We wanted to gather information for which characters within the main cast felt the most popular, more generally liked by fans and supporters. So that with v0.21 forward as the game shifts into route focused episodes for the rest of our development, we'll know how to split up the content as every release will offer at least 3 route episodes.
So naturally we'll go long periods between seeing content where Nova is seen again in her following episode for example, as we're going to slowly progress through all characters through their episode 6 (route), then proceed into episode 7 (route), etc.
Based on the results, below is our rough idea for what we can expect for the rotation of content being added in each release moving forward for the rest of development on MA! ^^
(V0.21) Will feature episodes for Nova! Heather! Along with Lola!
(V0.22) Will feature episodes for Miki! Rachel! Along with Bridget!
(V0.23) Will feature episodes for Erika! Juliet! Along with Zoey!
V0.24, V0.25, V0.26 will most likely follow in this order and forward for other future updates for the game. This should hopefully give a fair balance to each update we release for MA during the rest of development, as each update will have one of the most popular characters featured, with a less popular one to balance it and the side characters to further perfect this!
How did I put together this? Well with the results of the poll, Nova was the highest at (59) votes, while Heather was the lowest at (24) votes. (Equaling 83 total votes in popularity). Then for Miki she was 2nd highest at (46) votes, while Rachel was 2nd lowest at (25) votes. (Equaling 71 total votes in popularity). Lastly we had Erika as 3rd highest at (43) votes, while Juliet was 3rd lowest at (37) votes. (Equaling 80 total votes in popularity).
This seems like the best way to go about spreading the content among updates for the game based on popularity and it seems like each update would offer a fair balance in terms of differences in content for the characters.
While route content will mainly focus on the girl of your choice with the events and story unfolding, there will be some moments when it's fitting to show other characters still, but ideally we'll see less characters while your focus is on the main girl. (Example, Erika's route might not ever have Rachel show up.)
Anyways, I just wanted to thank everyone for voting and being a huge part in helping decide how the development process will unfold this year into 2023! ^^ Hang tight, we'll have news regarding v0.20 within the coming days to mark a confirmed date to look out for.
