Day 1 & 2 adjustments poll!
🕑 Added 2020-08-04 17:27:54 +0000 UTC(open to public as it deals with content seen by both our supporters and public.)
So this isn't confirmed to be added in update 0.14, but I'm slowly going to take my time and adjust older days of the game to bring them more up to speed in terms.
Pretty much the idea is that with the quality of writing seen in the route parts, is more or less the way I'd like to improve on earlier days and generally fixing up early days for not only grammar issues if there is some, but to help make them flow a bit smoother, overall making the earlier days better in it's writing and visuals seen.
Now don't confuse this as rewriting and completely changing events, as that isn't the goal here. It's simply fixing up things, adjusting bits and parts that feel it could use a little expanding or help explain the scene better for what is taking place, etc.
This isn't something that is taking over priority or dev time for new content, but rather something I'm looking to work on slowly in some free time I have set aside during the months.
With that said, one big thing for why I'd like to tackle days 1-2 if possible in August after taking care of the main content, is that it's all about first impressions and keeping in mind most of the writing for days 1-5 was simply slightly tweaked writing done nearly one year ago already. It makes sense to touch it up and ensure people coming into trying the game get the right impression for what to expect for the writing quality, visuals and so on.
My thought is that new players are most willing to at least make it through day 1 before asking themselves if what they're playing feels worth continuing or if they will drop it completely. With maybe some willing to make it through day 2 at most before dropping or sticking with it. Of course you can't please everyone and considering the diaper themes, there is odd dialogue at times. But it feels like it's worth giving it our best to adjust the earlier days and of course through the months in free time, work our way through days 3, 4, 5-19.
(once we adjust days and begin adding them in updates, we'll make sure to use the jump buttons to let existing players jump to say day 3 and onward for when we get further into the days on adjustments. We don't want to force existing players to slug through stuff they've seen plenty of before that isn't changed or what not. )
With all of this said, our point of this poll is giving some ideas for what we might adjust or expand on a bit if it feels fitting for days 1-2. Of course we can only offer so much for poll choices, but if you feel like we're missing something to expand on or include that is fitting for those days. Please let us know in the comments. ^^
(we will also look into fitting moments for player accidents in days 1-2, if you feel there was a good spot already for one. Do let us know in the comments. ^^ )

Final update: We're getting closer to our time to adjust these days and so we'll look at what we have above for the most wanted stuff and work our way through. How we'll do this is firstly we'll tackle fixing up general stuff in day 1 (grammar, dialogue slightly to read better, some scene explaining, stuff in this nature) then we'll look at say the academy rule expanding area and begin adding onto that area, expanding on it in a fitting way. Then we might jump to Miki and Erika expanding for how they act as friends a bit better. Then check out day 2, repeat what we did above and move along to the most popular stuff for that day and see how far we can expand on things that feels most wanted to least, we'll also look at seeing if something might also be able to be split up for future days. An example might be if we can explain on Erika as a character, we might not have to do a full effort on day 1 for that and possibly be able to show some of that added to day 3 without making day 1 majorly huge.
Small update: we'll continue to watch the votes, very interesting to see what everyone wishes to see the most so far. When making adjustments to these days, once we get to expanding on set things. We'll focus on the top voted stuff and work our way down. ^^
