Poll Results - Plans Moving Forward (Patreon)

Just a tiny update to let you know how I will be moving forward in response to the results of the latest batch of polls.

The upcoming 4.1 update will have:

- Overall girlfriend descriptions up to muscle level 50.  I will be rearranging some descriptions (the abstract ones will be pushed up in level requirement, while new ones will be written in their place).  In this process a few more interim descriptions will be written.

-  A few more "Talk to her about strength/height/etc." dialogues will be included.

- Some new Feats of Strength for the general "ask her to perform a feat of strength"

- Some new unique workouts

- A handful of new level-up messages

- The ability to ask the Girlfriend to perform some feats of strength.  Some of these are already in the "ask her to perform a feat of strength", but you'll be able to see her fail to complete the feat, or utterly dominate it, depending on her strength level.

- Increasing the "height cap"  on the girlfriend description page.

I will be keeping the game's speed the same for the time being.  If I were to recreate the game with hindsight, I would slow it down - and slowing it down is minorly the most popular option - but ~45% of respondents don't want the game slowed down, and slowing it down would be a pretty large amount of work  (everything involving strength would have to be rewritten to some degree)

More features will be added to the devil's machine over time.  I personally wouldn't mind having a "transfer" update sometime in the future that focuses on beefing up all of the transfer functions.  I'm envisioning a retooling of the Nightmare Collar (making it much cheaper, or unlocked via a quest, and having it recharged from items/events like the other amulets).  And I'd like to maybe have a way for the girlfriend to drain other people - maybe at the gym, or even shopkeepers / characters in random events.  But all of this is a ways off for the time being.

I want to add in a beauty stat ASAP; but not in the description update.  Probably adding it in 4.2.  Including the groundwork for the stat now will prevent future headaches, and I think Beauty should be a factor for some competitions/careers/events in the future.  For example, I'd like separate Weight Lifting/Strongman competition, and a Bodybuilding competitions - and beauty could help with bodybuilding.  (Theoretically beauty doesn't have a bearing in IRL bodybuilding competitions, but I think it makes sense for it to have a minor impact.  Plus this mean pure strength alone doesn't determine too many competitions)

I'll re-add the old "workout bi/chest/squats" with improvements at some point, but it's low priority.  Select a Feat might be implemented at some time, but it doesn't seem to be that huge of a deal.

We're also at a point of support where returning to a monthly Patreon might make sense.  The patreon is high enough that I should be setting aside time daily/weekly to work on the game.  If we were to do that, I would like to streamline the work process to release weekly/biweekly Patreon backer builds for $10+ pledgers.  These backer builds would be incomplete, but still functional (barring bugs)

As always, thanks for all of your support everyone, and more content coming in the near future!
