Affection stats poll!
🕑 Added 2019-12-27 21:18:31 +0000 UTCOkay, so a little behind the scenes... I've been transferring the newly written days into the engine. While getting previous groundwork scripts and programming copied over and working again, it dawned on me about the affection stat icon. (the little red heart in the top left corner of the game's screen)
Considering the game is a VN first, with some dating sim like aspects. There's part of me that has to wonder if this stat menu screen should stay. That's why I'm here to ask you guys! ^^
Explaining this a bit better, the new "reboot" or direction of the game has new dialogue choices. These boost or minus affection with girls, they could just be changing the outcomes of a given section of the game taking place, or affecting other things like unlocking outfits, special scenes or even different endings. The choices that you all are used to in the current 0.06 update, those style of choices that feel "Oh this is clearly the good choice or this is the bad one." That is gone. These new choices should make the player really think and even kind of just go with which dialogue choice feels more likely that you would say in person, etc.
This does mean it adds some challenge to the choices, considering not all choices will be limited to only two to pick from anymore. Some people tend to enjoy a nice challenge, but I understand that without some sort of visual for affection stats... It might get a bit too hard for some.
So! The voting is if you feel that the game doesn't need the stat menu or if it should stay. (considering if the stat menu does go away, there will be a text visual guide for the completed game for you if that's your kind of thing. Along with each new update until the game is completed, there will be new guides that are open for supporters to make use for each update too! ^^)

*quick update* Still roughly 1 day remaining. <.< But just based on the reaction so far, I think it's safe to assume everyone loves the stat menu icon/screen. ^^ I'll let voting continue, but it's looking like I'll make sure this feature sticks around and better improve it! <3
