Poll Time!
🕑 Added 2022-02-11 21:45:49 +0000 UTCI promised a poll the other day, but never really said what it was going to be for.
As some of you might have known I have been touching up and re-rendering everything from my Jessica TF Comic. It started with me just upscaling the renders to 4k, but then I've started going back and cleaning up some small issues, like clipping, and eye positioning. There were a few other issues that I had forgotten about but had to fix in post when I originally did the comic.
Now you might be wondering why I'm spending all this time touching up old renders just to have a 4k version of them and that kind of is where the poll comes in.
I do plan to make a 4k version of the comic and have it available as a PDF, both to my supporters and maybe to put up on Gumroad or other places. The other thing I was going to do with them, was to take the dialogue and renders from the comic and put them into a VN inside of Ren'Py, both as a stand-alone thing for supporters to play, as well as part of the larger game for my VN '7 Days of Sin'.
Both of these things are going to happen at some point, but what I wanted to do was find out what people would be more interested in seeing me focusing on first, the high res remastered comic, or the VN style Ren'py version of Jess' story.
My final decision on this will not just be based on the results of the poll, but I will take it into fair consideration when I plan out my work schedule.
My prediction is that redoing the comic in 4k will be the larger of the 2 projects as far as workload, but by how much I could not say. I plan on redoing all my layouts and lettering from scratch to keep them consistent and to have the best possible high resolution available for the final product. At least 75% of the work of making the visual novel version will also need to be done for the PDF version of the comic anyway.
*I'm going to give Patrons the weekend to get their opinion counted first before opening the voting up to everyone on Monday

The comic was always meant to be the side story to the Visual Novel. But since I have no visual novel release yet, I can see many of the people coming here not even being aware that I'm working on it, and just wanting to see the comic format continue.
Expanding Universe Games
I'm going to vote for Ren'Py, as that could also act as a working demo for the eventual game. However, overall I'd say to use the format you're planning on using the most in the near future.
