Which ones do you mean?Where's the BONUS girls?
His $15 Patreon reward includes:"Has to", all of a sudden? Probably not.
True, many games don´t go through major changes, specially when they aren´t a one-man studio funded by patreon.And as for "inevitable": many games do not change such a major element at all. Which may also serve to not alienate Patreons who come with a certain expectation to a game which has done something for years or here not done so - to stay that way. If you have a well running Chinese restaurant you don't start serving pizza because it'd be popular with some.
This is True.Also the question will always be "can this guy even make a decent pizza" - it is something else than your old staple. Or here: will different paths even work for the dev. Doing something you're not that comfortable with for Patreons' sake can easily turn bad.
Fair enough.Generally, after this time, I'd say a game should stay on its tracks. The next one may always be entirely different.
Pretty sure that Patrons only get to choose from pre-determined options, on the polls?His $15 Patreon reward includes:
- Vote in the sex & fetish polls, offer your ideas for the game
His $120 Patreon reward includes:
- Two personalized CGs up to four characters each, or an animation loop (about 5 seconds) of up to three characters
So, yeah, he *has* to, every now and then.
This makes no sense, at all.However, given the devs words until now, I´d say that "stay on its tracks" means a different route for Lyriel in the future, and, by extension, the other girls as well.
The fact that there was not a choice, does not support your expectation of an alternative.If there was to be an alternative path, I would have expected an option to be available for us not to take up the servant path.
I wouldn't say changes in plans. The voting options will certainly be within the range of the devs plans. It won't be that the quintuplet virgin sisters of the MC are suddenly appearing chained to the wall in a dungeon and he will rape them daily while clawing their eyes out. Polls like this will be about a character being more dominant or subservient or even on equal footing with the MC, whether they prefer anal, whether they will perform footjobs.True, many games don´t go through major changes, specially when they aren´t a one-man studio funded by patreon.
This one, however? One that explicitely offers its patrons vote choices and some extra work, in the form of CGS/animation loops?
Yes, some changes in the script/plans are inevitable.
You are almost certainly correct when you say that any voting options will be added/crafted within the devs plans.I wouldn't say changes in plans.

Also you quote "sex and fetish polls" - this however would be a gameplay poll. Diverging routes (which I personally generally prefer by the way) are not universally liked, all these mods "we will show you all scenes with a character in a single playthrough no matter whether you go romance or submission" don't play to the void our house is floating in. And while it may not be on NTR levels, people can get vocal on that. I'd say it is fair to assume that those reallyreallyreally wanting zigazig-ah and divergent routes will have voted with their wallets and have left the building.
Thus finally, even if it were all open field, I would severely doubt that this would be a thing that would get the votes to be implemented.
No. It "possibly" results in that. Not "inevitably".Which results, inevitably, in a longer development cycle and plans changing, even if such changes are small.
I think that people waiting for Cait, Naomi, or Yona might have something to say about that.How long i have to wait to enjoy new Rae content, i love Rae most but recently she didn't get the attention
Because Rae is the girl we meet firstParticularly as Rae has the most content, of any.
Yeah, so maybe the others need a chance to catch up a bit? Particularly Yona & Cait. I think Naomi has more than them.Because Rae is the girl we meet firstanyway, im not a patreon so im just say so
Exactly. Submissive, a need to feel useful and needed. A need to feel protected, safe.Honestly, I interpreted those nightmares not as masochistic tendencies (a masochist likes pain), but as her subconscious mind trying to deal with her fears of being useless, unwanted, unloved. She is clearly unhappy and terrified if you treat her badly, but relieved if you show her kindness (even though she remains somewhat afraid).
At least this is how good devs (IMHO) handle voting. There are some devs who effectively say, "I have plans for all these characters. Which one(s) would you like to see content for next?"I wouldn't say changes in plans. The voting options will certainly be within the range of the devs plans.

lol I'm just feeling an Ivan Drago quote coming:Exactly. Submissive, a need to feel useful and needed. A need to feel protected, safe.
Probably. And the conflict between her subconscious (desires and fears) mind and her conscious mind (prideful and haugthy trueborn woman) is a treasure trove of potential story hooks to get immersed in.Exactly. Submissive, a need to feel useful and needed. A need to feel protected, safe.
Which is a million miles from:Probably. And the conflict between her subconscious (desires and fears) mind and her conscious mind (prideful and haugthy trueborn woman) is a treasure trove of potential story hooks to get immersed in.
I'm glad you've finally understood that she's a sub, not a thing to be broken.What I thought we would get:
sort of exacerbate her issues, breaking her pride and make her believe that she was good for nothing except a sex slave.
Am I misinterpreting something?
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
