Poll on Yuma's Corruption
🕑 Added 2023-07-19 12:34:13 +0000 UTCI have mentioned before a few times that there would be a poll in regards to a new character in V0.1.4, so here is that poll. Spoilers ahead for Ayumi, and Yuma's corruptions past this point.
Yuma's corruption will work differently compared to characters introduced so far. Rather than each update progressing her corruption, her corruption will increase at certain points in the story. Originally, I had planned to only have Yuma reach level 2 of her corruption before Yukako and Rina are fully corrupted. After Yukako and Rina are corrupted, Ayumi would be the next character to be corrupted each update, and Yuma's remaining corruption would be tied to Ayumi, and her corruption.
Let me go into a little more detail on the dynamic between Yuma and Ayumi. Those that paid attention during content talking about, and including Yuma and Ayumi may have noticed some similarities between Ayumi, and Yuma. Yuma wants recognition from the Demon Queen for her efforts, while Ayumi wants approval from her parents. Yuma's efforts are approved by the Demon Queen, but not recognized as anything special, with her skills also not seen as particularly respectable or noteworthy. Ayumi is recognized as putting in more effort than most, and good at her work, but does not have approval from her parents, the King and Queen of Hypatia.
The similarities between their situations will create a dynamic between the two that will lead them to develop a bond with each other over their similarities from when they meet, to over the course of their corruptions. This will also play a part during their corruptions. What I have planned for their corruptions will cause their corruptions to be linked a bit more than Yukako and Rina's corruptions currently are.
So, the poll is to determine if I should stick to my original plan of having Yuma reach level 2 before Yukako and Rina's corruptions are complete, or if I should wait to continue Yuma's corruption until after Ayumi's has begun.
If I stick to my original plan, Yuma's corruption will progress one more time within the next 5 updates, letting you see more content with her sooner, although it won't be as connected to Ayumi's corruption when compared to the second option. However, if I delay continuing her corruption until during Ayumi's corruption, I will be able to develop their relationship with each other more, have more interesting interactions between them as their corruptions progress, and have more unique progression events for Yuma, and to a lesser extent, Ayumi.
So, my original plan would have more of Yuma's content sooner, but at the cost of potentially more interesting content later.
Or, I can delay Yuma's corruption progressing, having less of her content sooner, but there will be more interesting content with her, Ayumi, and potentially other harem members in the future.
