March Poll Results
🕑 Added 2025-03-12 19:14:18 +0000 UTCAlright everyone, polls are closed and results are all tabulated! Let's dive right into them.
Left Hand Magic - Focus Poll
-----------
Add the extra scenes for some variety! - 50%
Get Started On the Harem Route this month! -27%
I don't care, do what you want! - 23%
-----------
The results here were pretty clear! A solid half of everyone wanted the extra scenes, so that's what I'm going with. I'm hoping to get 6-7 extra scenes in, which would give the build a solid amount of new content to go with all of the reworked animations. I don't actually know how close to that ideal I'll get, but it's what I'm shooting for at least.
Currently, the rough plan is to focus four of the 'extra' scenes on pairs that we don't see interact normally. The first one, for example, is a Trix Route scene in which Arianna get's involved. There will also hopefully also be a Talia x Trix, Talia x Revina, and Arianna x Revina scenes.
The remaining 2-3 scenes will be focused on another thing that needs doing. Specifically, fleshing out the 'friends-with-benefits' route for Arianna, which will provide alternative options to a few of her late-game scenes. Currently, I have an alternative to the Drone scene where you attend simply as a regular club goer instead of a drone planned. Then another two where you end up doing things with Yen1 or Veronica instead of joining Arianna in her more bi-sexual/polyamorous adventures.
Short Story Poll

Surprise Me! Focus: Deck of Many Erotic Things! - 60
The Dungeon Town(Armor Shop 3) - 42.5
An App for That - 40
Contract Doll - 35
Andrea of the Silver Key (Part 8) - 33
The Starship Promise - Rimworld - 15
Ayala and the Magic Shop (Auntie's Lessons) - 12.5
-----------
So this one was...odd. In theory, there are around 100 possible voters for this poll. The most of any of them by far. Only 23 people actually voted, though. Not quite sure what to make of that. Is there just not a lot of interest in the short stories any longer? At one point they were a pretty popular reward, but they've been around for years now and I did cut down to just one a month a while back. Well, we'll see if that trend continues before I leap to any conclusions.
Regardless, for the first time one of the 'Surprise Me!' options that I introduced a few months back actually won! It should be an entertaining one, if possibly a bit of a wild ride since I promised to genuinely randomize the results of the Deck of Many Erotic Things. I know someone has actual rules for one floating around I'll need to track down, then possibly add or subtract a few options from it since the original is meant for an active tabletop environment. Once I do that, I'll create a party of poor saps to play it and see what happens to them...
Mixed Media Poll
-----------
Cara Loft: The Seal of Kukaco (Part 8) - 86%
The Virtual Trap (Part 12) - 14%
-----------
I was feeling some serious creative burnout when I put this poll up, so I made it a simple popularity vote between the two most common winners. Obviously, Cara Loft won handily. Not unexpected, really, as they tend to trade off regularly and Virtual Trap won last month. I'm planning to start on the renders for this tonight, which is a bit later in the month than I'd like. Hopefully it shouldn't be too much of an issue, though, given that this is a nice 31 day month.
==============
That's all for now, folks! I'll try and have a progress report up in a reasonable time frame this time ;-).

Sure, but a lot of people aren't big on reading as a form of entertainment anymore either :-p. It could be that the specific people following me at this point aren't big readers...at least without the graphics of the Visual in Visual Novel to go with the text.

I am sure it is NOT because people are not interested. Everything has gotten so complicated, that it is about having time for everything in the modern world. Hell... I am retired and I do not have time for nearly everything I want to do π. Of course it would probably help if I did not volunteer my help to fix other dev's games all the time π.
