Hello there guys,
I've been in Bangkok for about two full days already... and I can't actually believe it's been just two days. :-P
This is not the kind of place I thought it would be, honestly. Or maybe it is and it's just me not adapting in a so small amount of time.
Anyway, I still have 12 days here and another 15 in Vietnam, so many things could happen. Who knows...
So, I've seen the results for the poll and I'd like to comment on them before I go to bed (yes, it's almost midnight over here).
First, the most obvious conclusion: balancing. It seems the vast majority of you think a moderate number of scene iterations is fine. That's the typical formula with many other games, so I expected it. Any game need some degree of grinding so the content doesn't run out in a flash, right?
Second most obvious result: progress. About a 78% of you think three months is an okay time-frame to publish updates at the current content amount...
That's where my surprise comes from, actually. I'm not quite satisfied with the amount of scenes introduced in 0.5, which were going to be more. Main reason because I needed to announce a 0.5.1 version, in fact. It's also true that I was delayed by some circumstances, including redesigning some mechanics like the clothes system and the day/night cycle, so I just had a net month to work on the actual content.
So, all in all, I think we should aim for a bi-monthly update schedule. I think it should be achievable by not focusing too much on new mechanics and getting advantage of those already introduced. And the day/night cycle sure makes room for interesting events...
Then again seeing that most of you people, three out of four, are SO patient warms my heart with gratefulness. :'-)
And finally, the more complex result of them all: escalation...
Well, I won't say I didn't expect that. If I was asked the same question I'd probably go for it as well. What I didn't expect was making anal/3somes a priority winning the poll. But let's analyze the percentages more closely...
1. "Go for gangbangs ASAP" = 13%
2. "Go for anal/3somes ASAP" = 43.75%
3. "Go for anal/3somes at your own pace" = 11.5%
4. "Go at your own pace (period)" = 31.75%
People wanting to escalate sex ASAP (a LOT or just anal/3some) are 56.75%, while the people letting me going at a slower pace are 43.25%, although a fourth of them also ask for some escalation as a secondary short/mid term objective.
Then, both the extremes of the spectrum ("crazy sex naw!" and "do as you must") are very different and the first one is clearly overtaken by the rest of the options, so if we just focus on the middle ones ("do anal/3somes now/later") and sum them, we have a 55.25%. Again over 50% of voters.
So, I feel compelled to give you guys anal/3somes in a reasonable amount of time. That would be two versions from now, instead of the five I had in mind before.
Understand that I'm talking about a whole lust level for those two events, and K's attitude will be reluctant about them. That means no anal rape from some creepy purple-eyed guy and no MMF threesome with random guys.
I'm sure that if you've been paying attention to how she's progressing in her "learning" you'll know who will be the lucky guy who will take her anal (lizard-folk-cock-sized) virginity and who will be the lucky gal to taste her pussy while another guy drills her...
Damn... I'm having a hard on just from thinking about it! ^_^
Okay, so these are my conclusions from our poll. I hope the majority of you share my views and plans.
Farewell from near Sin City. ;-)
