1-]. How is the development of the game going currently? When will you upload new progress?

2-]. Have you thought that at some point, you will make a horror game (after the development of this game), or a level within the game with a horror aesthetic? If so, could you tell us what the game mechanics could be like?

2.1-]. If so, will there be paraskirt? And also how does this mechanic complement horror?

3-]. How are you currently with your life? (I am quite concerned about the inactivity of such cases 😅😅😅)

4-]. Will there be more games of your characters???

5-]. In the prototypes that you showed, I could see the mechanic of pushing the skirt, so that it turns over and you plummet, do you plan to one day bring the mechanic back (with some other sprite change) or has the mechanic simply been completely discarded???

thanks for answering me

1-] I have an idea for how Cancella will go from releasing her dark magic to paraskirting. She'll stand on top of her backpack as dark roots emerge from it. Once she's in the air, she will puff her skirt out like a parachute.

2-] The only place I think would be a good fit for a horror level would be when Vanneli found Cancella's secret hideout.

2.1-] You will still be able to paraskirt like in the rest of the game.

3-] My arm hurts from animating so much which is why there aren't as many sketches this time.

4-] Yes. I plan to make another game with the same characters, one that's closer to Rayman 3 or Super Mario 64.

5-]. That was the original falling animation before I changed the floating to be closer to Rayman Legends. If it makes it easier to know if you are paraskirting or not, I can bring it back.

Thank you for the questions!

I made running to where it no longer needs a dedicated run button. If you move along a straight path with no jumping, you will start running.

Something like that shouldn't be too hard to implement if I reuse animations strategically as seen below. Given the focus of the game I am more than comfortable making just an optional minigame.

I decided on having Vanneli and Amelice kick downwards for their down attacks.

1-) could you show us some sketches of what the defeat screen would look like and the ones of the bar you mentioned a while ago of such a layered bar of the dress.?

2-) what age will the game be for (I'm just saying this because of some doubts I have about the parachute dresses community).

3-) Will the umbrella you mentioned be a power up? And if so, will we use it as a sword and/or will we also use the handle of the umbrella to slide like in a zip line?

4-) Do the characters have very short pants? And also do you open any animation where the character's dress rises while falling exposing what he/she has underneath? (Sorry again for the stupid question 😓😓😓😓)

5-) could you give a concept art of how the first Boss and his attacks would look like?

6-) Is there a beach world where there are crabs and the Boss is a Reyna or pirate king?

7-) Is there any store where they sell things like Power-ups and other things?

8-) Is there a tutorial world? I say this since in your deviantart you posted a girl who was like the teacher who taught vanelli (sorry if I said it wrong😅) to use her dress as a parachute.

Thanks for solving my questions and good luck.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Thank you for the questions!

1-) That could refer to multiple things. Are you talking about the dress getting more layers when you can take more hits or the level progress bar?

2-) I want this game to be for all ages. How I am going to achieve this is keeping upskirts to a minimum as that seems to be the most contentious part of parachute skirts.

3-) It's going to be how Vanneli will attack. Her dress is already her parachute so you will be able to attack and float at the same time.

4-) Given the current state of parachute dresses I would rather stay away from showing any undergarments in the game.

5-) As the first major mechanics of the game are ropes and ladders the first boss will test your skill in using them. The boss will be airborne for a majority of the fight but I already have a rough sketch of the area the battle will take place.

6-) I don't know what a Reyna is. Sorry about that.

7-) There will be a shop that sells you various assists like starting with a powerup or adjusting your gliding prowess.

8-) I may change the preview image for the tutorial but the current one does convey how to enter levels (outside of showing the button you need to hold to enter them).

1-) Will there be male characters too (I say this because you have in your deviantart some male characters)?

2-) After the project will you create more games? And if so, will you make crossovers with other games and/or cartoonists? (And I say this because I would be interested to see how one of your characters would fit in another game as a playable character).

