Well, all party members will join and then have to leave at some point, mainly because I just don't want to deal with a party of four and the mechanics involved when everybody loses. But we'll see.

Mm, yes. That strange tile is a result of me shift-clicking in order to get rid of the 'lines' that result from using the floor that I do for the Rogues' Division (which is normally supposed to be a ceiling tile, but I like the way it looks); it was either that or have a vertical line for that tile. But I think I'll do that one instead, since I can see how it would confuse people, so that is already fixed for next patch.
As far as a name selection tool, well, hmm... thing is, in existing conversations and the like I would have to change that appropriately as well. I'll talk to some of my testers and see if this is plausible though, as well as debate the merits of having that bit of 'personalization', since each girl already has an established personality so I'm not sure if it would necessarily help.
A map sounds good.

Yep, my favorite Gwyn pairings are her with Cesca and her with Rhiannon. It was challenging to create some sort of 'dynamic' between the female duelist and each member of the Primary 8, but I think it turned out nice. Now, catgirls is definitely something I wish to add, so you can rest assured that they will make an appearance, perhaps even as early as the next patch depending on how things go. In addition, they aren't the only monstergirls available in 3DCG, so...!
