Weekly Scarlet Law (0.3.2) Progress and Poll #17 (Patreon)

What are your H-Game preferences if a new game is made? - Poll #17
I've been thinking about ideas for a new game to make for "fun", meaning on my free time and on my own terms where I don't feel necessary to pump content out every month. If this does happen, what are your preferences? Please vote for everything that applies.
Obviously, Scarlet Law will take priority. Sometimes I feel like it might be good to take my mind off of it, though. I want to remember the fun I had when I first started the project and it was just for fun. Now, SL has become a business. If I do decide to make a new game, it might take months before it'll get a new update. Like I said, it's just for fun.
When I was working on the reboot, I was really excited about trying to add mini-games, collecting items, and maybe even combat. My issue, however, is that working on this code by myself is absurdly long and requires a lot of testing (for balance, bugs, etc.).
Sometimes I try to be too ambitious and end up wasting a week trying to get the code to work. That's why sometimes, I feel like a traditional VN could be better in terms of code/content output. It's a big reason why I haven't updated some of the older mechanics in Scarlet Law (such as gifts and missions). It just feels really tedious for amount of code necessary to update and I feel like they are functions that people barely use.
The second question in the poll is whether or not you'd play a game that uses a different engine for the graphics. Are you strictly only into anime-styled games like Scarlet Law? Or are you willing to try a different engine as long as the girls are cute and the story is good.
Weekly Scarlet Law (0.3.2) Progress
In regards to progress, I've been progressing very well so far. Although it's day 7 since I started working on 0.3.2, I think I've managed to get a good amount of work done. I'm sad to say, however, that this update might be almost entirely story-based. It's still too early to decide, but there might not be any nudity in this update. It'll depend heavily on how much work I can get done for the month. I really, really don't want to force nudity, but we'll see.
So yeah, this update will be very main story-rich and will probably be the end of Altina's arc (well, in terms of her Scarlet Contract, at least). I'm hoping to finish her story this month and if so, she'll probably have a sex scene. I usually spend a lot of time trying to make these Scarlet Contract scenes look good, so I'm praying I'll be able to finish it (though, Celestia and Serena's took easily around 3 weeks to finish).
I'm in good shape right now so maybe it's achievable. We'll see how I feel later in the month, but overall, we're getting there. More on this next time.
As always, thank you all for your support. I feel like 0.2.9, 0.3.0, and 0.3.1 were all good updates. Let's keep the momentum for 0.3.2.
