So... if I could provide a bit of input here....

Idea 1 is kinda... meh. As members of the Process, we prefer to see process actually happen, rather than see it reverted. For the most part. There are some anomalies in the "...and everything else" forum that like shrinking breasts or decreasing beauty, but the majority is going to side with promoting process than preventing it. So the whole "Escape guy trying to transform you" thing is not viable for a game idea due to psychologically being against the player's desires. It's a very common mistake to attempt to make a process game based on this.

Idea 2 is slightly more viable so long as no transformation is too overpowered (coughGiantesscough). But things are limited to a few processes. The idea of having instantaneous gender transformation would easily discourage both Steam and XBL from supporting it or at least make most non-process gamers feel awkward about it. BE is also probably a no-go unless its used in moderation, for fanservice only. Puzzle-wise, weight Gain will easily replace it. That leaves age processes, which may as well be overridden by GTS/Shrink stuff, due to them both creating the whole "Strength vs. Agility" kind of situation for puzzles, and it further overrides weight gain; since any 20-foot woman can provide the necessary force to activate a "heavyweight pressure plate" or whatever. So to recount: Only viable processes for a generic puzzle-based are Growth/Shrink, TF. Anything else will require fetishistic shenanigans and decrease Steam/XBL viability.

Building on idea 2, I'm imagining that your protagonist would be a cute witch girl that specializes in transformation and is in constant search of new powers to use to entertain her lover/ever-watching god that gave her powers (you). But it's your idea, use what works.

I'm kind of a programmer. Been meaning to get into C# for generally better p2p multiplayer support, currently working with Actionscript 3+Flashpunk. If I jump into any process project though, I'd prefer full-on hentai game and obligatory BE.
