8. Would you like to see more scenes with the girls being embarrassed in front of male strangers on campus (e.g. boys, locals from town, construction workers, visitors, parents etc)?
Before anyone gets upset, this question is not about NTR or sharing which WILL NOT be in the game. This question relates only to other males witnessing punishments and nudity just as Mr Cummings did in version 0.6, for example.
a) I'm happy to see the girls publicly humiliated more often in front of other males. (84 votes - 22%)
b) I'm fine with that occasionally if the story demands. (255 votes - 66%)
c) I don't want other men on campus for any reason (even knowing they won’t touch the girls). (47 votes - 12%)
So I confess that this question was the main thing I wanted to ask you guys about because it has been a point of controversy on the Discord.
A few times in the past I've discussed plans to have boys from the nearby boys’ school witness some of the girls’ public punishments as a way to increase the girls’ embarrassment. I felt that this was a logical escalation of the public punishments and a way to keep the girls feeling embarrassed even when they start getting used to being naked in front of each other and the headmaster.
Whilst many liked the idea, some people reacted very strongly against it. Honestly, I was quite taken aback by the visceral response to the mention of males on campus. However, it was impossible for me to tell if this represented a vocal minority of people or if this was how the majority felt. Hence the need to ask in a poll.
If the majority of you were really dead against other men witnessing punishments/nudity I was going to need to rethink parts of some upcoming storylines. In particular, Liz's exhibitionist storyline and also the storyline for Cassandra, with her showing some of the school's owners around being the hostess for a formal dinner party. I was also thinking about having some construction workers working in the sports centre to finish construction of the swimming pool. All of which may have had to change.
Clearly the majority of people are fine with at least the occasional use of male witnesses as a way to embarrass the girls. However, it's not something that I should overuse. That is pretty much how I feel about it myself and I can be a bit more confident now about some of the storylines I'm writing.
Rest assured that I'm not planning to flood the game with male characters. The software I use only has about 5 usable hairstyles for the males (compared to hundreds for the girls). So if we do ever see any boys from the boys’ school it would probably be in a blurred out background as in the concept image above.
