Having finished reading 3300+ feedback responses the survey is now closed, thank all 1013 of you who responded. The information gathered + quantity of responses means we will certainly run more surveys in the future, though no immediate ETA on when the next one will be.

To start off, many comments/requests/feedbacks would be answered by summarizing the near-term plans:

0.7.11 is Psychiatrist/therapist focused, as well as a smattering of world "random events." Writing/coding is complete and it has been released to patrons on discord and will be in official patron pre-release soon, then full public release once the art is finished.

0.7.12 add the "Bodyshop" to the game, this will include SRS as well as penis enlargement and dual-genitalia for those interested. Coding/writing has been completed and it is in private testing.

0.7.13 will be voted on by patrons

The game overall is intended to be built across 5 "stages" of your work progression (with a significant in-character event marking the transition/escalation in your responsibilities):

Stage 1:
Introduction is the prologue up until you get locked into chastity

Stage 2:
Probation is from the end of stage 1 up until you become a "full" Secretary

Stage 3:
Secretary is where the game is currently, all "core" content for such is complete and the transition from stage 3->4 is ready to go (it appeared in, but lost in the most recent polls)

Stage 4:
Much of it has been written and is waiting for selection for release, it will heavily center finding out more about what is going on at the company and the MC taking action based on that knowledge

stage 5:
It has been outlined and will be written while the overall release version moves forward, it will be the "endgame" leading up to plot resolution/the story's final endings

Some content requests that came up frequently that have already been written/are just waiting to be selected for merge:

More art on all counts (outfits, characters, scenes, and replacements for removed videos) is something we are trying to do, but it remains difficult to find the resources to go "past" what is required for releases.

Prostitution beyond the gloryhole has been written (just under 40k words written, over 100 passages) and is ready to go in as soon it is chosen by patrons

home VR therapy is planned

Gym content for skills 15-20, including a "Miss Hard Pump" contest to prove your mastery of strength/stamina/dexterity, as well as a Tournament for martial arts is written - 20k words, over 80 passages

class with Ms. Watergate is planned and written stage 4 content 35k words, almost 90 passages; further note that your fellow "classmates" will be your fellow co-workers, so more fun with them

Camming/streaming content is planned, but is on the side-lines at the moment in favour of more "core" content

The long-hinted at "Fetish Club" is the current writing focus and is already over 10k words/60 passages with quite a bit more sketched out to be filled in.

Each of Alex/Bob/Kurt/AIKO will see at least one "focused" release centered on their relationship, AIKO and Alex have been partially written, Kurt has a detailed outline waiting to be fleshed out and Bob has a general plan + a couple scenes written. Once each of these is far enough along they will be added to the "the mix" as voting options for future releases.

Other common requests, with our response:

A more "forced"/brat style is a very common request, this would require substantial re-work of the early game. It's a strong possibility, but the current focus remains on moving the game forward/towards its ending, so no promises.

Similarly (but even more complicated to implement) would be an even more "willing"/trans-from-the-start progression. This, too, is something we'd like to do, but it represents a substantial refactor of many game interactions, again, no promises/ETA.

Gender-based toggles (eg: remove interactions w/men, or w/women): This would require massive changes in text, arc and art; it is not currently planned, but if there are specific scenes that feel like they should be "optional" yet are not they can be reported and we will look at/possibly refactor.

VR therapy having more wide-reaching effects on the game:

Your ex: the ex has an additional part to play, and there are several more scenes involving her already written and awaiting the proper future release. Note that her intended role has always been as something of a subversion of certain genre clichés, so while she will re-appear, she is not planned to take on the level of importance of the "primary" characters (Alex/Bob/Trapper/Antlers/Kurt/AIKO)

ABDL: This is not currently on our plan/roadmap.

Getting a roommate: This represents some enormous game complexities in terms of code and structure, and is not planned outside of an epilogue (the exception being that getting a pet dog or cat is planned and will happen sometime in the future). Similarly, moving in with someone else would be epilogue only.
