Content
The poll lists the things I would still like to do with the setting once the main story is complete. Some of them are small items that will resolve themselves in just a few scenes, others will be considerably more substantial.
Some brief information about each item:
Waterfront Investigation: At present, we've only had a taste of what was going on with the first body on the waterfront. This would be a mid sized story arc that would allow the player to learn more about what happened.
Fountain/Ruins investigation: There are hints and comments about there being ruins that predate the town on the island. Strange runes, the fountain, and a few other things. There is much more to learn about those runes and ruins. This would potentially be a fairly large story arc.
Cobb Investigation: Learning more about what happened to Cobb between your meetings with him, and his eventual fate. This would be a somewhat short story arc.
Azumi Investigation: Learn more about her origins, how she came to be the way she is. Who was her mother? Those kinds of things. This would be a mid sized story arc.
Mr Jackobson Followup: After he goes missing, and receiving slightly different stories from a couple of the residents in town, I plan to allow the player to try to discover what happened to Mr Jackobson. Where did he go? Why? And what was his eventual fate? This would be a short, maybe mid sized story arc.
Tom's Tale: In spite of him being the reason you come to Wanton Cove in the first place (Well, part of the reason anyway.)we've learned precious little so far as to the how and why of his arrival in Wanton Cove. This would likely be a longish story arc.
Pastor's Story: What really happened to the Pastor? What drove the once pure man to go down such a dark path? This would be a mid sized story arc.
Focus on Improvements: Probably the biggest thing I still have planned for the setting is a long list of improvements for the game. Everything from creating alternate text for some scenes to avoid content feeling old, to adding additional dialogue for NPCs, to a new way to earn money, extra sex scenes for existing and new NPCs, work more skill checks/madness checks/etc into existing content, and a host of other things.
How I see it, The Allure of Wanton Cove is 2/3 complete right now, even if the main story running through the game is nearly done. We've got a lot of work ahead of us still, and once the main narrative is complete, your votes will determine where my attention shifts as we begin to explore some of the mysteries of Wanton Cove.
My plan is to look at this poll in a few days to determine a winner, then I'll begin planning and storyboarding what comes next as I finish the main branch of the game.
