Development Update and Poll Winners Announcement
Hey guys,
In the last development update, I discussed a poll to decide which side stories to be included in the next version (alongside Priti’s storyline). Since I’m sure everyone is wondering who won I’m going to announce the results in a development update as well. For those that couldn't vote but want to see more details of the voting options (along with some preview pictures), I've included these as a PDF attachment at the bottom. People were asked to pick three options, with the top three choices to be included in the next update.
In
first place (with 55% of people picking this as one of their top 3) was
access to the girl's locker room. I was a little surprised but also very pleased this did so well in the vote. I think in terms of overall game pacing it's right to have access to the locker rooms before some of the other storylines listed (i.e. the nude beach / advanced sex-ed lessons). So, I think we've collectively come to the right decision. Plus, out of all the storylines listed, this is the one that I've written the most of so far. So along with a few scenes to set up access to the locker rooms, I’ll also need to create a new area and have at least a few random interactions with girls there.
In
second place (with 49.5% of people choosing this option) we have
Dildo practise and sex with Rachel. No surprises here (other than this not coming in first place) Rachel has always been very popular. So far in the game, we've only had sex with one student, Amy, and it's about time we added a second girl to that list. I think people are really going to enjoy what I have planned for our cute little pet.
In
third place, just behind Rachel, (with 49% of people choosing this option) we have
BDSM lessons, with Debbie and Claire learning the art of discipline using Amy as a training dummy. This will be an important storyline, for a number of reasons, so I am glad people are keen to see it.
There were some other notable mentions. The advanced sex-ed lessons and the nudist beach came in fourth and fifth respectively (with 32% and 29% of people choosing these options). They are therefore clear front runners for inclusion in version 0.13 along with Faye's storyline.
There was a reasonable amount of demand for adding extra patrol events with this choice coming in sixth. Perhaps I'll find time for an extra patrol scene or two, however, I won't be dedicating a significant amount of time to this in version 0.12.
A threesome with Sally and Izzy, plus Miss Chang's D&D adventure came in seventh and eighth both with a respectable share of the votes. So there's a good chance that either of these two stories might also end up in version 0.13.
There was some demand for addressing continuity errors, with this coming in ninth. I agree that these are important things to address but clearly the majority are happy for me to focus on progressing the story for the time being. These little things will all get fixed eventually anyway as each character/storyline gets new content.
A few of the storylines listed didn't do so well but to be fair, they never really stood a chance against some of the highly sought after things on the list. Don't worry if your favourite didn't do well. Every storyline listed will be in the game eventually.
Some people pointed out that I had left the
arrival of new girl Zoe off the final poll list. I don't think I can actually delay her arrival any longer so I'm going to put her in the next version anyway. Likewise with the
group medicals. We won't have a huge amount for either of these two storylines but I need to make at least some progress with them next update.
So the
list of content for version 0.12 (in priority order) looks like this:
- Priti's storyline and Punishment system
- Unlimited access to the girl's locker room
- Sex with Rachel
- BDSM class after school
- Arrival of new girl, Zoe
- New group medical scene
I'll probably add a few little surprises for people too. So there is a lot of really great stuff to come but also a lot of work for me to be getting on with. Fortunately, I'm already making good progress writing Priti's storyline and I'm hoping that my new animation method should shave some time off making her punishment system. Even so, I'm going to need several months to put together everything on this list. As they say though, good things come to those that wait and there will certainly be a lot of good things to come in the next update.
