July - Haven's Port Focus Poll (Patreon)

First, don't forget that Arianna's Kink Poll is still running! Make sure to vote there as well, if you haven't already!

With that reminder taken care of...

While I normally wait until the 1st (at least) to post focus polls, July's is a bit special. As I mentioned in the most recent progress report, I need to get a jump on it early...as all content for the the next Haven's Port Build depends on the results! Specifically, the poll this time is regarding which of the two Faction Islands I work on first. That's right, we've finally gotten far enough along for me to work on opening up the remaining two islands! While intended to be more the size, content wise, of the Port Island, they still represent a fairly large portion of the games remaining content. The poll is a straight vote-off between the two, so I'll give you a brief overview of them:

Jerta/Paradise Isle:

Loosely affiliated with the the Fleet Faction, who use the island as an R&R destination, Jerta is the breadbasket island of the chain. Home to most of the original native population, as well as several species like the Centaurs who need more room to move about, Jerta is actually almost as large as Haven's Home (the Main Island). Known to many locals simply as 'paradise,' the island is home to the spirits of Lust who empower and protect the island chain. Under their influence, the island is ridiculously bountiful...but that influence also has effects on those who live there or visit. Clothing isn't just optional on Jerta...it's very odd to see it being worn by anyone who doesn't need the protection while working. As virtually everyone on the island follows the Path of the Nymph, sex is even more casual here than elsewhere on the Haven Isles. Giving a friend a handjob during lunch? Totally normal. Group sex in the outdoors? Commonplace. Exotic options? The island is the home of a Centaur Herd, Orc Clan, and a community of Pixies! (Among other things, expect some more transformation content. Specifically for the Pixies and Centaurs)

Rose Garden/The Eastern Isle

Loosely controlled by The Order of the Rose and heavily influenced by travelers from the Far East, Rose Garden is the most architecturally unusual of the chain. Along with the divergent architecture comes a unique culture. Home to the spirits of Love that empower and protect the isles, Rose Garden is inhabited by those that follow a more...refined method of romance. From a theater that shows off all the latest plays, to fine dining, spas, and Companions who've fully embraced the Way of the Seductress, this is an island that eschews the more crude in-your-face sexuality. Instead, they embrace sensuality and romance. (Note: Expect a few more involved practices, like sensory experiences or rope play, along with another date-able character or two).
