THE BIG POLL ! Choose the game direction !
🕑 Added 2024-08-16 11:36:32 +0000 UTCHello there !
I've been talking about this poll for a long time, it's finally time to bring it to life ! This poll is to determine what should be my main focus in the next few updates of the game. Since they're pretty big chunk of gameplay and content, it'll be spread in mutiple updates, to still have frequent updates, so don't expect everything at once !
Also a few things about it, before going into the options : this feature will be the main focus of the updates, but there will be a few other things on the side. There are a few things I want to add soon, like a way to finish the coppereye quest without having to leave Illonia to the other characters, finish the Ursula quest around her redesign, and add fast travels. So it's probably things that will be addedd alons those updates.
Also, I want to it out loud : AN OPTION LOOSING DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GONE. Overall, I want to do all of the options I'm giving here, and it's not about voting on what I will do, but more about what I will do first. So if the option you liked the most lost, don't worry, it'll come back at some point, but it might take time.
A test body for pregnant Illonia
Alright, now that we're clear about all that, let's dive into the four options I have for you :
Pregnancy & kids :
Probably the kink that was the most requested, pregnancy is pretty niche and not a lot of games features it, at least not in a really interactive way. It's also a big kink of mine, and something I've always wanted to add. But it's also a lot of work, redoing a ton of pics to show the pregnancy, as well as making it an interesting gameplay elements. Of course, that means every girl will be able to get pregnant, and basically from anything ! Does being pregnant changes the girls beyond just their bigger belly ? What can impregnate them ? What to do with the kids ?
Plenty of questions that leave for really interesting design spaces. It will bring a ton of changes in the scenes, as well as a lot of new ones. Of course, there'll be new quest, new gameplay mechanics, and maybe new characters around this.
Time to raise your own army !
The village :
Something I planned to add a long time ago, but I ended up going in another direction first, but I still have a map done and ready. It will be the occasion to meet a ton of new characters, some with no importance, others with bigger roles, as well as bring new gameplay mechanics, such as jobs (Illonia working as a barmaid for example), meet the representative of the local religion (which is something to be discussed and voted on its own) , and much more ! Maybe you can leave Illonia wander there on her own ? Could there be someone needing your transformation powers ?
Once again, plenty of space for new gameplay design, as well as a ton of new characters ! It'll also bring some news maps, the village in itself, but also the road to reach it, and of course a lot of new scenes with new characters, and a lot of new quests !
Back to civilisation, or what looks the closest to it !
The map of the village I did a long time ago
Expand what's already here :
There's already quite a lot of characters, and the maps is getting pretty big, but aren't you tired of just the same three enemies ? Maybe you want to see more scenes with the existing characters, or just have more to do in the outposts. It could be the opportunity to add various new foes wandering around, and more scenes with the existing ones, maybe having a few new transformation spells. It'll also be the opportunity to interact more with the outpost, helping them to raise (or lower) your allegiance, and see what happens. What creatures could roam this land ? Being friend with the bandits, good idea or not ? Isn't it time to to really fuck with some of the busty beauties around you ?
While this one might open less new gameplay ideas, it's always good to improve the solid foundations. Not too many new characters or new maps, but new generic mobs and bosses, a lot of new events and scenes, and new spells !
Why discover new horizons when everything you need is right there ?
Continue the story :
While a lot of games go further in their story with each update, BoOBS isn't the same, with some updates adding only saide content, and if you're here to play in a straight line, you can finish it pretty quickly. And you want to see more ! Well, it could be time to continue what I started in 0.3, with Frida (and maybe Elleria if she got her). So time to dive in the new character arc, to help Frida, maybe get back Elleria, and potentially loose more ? This new arc will focus on goblins, and going into their nest, with everything that brings ! Will you be able to make it ? What will you find in the deeps ? What the fuck are you doing there exactly ?
It'll be the occasion to make a lot of new maps, new characters and enemies, mainly goblin-focused ! Coming with a lot of new scenes, and probably new gameplay elements too. And of course, a continuation of the main story !
Thankfully, exploring deep holes is your speciality !
Gobbo girls I designed some time ago
And that's all for the options, I hope you like them !
Also, notice that with the latest tier changes (https://subscribestar.adult/posts/1406826), this poll will be a separate post for each tiers, and I'll do the math to see who win. So if you see one option heavily winning, it might be behind on other posts, so it's not representative of the final results.
I'll leave the poll open for a month, and I'll try to post on the discord (join it if it's not already the case !) the total results weekly, so you know where things are going !
Thanks for taking the time to read all the post, and for voting for what you'd like to see ! It's been a while since I made polls like that, and I missed giving you the chance to choose what should be in the game ! We'll see the results !!! As always, stay awesome, and stay horny !

I did originally vote for all of the options, but I think I will change my vote to just pregnancy content for now. As much as I do want to see all of those options and would enjoy seeing any of them being the next batch of content implemented, getting the pregnancy system in next would be satisfying personally and possibly the healthiest option in terms of game development. Waiting longer to implement a system that could integrate into various facets of the game brings to mind other projects that have essentially entered development hell due to large swaths of existing content that have needed changes to account for some change or another that was delayed to add other content instead. Sure, sometimes the implementation can be introduced piecemeal, but this can run the risk of either existing content not making sense when compared to the content updated for the new system or change, breaking saves which can be off-putting to older players that have put in hours of work, or other potential issues that could have been avoided by simply having the system worked into the foundation before adding more content. Well, I don't want to repeat and rehash the arguments I made in the first comment, so I'll stop there. I hope that you had a great weekend and enjoyed the medieval fair when you weren't playing music. Thanks for reading and taking the time to respond.

Well, that is a pretty good argument indeed ! The sooner it'll be added in, the easier it'll be for me going forward ! And you can completly be biased, it's okay ! We're here to choose what you want the most ^^ But yeah, adding good arguments on top of that can help that option win ;)

Honestly speaking, each of these options are appealing for one reason or another such as the opportunity for shortstack fun with the Goblin Girls if the next portion of the story opens up or fleshing out the existing region and characters by focusing on what is currently present or adding a local village. However, the most important option from my perspective would be pregnancy and kids if you really have any plans to explore the subject in a notable fashion. While I'll admit there is some bias on my part as impregnation, pregnancy, breeding, and lactation are all fetishes that I enjoy, the primary reason I'm rating this option above the others is that pregnancy would likely have a far reaching impact if adventuring with a pregnant Illonia is part of the planned gameplay impacts as this would mean that future story scenes would need to account for whether or not Illonia is pregnant when creating them. Not only that, but this could also extend to erotic scenes as well where accounting for who is pregnant and is not pregnant in any particular scene could result in two or more variations. As such, the sooner such systems and renders are implemented the better. Otherwise, you'd eventually have to go back through and spend time going over every existing scene where a pregnancy system could have an impact and make the necessary changes to the code as well as create the supporting sprites and renders which would result in an evergrowing backlog of work which would both take larger amounts of time to address the longer it is put off and increase the chances for overlooked elements or bugs and unintentional mistakes. It would likely be easier to perform this work with a foundation already setup than try to work such a system in after the fact. Although it would also have the side effect of increasing the workload for any particular update, but it would honestly be worth it from my perspective if you plan to seriously explore this particular niche as there are few works that pay much attention to this fetish and even fewer of those that do that have satisfying implementations of such content. This is admittedly rather long winded, so thank you for taking the time to read this. Keep up the excellent work and I hope that you have a wonderful day.
