Is the contract suggestion thing available to non-Patrons, or is it just something copy/pasted from the Patreon and not modified to account for the general public? Is so, what's the criteria/format/rules for contract suggestions? Just whatever general half-formed idea people feel like sharing, or something specific like "suggest a target, a location, and a premise for hunting them"? Not that I really have any particular ideas for contracts at the moment myself, I'm just curious as to how one might "submit an
entry entree".
On an unrelated note, if you're interested in getting a bit more exposure, I just noticed that your game doesn't have a thread and isn't even really mentioned anywhere on the mind control games subforum of the

. Since there's pretty much no sexual content in this game that doesn't qualify as some form of mind control (even the consensual sex with Dorian is still about Mila becoming bound to his will), I think it would be very well received there. Considering that even this thread was missing the mind control tag when I found it, I think the game has been flying under the radar of one of its most fitting audiences.
With the next big update coming out (for non-Patrons) in four days, that'd probably be a perfect time to introduce the game there. I'd offer to make the thread myself, but I'm mostly just a lurker there and don't know if I could maintain the thread properly, or even really know what all the rules for it are when posting someone else's game. I could still do that if you don't want to bother with it but still want it posted there, or you can just do it yourself. Or not have it posted there at all, if you prefer that for whatever reason.
Edit: Oh yeah, one more thing to add to the general ideas/suggestions pile. I don't know if this has come up yet in the parts of the game I haven't played and/or haven't been released for free yet, but I'd be interested to see a half-breed Dhampir play a role in the game. It's hardly an original concept, and I was just thinking that perhaps we've already encountered one and don't know it yet (Faahlda? Ashe?), but there are some interesting ways they could play into this game's themes. What happens when a Dhampir bites a human? In this game, it would almost certainly still spread vampirism to the victim, but perhaps with some unique attributes. A Dhampir is generally free-willed and often fights against vampires, but how would Mila and other members of Notorna interact with them, and in what ways could this result in a "bad ending" (or at least a nonstandard game over) for Mila? Could she decide that becoming an undead slave to a vampire-hunting Dhampir would be an acceptable moral compromise between her vampire fantasies and her desire to fight for humanity? And if it's a character who has a role in the main story, what sorts of family drama could we run into? Perhaps Faahlda is a half-vampire who joined Noctorna in order to work out her daddy issues, or maybe Dorian's illegitimate child will be Mila's rival (and eventually lover) in the Vampire Route. Hmm... Now that I'm thinking along these lines, maybe I'll even offer a more specific suggestion for a contract involving one, once my initial question is answered and assuming that there won't be one appearing in the main story. (Not a good idea to make a side quest about a concept before it's introduced in the main quest.)
