Future Game - Poll 2!
🕑 Added 2025-12-06 04:07:04 +0000 UTCFirst off, if you haven't read the Sitrep for December post I put up almost exactly 24 hours ago, please do so :-). There was some important stuff for how the Patreon is going to work this month in it.
Second up, after being allowed to run for an entire month, the poll deciding which game to work on next (after Modded Player and wrapping up the overhauls/final release for Left Hand Magic), finished up. Much to my own very mild disappointment, since I liked the concept behind Locked Away Princess slightly more, The Submissive Streamer concept just barely edged it out. I'm not going to clutter this up rehashing what the game is about, when you can just follow the link to read the details there.
Now! We know what game will be next! Frankly, there's honestly fewer questions to be had for Submissive Streamer than there would have been for Locked Away Princess. That said, there ARE two major polls I'll be running in December and January. Along with possibly more niche polls after that as the game gets underway. I'll go ahead and outline the two major polls here first.
The First Poll (This one!) is actually to address a core aspect of the game that was assumed in the original description. Specifically, if you all want the protagonist to be entirely submissive, or instead to, well, switch her to being a switch. Note that this is a fundamental change to the game. If I move her to being a switch, the concept of a 'Reverse Trainer' game, where the player is the one being 'Trained,' takes a major blow and the game will shift to be...something else.
Likely it would shift to an exploration game model, with the same setting but the character being more 'The Kinky Streamer' who goes to different planets to have general kinky times instead of the more specific theme of a Reverse Trainer game concept. So be sure that you want to see a Switch Character more than you want to see the core concept of a 'Reverse Trainer' game, before you vote.
The reason for checking on this at all, for those looking at the screen in confusion, is so I can make sure that it was the gameplay concept that was interesting to people. Instead of, for example, people simply being more into sci-fi settings than fantasy.
The second poll is going to be more general and will essentially list out a number of the kinks/fetishes that I feel will fit into the game well. It will effectively be a final tally of interest, determining which kinks/fetishes/etc become the 'Core' direction of the game. I've done polling like that in general before, but this will be both specific to the game and far more sharply-defined, with examples given. That one won't be until January, though.
For now, let's get the major question out of the way:
Do you want to stick with the concept of a Submissive Main Character and my attempt at making a 'Reverse Trainer' game?
Or would you prefer to see a Switch character, with the same setting but a game that's a bit more general exploration. More like Haven't Port in general gameplay, though not in Engine or Setting.

Yes, more or less at least. Trying to make a Reverse Trainer game is a bit of a puzzle as it inherently puts the player into the role of the person being 'Trained.' At the same time, removing player agency is a Bad Thing. So the balance will likely be that the player needs to do something from X tier of escalation, but which thing (which kink, gender of target, that sort of thing) will be left to player agency. For a practical example, if the player was 'ordered' to escalate from flashing in public to public sex, they would then choose from several options that would fit the 'public sex' criteria. From public masturbation, to giving a stranger a blowjob under a café table, to meeting a female fan to get eaten out on a park bench. All would fit the category, so the player could choose between them, so long as it fit the escalation.

Is it fair to assume that with the reverse trainer, the player will be able to decide who the character accepts tasks from & what kind of tasks? I know part of that goes into the kink poll so might be harder to answer.
