V0.3.0 Animations Poll
🕑 Added 2025-01-24 22:59:14 +0000 UTCSince I'll be focusing a lot on past content during V0.3.0's development, I'm willing to take extra time to add in more animations than usual for this update since this is a good time in a development sense to do so, if that is what people want.
As time has gone on, more people have asked about animations, and mentioned wanting more animated scenes in the game, so this poll will also help determine how desired animations in the game are among supporters when compared to other content.
Normally, I only add in about 2-3 animations each update, as that is the amount a past poll decided should be the standard each update. However, as I mentioned, V0.3.0's development is a good time to increase the amount I add in for this update. Though, I will mention that after V0.3.0's development, I will return to the standard 2-3 animations per update regardless of this poll's outcome.
So, the standard 2-3 animations takes about 2-3 days to do. This time includes the process of making the animations, and putting them in game.
One option, is to put in all of Yukako and Rina's post-corruption repeatable content, as well as Yukako, Rina, and Misaki's bedrom scenes. Doing this would likely add around 5-7 days to development time.
Another option, is to add in animations for everything up to the end of Ayumi's corruption, including her repeatable post-corruption content. Doing this will likely add close to 2 weeks of development time.
Finally, there is the option to animate all scenes in the game, including the new scenes added in V0.3.0. This will take the longest, potentially increasing total development time by 3-4 weeks. This is certainly the outcome with the longest development time, but in addition to animating all scenes in the game, it will also mean that all future updates will include animations for the same scenes added in that update.
For the last option, I will mention that if I don't do an update that animates everything now, or during another V0.X.0 type of update, I will end up making an update that focuses entirely on adding animations into the game after all of the other content is released (i.e. all routes and other post-game content are completed and released.). Since The standard 2-3 animations per update doesn't always match up with the amount of non-animated sex scenes, any future update where I focus on adding in animations for the remainder of non-animated scenes will only take longer each time such an update is possible. This means, that while animating everything during V0.3.0's development would only take 3-4 weeks, depending on the outcome of this poll, a post-game update animating all scenes in the game could take as low as 5 weeks, or as much as 8 weeks since there will be much more scenes to animate compared to how many there are now. You can consider this last option as also being a question of, "do you want a V0.X.0 update with a longer development time now, or later?"
Development times are likely to fluctuate, depending on how much time I have to work on the game. On a potential post-game update focusing on animations, the expected time could be less than half of what I mentioned above if I gain enough support to work on this game full-time by then. If I was working full time on the game by then (which is likely if I continue to experience the same amount of growth in patrons and subscribers), a post-game update focusing on only adding in animations is more likely to take 10-25 days, depending on other factors. The times I mentioned for each option and a potential post-game update are only estimated based on my current expected time I have to work on the game.
If no option reaches 50% of the vote or higher, a second poll on this will be released with only the top two voted options. Poll numbers between patreon and subscribestar will be added together for the final total.

Getting the largest animation time added now is better than smaller batches later.

I say take the time now and use the 0.x.0 updates to do "house cleaning" task list this.
