My decision after poll results (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone, I went ahead and closed the poll since the results were pretty much there already.
My decision may surprise some of you. I am going to add the option to change 'pet' to a word of your choosing. In fact, I already did. Looking at these results. 22% of you would prefer the option to change it. Since this option allows you to keep using the word 'pet' as I'd chosen to write in the story, it makes sense to give you the option and hopefully keep 22% more of you happier with the game.
Although I know I cannot make 'everyone happy', I see this as one of those rare opportunities where I can actually make most people happy. And it's an easy implementation.
Now, this does change things quite a bit because when episode 2 is released, it means you may need to restart your game. This shouldn't be too big a deal since there is only one episode to skip through, plus it keeps me from having to add more complicated coding. So, now is the best time for me to implement this change before we have too many episodes completed.
Thanks for participating in the poll! Wow, 235 voted! Stay tuned, I should have a preview image for patrons next week for devlog 3! :)
