I would have thought getting a stable group of people, the actual story going and screen time for those that still haven't had any would be a priority.
The fact that so few people are interested in the story at all is a worrying thing. Just seems really weird to throw out content polls for stuff like that when everything is still all over the place in the game. Makes no sense at all.
I completely agree with this. The story is what makes it interesting. A bunch of college students getting pregnant? I don't see the excitement. And eventually a bunch of crying babies all at once? How is that sexy?
I am not totally opposed to pregnancy in some games if it makes sense in the story, but with over 50 romanceable characters, I don't think the distraction of a whole gaggle of pregnant young women will add to the story, at all.
BD should be focusing on the story, and more time with each beloved character. Give each one of them a more in depth personality, a compelling backstory, some sort of problem in their life to make the story interesting. That is what BD is good at, and why WVM is such a success.
Ultimately, I hate opinion polls for games. When a dev starts following opinion polls, it is a very bad sign for the quality of the game, which always goes down. The dev should stick with what they like and what made the game popular in the first place. If he really is unsure of where to take it in the future, it is better to ask a few devoted users or other devs who's opinion you trust, or just read the forums and see what people are saying, rather than hold a popularity poll. Games end up the in the bland middle if you just go with what is most popular.