3-) Why do you like "Paraskirt" so much and how did you know it? And also what inspires you to go forward in your goals and work?4-) What is your inspiration for "Paraskirt", a family member or a friend?

5-) Did Vanneli before Hiba not be a princess? And if so, what was she going to be? (I say this because I had seen some time ago in your "X" [Twitter] that Vanneli looked more like a colleague maybe? [That's what I see in the drawing XDDDD])

6-) Is there any possibility of you adding a character for a collaboration or a DLC that has special abilities? (Like if she can do a dash and/or hold on to the walls to climb them?

7-) Would you like to see him in a FNF mod where your character Vanneli is one of the opponents? And if so, what would you like to see in the mod (like for example the character being a Girlfriend and using her dress as a parachute) [Could you give us some pictures of how the mod would look like and also its mechanics if there will be any?]

I hope you are well.

Best regards.

Thank you for the questions!

1-) Male characters will also make an appearance in the game.

2-) After SkySkirts I will create more games. I have a friend who already has ideas for a game he wants to make which gives all the more reason to finish the game as quickly as I can.

3-) One day in middleschool was a superhero day where you were allowed to dress up as a superhero. One girl was dressed in a big fluffy skirt which caught my attention for some reason. Her costume is provided in a sketch. This combined with the Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole scene and some now deactivated DeviantArt users put my love for "Paraskirt"s as they were known into full force.

4-) "Paraskirt" is a portmanteau of the words "Parachute" and "Skirt".

5-) Vanneli's original design was less princess like and more like a generic anime catgirl since at the time of making the first version of her I had played OneShot(the first game from Steam I played). After redesigning her to be more like a mix of Niko from said game, Star Butterfly and Princess Peach, I saw much more parachute potential in her. When first revealing her in 2020 a select few liked her. To me, that meant I'm doing something right and should expand on her more and now here I am making a game with her in it.

6-) If I add a character with different abilities I would need to make Vanneli's parachute dress be just as versatile. If a DLC character could dash I would have to make Vanneli jump higher or start running sooner, and if a character could climb up walls I would have to add wall jump tech WITH her parachute dress.

7-) If the mod is going to take place in the sky then Boyfriend would float with his pants as a balloon with everyone using their dresses as a parachute. The only interesting mechanic I can think of is notes that wear skirts will be slower than the normal notes.

1-). Can you give us some picture of how the air vents will work and how they would look like?

2-). will there be any enemy launching like roots or chain traps which will get entangled in the skirt blocking the ability to use it as a parachute until some time has passed or using some kind of ability? And if so, can you show us a drawing of what his attack would look like?

3-). Will there be any way to attack as it uses throwing stars or will it be more that we would have to stomp the enemies style as super Mario?

4-). While we are floating with the parachute dress will we be able to kick like this to attack underneath us like Princess Peach does in Super Smash Bros Ultimate?

5-). In the multiplayer if a player loses he won't be able to glide until some time passes or he will disappear and his teammates will save him? And if the player loses and stays in the game, will those players be able to grab the legs or the back of their teammate to glide until they can?

6-) What age will the game be for?

#Thank you for answering me and please post sketches if possible to know how it will be.

Thank you for the questions!

1-). Air vents in the game will create updrafts that the player can ascend if they parachute their skirt.

2-). Not sure if these vine monsters should be the hunter equivalent or not. I'm hoping to make the most common enemies in the game themed around parachute skirts. Ideally I would want ones that wear them if they can float.

3-). There will be a Rainbow Star Blast powerup alongside your melee parasol attacks.

4-). If you attack while floating with the parachute dress you will use your parasol or kick like this if you press the corresponding direction* as you attack.

5-). I had this idea that when defeated you will go into a silky cocoon or ball that will float around if your teammates touch it before they do the same they will save you.

6-) In an earlier post I said I was aiming for all ages. You will not be able to see any undergarments for this reason.

*as opposed to cancelling your float and slamming down to the ground in Rayman Legends
