Very peak, I like the plasmids and the way TOG transforms is very unique and interesting. Also how did Prophet become blue and stuff?
thank you so much!! we appreciate your support :,)
also thats a very good question - i realized that we never really went into where the Prophet came from, like we did with all the other characters… maybe we could put this in a future game? i jest, i jest… unless…?!?
but to answer your question, i’d say that Prophet has always been relatively glitchy like that, but has been doing some sort of targeted gene editing to buzz’s own body over time. i think buzz probably materialized someday as a manifestation of a glitch in one of the lab systems, somehow - maybe a result of a mishap in a DNA synthesis machine going way too far? and buzz has been steadily refining the glitchgender up until the events of the first genome hacking, giving buzz the appearance we see today! :D
In this verse is genome hacking used for HRT and cosmetic surgery?
yeah, you could say that! we intended it to be akin to taking any sort of gender-affirming action as a trans person
Awesome!
I LOVE GENETICS, RN ITS 1 AM SO I'LL COME BACK AND PLAY TMRW
