"Hello all,
Thanks for all the responses. I don't have time to reply to them all individually, but I have read them all and taken what you had to say into account. I thought about it a lot and had a discussion with some of the other team members, and I have come to a decision.
Firstly, the rejected proposals:
Only make art for popular fetishes - We already have a mechanism to vote for popular content in the polls, and while it might make the game more successful, I'm not going to start only doing art for certain fetishes. Yes, I could probably make more money, but I could also make more money if I worked half as hard on a DAZ 3d incest weg with broken English dialogue. This game has enough content for everyone, and I am not willing to sell out backers with less popular fetishes, some of who have been supporting the game a long time.
Spend less on writing - When I started making this game, I clearly underestimated the amount of work it would take. I finally feel like we are moving at a good clip on the writing side, and it would be a mistake to slow down. I want Rosaria and all its associated story lines finished this year, otherwise I'll still be doing this when I'm sixty years old.
So, what I am going to do:
Cut most scenes down to 2 CGs - This seems sensible, and it cuts the workload immediately by a third. We can always do 3 if a scene is special or really needs it, but by making that a rarity instead of the norm, we reduce the CGs needed massively.
Do some CGs in a less finished format - From now on, the plan is:
3 CGs in full colour a month, chosen by the backer poll
6 CGs in "line art" form from older scenes
By doing this, we can do 9 a month, which will at least stop us from falling behind any further, and hopefully if things improve in future, we can begin to colour them / catch up.
Finally, a lot of people seemed to take the last post negatively, and that was not how it was intended. We will continue to work on this game as we have for the past few years, there is no chance of that changing. We just need to be realistic about funding and resources, which is why I wanted to get your thoughts and opinions, but development will go forward, just as it always has.
Update regarding the CGs. I don't really agree with this decision and I think it would be better to just slow down on adding new sex scenes until the devs have caught up on adding all the missing CGs. Any thoughts?
