yeah but at the same time abducted toad is a popular existing fangame and if you don't want people to confuse the two it might be best to do something about it rather than just say "well it's not like FD invented pruple toads!!!!"
Very true, but I don't believe confusion will be much of a problem. There's a purple toad and a SMB3 graphical style, yeah, but I think the HUD alone is enough to kinda give it away.
I don't think anybody has gotten confused yet, at least. Noted a similarity, perhaps, but not outright confusion.

Maybe give her an orangeish palette and an Indiana Jones style outfit?
Not too bad an idea, actually. Though, in my experimentation (and yeah, I
am hearing y'all out!), I've found the orange color to blend in too much with her skin tone and generally just not seem all that appealing to me.
I'll have to ask Neweegee to experiment a bit with the outfit thing, if he doesn't mind too much.
I think the purple suits Shiff T. very well, although I wouldn't mind seeing her with an Indiana Jones-esque outfit. I don't think it should really matter too much if it looks too similar to a Toad from a fangame, especially since this is just a fangame, not a game that is being made by a huge company that are trying to get millions of dollars.
Yeah, as mentioned above, I've been experimenting with color schemes and so far the team is sticking with the purple, albeit with the modification of white spots instead of red.
And yeah, that's true. That kind of stuff is much less tolerated when money is involved. While the similarity to Abducted Toad was wholly unintentional, FD has clarified that he's okay with it, however.
Anyway, this project looks pretty interesting. I like how you included the ability to shape-shift into Mario enemies, along with the fact that an at least near fully original soundtrack is being made for this game.
Thank you!
Vim has stated that she may have to duck out of the project to deal with personal stuff, so I'm not sure where that leaves the soundtrack. Maybe I'll find another composer, maybe I'll just use other game music for the rest. I'm really not sure.
