I was more so responding to the other person's idea than implying you'd do it. But you saying this is reassuring anyway.

Why not include the bad end what ifs as bonus scenes instead? At least, if there is a lot of demand for them.
I'd probably do both, depending on the context of the scene. If people don't want bad ends in the main game they might still show up as bonus scenes once in a while.
Yeah, that was more my assumption for bad ends. Like the scene would split but not definitively end the storyline. Like using the preg example since that is what started the conversation, it would be something like
-scene happens
-did duvessa get pregnant? (player gets to make choice)
-if yes: bad end/what if scenario
-if no: path continues as normally planned.
It's definitely good to hear confirmation that it would work like that though.

That's how I believed it would be implemented as well. The problem is writing the scene and comissioning art and animation which takes a lot of time and money. There's so many different kinks that people have and would want to be included if bad ends were to be available. It would really derail the development of the main story.
I'd make sure that it wouldn't. Would just be a thing I did once in a while.
To be clear, I have faith that you would do a capable job at implementing them , and do so concurrently with the story without it hampering your work schedule. To me, Jezebel is a mature visual novel in which the sexual themes are there to supplement the story and not the other way around. It's a character driven political thriller, not a hardcore porn game. It just doesn't fit the genre; There's plenty of other games you could download on this site that are a better fit for this type of material. I believe that the time and money making these irrelevant sex scenes would be better spent expanding on the world you are trying to build. Additionally, while one bad ending might be appealing, in its wake would be three others you don't care about. Only a select minority of people would enjoy these sections of the game at a time. I'm just trying to explain my perspective more clearly and convince the patrons not to vote for the bad endings to be in the main game.
That doesn't mean that there wouldn't be bad ends. Instead, they can be used in one of the set amount of bonus scenes if there’s a lot of interest for a certain scenario. That way, people can enjoy the content without it taking extra resources to create. It could even promote people into buying the Patreon subscription, which would benefit the growth of the main game and allow for the funding for even more bad end scenes to be created. And for those without the patreon, maybe when the full game releases there could be an expansion or ultimate edition that includes all of these bonus scenes?
