Evangelion 2.0 echi dress up for release later this summer!

Sup NewGrounds?

I know I've been saying this for the past 3 years but I'm going to make another dress up game.
For those of you who know me from the cosplay scene, I've had some serious bone up lately to Neon Genesis Evangelion (Check out my CosCom portfolio!) Therefore in celebration of the new Evangelion 2.0 movie, I thought I'd make a dress up game of Asuka Langley Shikinami.
I know a lot of attraction to my previous dress up sets has been due to lots of clothing choices with decent art quality. This time around, I'm just going to have a few outfits for her that are canon to the series (including clothing of some of the other characters) and maybe a few costume outfits that are reoccurring to old school KiSS games(think nurse's uniform, playboy bunny, waitress, etc...) Anyway, I guess what I'm getting at here is that instead of lots of decent tier clothing items, I'm going to have a smaller wardrobe with God tier clothing items. Playing around with the blur filter in Flash CS4 is so much fun since I haven't made a game yet on anything past Macromedia Flash 8.

Anyway, other features I'm planning to include:
- Multiple music tracks
- Multiple backgrounds (any suggestions?)
- Snap to objects
- Unlockable clothing sets (any ideas on how these sets should be unlockable/what kind of clothing should be unlocked?)
- Interactive echi features (What kind of sexy features would you look for in a dress up game?)
- Is there anything else you think should be included in this game? I'm counting on this being my best to date so all suggestions are welcome!

This should be done by the end of the summer. Shouldn't take too long but I'm really enjoying what I have worked on so far and I am absolutely infatuated with the color palette I'm using for this project.
Any questions, comments, feedback or thoughts?

Until we meet again NewGrounds,

nicely done. I've always wanted to Cosplay for a few anime Cons here in Australia but just never had the time to prepare and make. I like your Rei cos ;)

Unlock methods that I've liked in the past:
- minigames
- hidden stuff in backgrounds (not like invisible circles, but little objects you can click on in the scenery)
- certain combinations of clothing/hair/background/etc.
- interacting with the character

background suggestions:
- hospital
- pool
- EVA hangar
- Tokyo-3 overlook
- telephone booth in the mountains from that one scene

Since it's snap-on, I'm not sure if you could fit a randomizer button in there.

Maybe you should add a small soundboard of her voice? As for an unlockable, how about an awesome fan art picture/gif/animation?

Though, I think this is too much to ask, so it should be the last thing on your to do list.

The cosplay ain't bad!

My suggestion for your dress-up game would be more on the interface side of things, even though I admire the amount of clothing you've made in past installments, they do feel awfully cluttered, especially if you want kick ass backgrounds. So the use of buttons to control the changing of clothes would be nice. Even though you're going to focus on a few select set, something to ponder in the future.

As for unlockable clothing, i can only think of putting that clothing out of the stage, out of view. then if you click on a certain spot in the background, it'll bring the clothing out in some X/Y coordinate or something.
