Progress Report + Poll Results
🕑 Added 2024-09-14 03:04:11 +0000 UTCWell, I feel a little sheepish. Here I was, waiting for the poll results to finish, not realizing that I'd failed to set end dates for two of them -_-. I'd thought I'd just given them longer than usual, knowing that I didn't need to start on them until the 12th, really. When the 13th came along and they still hadn't ended, though, I realized I'd screwed up. So, errr...sorry about that! Still, mostly what I have to report is good news anyway, since I've been chewing away at Left Hand Magic's build while waiting.
On that note, Left Hand Magic is really the only thing I've been working on, so I'll make the Progress Report part of this post quick. Day Three of the Arianna/Talia (Week 6) route is already rendered completely, and the final frames of the the final animation for Day Four are rendering even as I type this up. Day Four took longer than expected, but the reason for that is simply that it was more involved than usual. It's another visit to the HIVE VR facility, and is a fairly beefy day/encounter as a result. As such, I'm quite please with it despite it having taken roughly a day and half longer than my original estimate for it.
Honestly, given that single-girl routes are always faster to work on than the threesome routes, I'm expecting to make up the time fairly easily once I switch over to the poll winner. Though I still have Day 5 to do for the threesome route first. I should be able to get at least the first few stills for Day 5 done tonight.
Now, moving onto the poll results!
September's Focus Poll
This honestly had a pretty predictable result. While there are plenty of people that like Revina, she's never been the most popular route. Likely, it has to be said, because of the original poll waaaaaaaaaaay back near the start of the game that had her not gain an additional kink. Instead, she's just doubled down on the Bondage content, which I think has limited her a bit. Still, the point of the matter is that I'm not particularly shocked that Trix's Route won the poll 68% to 32%. As such Trix's Route will be what I work on after I finish up the Arianna/Talia/MC route for Week 6.
September's Story Poll
This one is why this is so late in the day -_-. You lot made me actually break out a calculator instead of mentally doing the math with the sheer number of fractional votes there were this time. Anyway...
--------------
Andrea of the Silver Key: 72.67
The Dungeon Down(Armor Shop): 54.83
Contract Doll (Part 3): 45
An App for That: 42.33
Alyia and the Maigc Shop: 30.67
The Starship Promise: 20.13
Lyriel's Adventures: 11
--------------
I've long since given up trying to predict the winner here. Which is a good thing, since I certainly wasn't expecting Andrea of the Silver Key to clinch a victory after a long period of middling support! Not quite as crazy as the couple of months where Starship Promise zipped in out of nowhere to scoop victory, but still not something I could have predicted! Well, with some Advil awaiting me from the math involved in this, I'll leave it at this. Andrea of the Silver Key will get its first update in a while this month!
Mixed Media Short Poll
--------------
Cara Loft: The Seal of Kukaco (Part 5): 50%
The Virtual Trap (Part 10): 33%
A Villainous Entanglement: 17%
--------------
Honestly, this one was only half a surprise, really? Cara Loft and The Virtual Trap seem to like trading off winners, and both always have a decent showing. Likely not too shocking as they have similar kink types, but radically different settings. This time, it was Cara Loft: The Seal of Kukaco that took the win. I'll get started on renders for it tonight, hopefully!
