Random thought. We're essentially designing sealed environmental suits. If we were to go the route of upscaling into giant mecha, all we'd need to do is add some rockets and we'd have our first spacefaring craft. I know I'm downplaying how easy this would be, but this could be a great way to leapfrog some of the progress made towards space exploration, especially if we collaborate with Zootopia on it.
I'm pretty sure the animal uplink armor isn't designed to address as many issues as a space capsule. It's a step in the right general direction, but that road has historically not been so hard to follow. "This would be a viable spacecraft if we could bolt it to a big enough rocket" is not hard to achieve. That 'if' does a lot of heavy lifting.
 
So I finally managed to finish one of the many omakes I came up with (certainly non-canon):
A Spiritual Meeting
A cosmic alignment. 600XP. Check your inbox.

500XP for fanart! Yes!

DEI Sleep habits
Amazing, we love it. 400XP and we're calling this canon.
Moving Vanessa Into Her Dorm
I like this idea... I really do... but. Vanessa is just... not in character. It doesn't sound like her, at all. Still, I appreciate the effort, and 400XP!

Prog 2000: Lions of the Wasteland
We're not making Judge Dread canon. But very, very fun. 600XP!

Yeah it's certainly not as simple as rolling the rocket-strap-inator out of the shed, but it could be a novel way to approach the tech tree that doesn't require us to play catch-up going down the same tech tree as Xanatos.
 
DEI Base Infiltration DC: 95
Already commented about this in the Discord and I'll note any differences I notice in this color of text.

Revenues
Income From Industries: 24
Misc Income: 3
Total Gross Income: 26

Costs
Operating Expenses: -5
Evil Job Benefits -3
Super-Friendly Insuricare Program: -2
Total Costs: -10

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes: 16

Current Corporate Tax Rate: 35%
Taxes= 6

Regular Income: 10
Unless this sheet is supposed to supplant the previous sheet, we should have 22 Industry income. If it is supposed to supplant the industries sheet, then 24 should be 23. 26 should either stay or be 27. Operating expenses is listed as 4 later in the document, if it is supposed to be 4 total costs should be -9. Evil job benefits is -2 in the expense section and -3 here. EBIT can either be 18, 17, or 16. Regular income should either be 10, 11, or 12.

Computers and Electronics: +1 (Marginal)
DaedalOS: (The new OS doesn't have as much of a market share as ENCOM or as much popularity as Waddle, but you're still able to make some money off of it.)
Food and Agriculture: +3 (Stable)
Famine Relief: (The massive amounts of edibles you had to move around have given you a grasp in this industry)
Dino Steaks: (They'll always be a slightly expensive dining option, but the sheer novelty ensures a steady revenue stream.)
Genetics: +2 (Established)
Mendel-Gruman: (A defense and biotechnology firm whose research you used to bring back the dinosaurs.)
Lee industries also contributes here
Insurance/Legal: +3 (Established)
Insuricare: (Gilbert Humph is a broken man)
Mass Media/Performance Arts: +2 (Established)
Walt Disney Company: (Once a great giant of animation, Disney is now mostly known for cheesy live action children's films like The Littlest Outlaw and Davy Crocket and the River Pirates.)
Danville Performing Arts Center also does stuff here
Motor Vehicles/Transportation: +1 (Marginal)
Petrochemicals/Energy: +1 (Marginal)

Lee Industries: (A vehicle firm known for popular car models, bespoke work, and the occasional foray into medical sciences. While their car industry has largely been divested, they also the source of your Dinoco subsidiary.)
Retail & Wholesale: +1 (Marginal)
Super Coffee Machines: (It's really good coffee, seriously. No one tell them it's alien tech and can brew potions though! Shhhh!)
Robotics: +3 (Stable) the industries sheet had this as +2, I am not sure if this is supposed to be an increase
Widgets/Misc: +6 (Overbearing)
DEI: (Your bread and butter, apparently, with all the weird things your lab boys can pull out of a destroyed Inator.)
ACME Corporation: (Selling comedy props and Toonish products of all kinds, ACME makes a small but noteworthy contribution to the bottom line.)
The industries weren't placed in the same order as they were in the dedicated Industries sheet, but I assume you don't care about that. Robotics

Evil Job Benefits: -2 (DEI is like one big evil family! As any parent will tell you, having children is expensive in this economy.)
Super-Friendly Insuricare: -2 (Unfortunately, instructing Insuricare to respond laxly to claims of super-destruction have resulted in a degree of lost revenue.)
Operating Expenses : -4 (The plaster for Technor's office doesn't come cheap.)
Taxes: (Current tax rate set to 35% of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes.)
Is operating expenses supposed to be -5 or -4? If it is supposed to be -4, I would guess that is where Corporate restructuring went to. Additionally, evil job benefits is -3 in the income statement and -2 here.

I've already been making a lot of edits today; could you go back and check that any of these still haven't been addressed? I think I got everything.
 
Doof was looking intently at one of his Inators. The Duplicatinator, to be exact.
Certainly an alternate explanation for why things went the way they did. 400XP!

Inator Your Way to Success
Well I hope this isn't company policy. But it is a normbottish way of thinking. 500XP!

The Spark of Tomorrow
You do like your futures, don't you? 400XP.

What's their Deal
Unfortunately this can't be canon for unspecified reasons, but well done regardless. Thank you for the omake! 500XP.

Buford is a boy of many contradictions. 400XP.

Beyond the Bonds of Time and Space
You... might want to give this another editing pass. You change tenses several times thoughout and there just generally isn't much coherent explanation as to what is happening, why, or why the audience should be invested. I do like Twilight Zone bits though! 300XP.

Ok I think I got everything. Did I miss your thing? Sorry I missed your thing. Tell me I missed your thing.

I gave it another pass and fixed the tense issues I hope.

And some of the Grammer.

Gregg Forbes is "traveling" across the Twilight Zone looking for Garth and Harrington and hopes that when he finds them they can figure out a way to get out of this strange predicament.
 
Omake Track-Inator
Hello Everyone!

I would like to thank you for your continued care and focus for Doofquest! We really appreciate the continued evidence that you enjoy and appreciate this story and want to be a part of it.

In order to ensure that we can continue to reward that care without going insane, we are now introducing an official omake tracker, which you can find below.

docs.google.com

Omake tracker


In addition to being a place you can find updated Omake logs and XP totals, you may have noticed you have commenting access on this sheet!

In future, to streamline omake roundups, please place your omake name, username, and link to the omake using the comment feature. I'll then accept the comment and maintain the tracker from there. If you don't add your omake there, we can't guarantee that it'll get awarded.
 
Mechanics have been massively updated! New mechanics as well as a lot of previously 'uncodified' mechanics should be in there. If you see anything missing, let us know.
 
side note- does anyone know to embed a google sheets doc?
For embeding google sheets docs in a post you just need to click on the top of the post editor to the 3 dots for Insert, then Media and then just put the sharing Url there (that said I think you would still need to leave a link to the sheet itself in the post for people to be able to comment there)
