Came here on a whim through another Zoner about fifteen minutes or so ago. I have not tried this game yet (and as such haven't perused the thread much yet). This post, however, caught my attention. This is all stuff that's already in this game at this stage of early development? Wow, that's a lot. I'm sure a lot of it will get filled out as development continues but that's already impressive to see. Lots of intriguing stuff there.
From what I read over quickly it seems like there are few choices at present but they seem impactful. The art, folks say, is well crafted through AI and includes animations. The writing has some hiccups but is well-paced with its various story arcs. Apparently it's engaging while keeping things suspenseful. However, given all the themes and possible routes going on (or to be implemented into the future), does anyone worry about the scope of the game getting away from the dev(s) at all?
In any regard, it seems like lots of players had good first impressions of the game. That's a good sign. The dev(s) having two completed games is also a good sign as it demonstrates that they follow through on their projects to completion. Welp, I'm going to give this game a try soon so welcome me aboard! It's nice to find cool stuff through others' recommendations in our shared hobby. Cheers y'all!

No that was after a poll was taken to see what players want added on this game and that is the order from most votes on downCame here on a whim through another Zoner about fifteen minutes or so ago.

Ah okay, gotcha. Thanks for taking the time to clarify that for me. Cheers!
No, the poll hasn’t been conducted yet — this is just a wishlist, if I understood correctly. At least I haven’t seen any official poll so far.
I understand that the game won’t have any unavoidable content.I hope that sexual involvement with another woman is avoidable.

This VN has lesbian path too?? Damn
long way to wait for straight content going ahead i guess.Who else is he supposed to listen to, if not his supporters especially after Steam gave him the middle finger? If he doesn’t, the project might as well be shut down right away where’s the money supposed to come from, in your opinion? So yes, he’s listening to us, and he’s doing the right thingyeah, looks like another one to remove from my notepad list, but we will see if dev at some point show middle finger to straight stuff. Looks like his supporters will decide in fucking polls what they want to see
Any project is created by authors with the intent to sell it. To sell something, you need to know what people want to buy. The author simply figures out what will sell better and focuses on that. You can add any number of fetishes, but some of them aren’t worth the effort or, for example, might upset supporters the people who bring in the money.
Poll:eh, I just saw it's only a wishlist...

Yes, it depends on Devs if they will listen to patrons or not. You have those Devs who make a game and ran out of ideas and patrons step in, you have those Devs who make a game and patrons just pay for that content, you have those Dev who just post polls to engage with supporters and make game without patrons interfering and you have those Devs who post polls for people to say what they want to see so if devs like something or not, they will add/not. Since I read comments on the Devs patreon, they will add what they think it goes with the story.
Overall yes they don’t commit to fulfilling every single wish. However I think they’ll still focus on the most popular requests. The team is small, and they won’t spread their efforts too thin. But these are just my thoughts.

Yeah, people suggested options that are even forbidden in the comments on Patreon. It's too bad there are barely female players commenting.

You do not know this at all, just spewing shit. Could it be he had a framework that allowed some latitude? As a supporter, I have addressed him directly stating he should stick to his plan and not get bogged down with excessive wants. He has unequivocally pushed back stating he is just soliciting opinions and will not enact every whim. So, he‘s 90% of the Devs that engage with his supporters. Oh, the horror.

It's the lesbian content that's undesirable. When will people realise that there are female players that play FMC games too and they want to see that content? When I started playing FMC games I was avoiding it, but now I'm playing lesbian routes because you can barely find decent romance with male characters since FMC is constantly treated like sex toy and lesbian scenes are usually written as wholesome. There are male protagonist games for them.
What I see from the poll results feels like it’s already aligned with the game’s original direction. That’s probably why the developer might fulfill the supporters wishesit’s just that their preferences don’t seem too far off from what was planned anyway. And maybe he simply has a good sense of what his audience wants, so running polls doesn’t really pose any risk for him.

So, the dev was wondering too? Interesting. Do you have the link to his question to read the answers? If it's not locked.
