Hello all,
Before we get into this, remember that Patrons get to vote in both the
Public Poll as well as the
Patron Poll. You can find the polls in
Discord! The two polls will be tallied together to determine a winner, meaning that Patrons effectively have twice the voting power!
We're getting pretty close to release. Just need to finish up a couple more scenes! In the meantime, I wanted to take some time to figure out what to do with Taskmaster's content. Historically, I've never really received a lot of feedback about these scenes so I actually don't know their popularity. That being said, we have an opportunity to reframe his scenes because both the rooftop lactation and humiliation walk scenes use placeholder art and are next in line to be remastered.
Before I get to the choices, I figured I'd explain my original plans for Taskmaster for those unaware. He is a multi-act villain who is looking to challenge Silk's morals; seeing just what she's capable of sacrificing in the pursuit of good. Each act will have one unique scene, where his story will culminate in Act 5. Understand that while the Act 3 scene is on the horizon, it might be a couple of years before his story is actually finished.
So, what do I like about these scenes? They are a way to get Silk to degrade
herself. While she is acting in response to Taskmaster, her actions are fully her own. She really could quit at any time.
On to what we're looking at changing. I don't think his current scenes are bad, per say, but they do lack a core theme beyond humiliation. So, I will propose a few options for when we go to remaster these scenes.
Option 1 - Keep the scenes narratively the same; just give them an art refresh. The Act 3, 4, and 5 scenes won't really share a unifying theme beyond degrading Silk in various ways. This would provide a wide variety of scenes.
Option 2 - Pivot the storyline to focus exclusively on public humiliation. Instead of a lactating scene, Act 1 might have Silk sitting on a Sybian (or some other sex toy) either in front of or just out of view of a crowd. Act 2's scene would be very similar to what it is now.
Option 3 - Focus more on lactation and bodily fluids. Act 2's scene might have Silk doing something like drinking a large amount of semen or something while getting milked, for example. Act 1's scene would be very similar to what it is now.
Option 4 - A new direction that would focus on predicament bondage. Taskmaster would have Silk put herself into various devices, situations, and the like that tease, tickle, and fuck her senseless. Both Act 1 and Act 2 would change.
