the most recent Gotham update. Is that the plan going forward or will the content in standalone versions eventually be integrated to a full build? Hope this makes sense
They are redoing SU in renpy so all future updates will be in one package
Good
Sounds great!
We're working hard on all fronts!
by any chance, are you willing to drop some names of the other girls we will be romancing in this Alpha build?
I think it's just Rogue and Kitty this round. Will probably plant the seeds for Jean and Storm for later
Excited to get my hands on the alpha build as well as the new Themyscira previews!! Also when you say "vote on what goes in the next SU update" are you meaning this upcoming Themyscira build, or the update afterwards? Absolutely fine either way but just wanted to clarify lol
Yes, the votes will be for the Themy build.
When you say writing do you mean coding or actual in game text?
In game dialogue. The protagonist is very much an OC/You so SR7 is having a harder time establishing his personality, and how he would handle the situations. He's very much accustomed to writing for established characters
As someone who still cares more about SU, I’m excited about this changes you are proposing like finally some sneaks peeks, getting to vote on content and a clear roadmap, now it feels like other game patreons and that’s great. Hopefully Evo gets done soon so good luck guys.
