Poll Results + Haven's Port + Other Stuff
🕑 Added 2020-11-06 14:05:39 +0000 UTCFirst and foremost! There is still a poll ongoing for ALL Patrons, regarding the structure of the development cycle for both games. While so far the results have been pretty one-sided, I want to hear from as many patrons as possible! Please take time to vote if you haven't yet!
With that important reminder out of the way...the two usual monthly polls ended at midnight on the first. Part of the reason I hadn't posted the results yet was the Chastity Quest release. However, there was an additional reason, that being that story poll ended in a tie and I was considering what I wanted to do about that. The specific result was that The Mass Effect story and Transformation Estate tied for votes, with Galactic Nomad just one vote behind them. Since this is the first month that I'm doing two shorts, I considered just making those the two shorts...but the truth is that I already had a story planned out that I wanted to do as the first of the extra story rewards (for hitting the $500 goal last month). To be honest...I'm still waffling a bit. I may still do both stories, depending on how my attempt at the new one goes. However, the story I WILL be doing no matter what is Mass Effect: The Final Error.
The reason for the Mass Effect story getting the definite green light over Transformation Estate is actually pretty simple. Namely, that I didn't vote for it myself. I don't give myself any special priority, but I do vote in the polls, and one of my votes was for Transformation Estate. Meaning that, if I remove my own bias and leave it entirely up to you guys...Mass Effect:The Final Error comes out as the winner. Since it's ultimately a reward for all of you...that's what I did. That story is the primary focus for updating this month, with the second story still up in the air a bit.
Thankfully, the other poll wasn't anything remotely close to a tie. For those who aren't $5+ patrons...the Haven's Port focus poll choices this time were between more Transformation Content, Town Events, and adding the Pirate Job. The Transformation Content won handily, taking 58% of the vote for an outright majority. Which, of course, is why the image for this post is a Futa MC with Violet :-). I need to do a little post-processing on the render still (the lighting didn't come out quite how I'd hoped), but it and the others for its scene are essentially done, being the first of the new batch of scenes I tackled.
Essentially, the Transformation Content winning means that November's Build will focus on being able to take two of the Magic Shop Transformations out into the rest of the town. While not everywhere will/can have unique content for each transformation, the plan is for many/most places to have at least one alternate scene for each major transformation. The two transformations I'll be focusing on for this month are the Futa Transformation and the Fairy Transformation. Current projections have me making 6 Futa Scenes, 4 Fairy Scenes, and 2 unrelated 'town event' scenes. Assuming that I manage to make that many, of course. Numbers are always subject to change depending on what breaks...
------
Having covered the polls and Haven's Port...the 'Other' stuff still needs to be addressed. Essentially, it's just a heads-up that I'll be adding some stuff to the Patreon page over the next week or so (hopefully). I've been working on coming up with a new reward tier to replace the currently terrible $20 tier, and I need to make some general updates and improvements to various bits and pieces of the Patreon. It should pretty much all be Additive at this time, rather than me changing any existing reward tiers around.
