Flavor Content and Post-Corruption Character Content Poll
Added 2025-03-04 17:00:14 +0000 UTCAs I mentioned in the recent development update, something several people seem to want, and have as a high priority in the survey, are greater opportunities for the girls to stand apart from each other, develop more as characters, and showcase their new corrupted personalities and roles in a more unique way.
One way to do this that has been suggested was for fully corrupted harem members to have solo tasks/events, similar to Erina's preaching during her corruption route, and Hikari holding court during her route. This is something that I intended to add into V0.3.0.
Another method that has been suggested, was to give each of the girls their own unique, story focused side quests that would further showcase their role in the harem, their skills, make them each stand out more, and of course, have further opportunities for sex scenes. This is something that, while I don't have planned for V0.3.0, I am strongly considering adding in these quests in future updates.
Now, here is what the poll is to determine: I can combine these two systems into a single system for more dynamic interactions and events with the girls.
Let me give an example. With the combined system, it would look something like this: One of the girls comes to you with a task, or you find the task during another section of the story. Each task/side quest would give focus to a specific girl, showcasing her role in the harem and corrupted personality, how she is useful to the MC, further developing her as a character, and give more opportunities for sex scenes. At the end of this quest, you would then unlock the repeatable solo content for that fully corrupted girl, which would be similar to Erina's preaching, and Hikari's hold court options. However, with the systems combined like this, these new solo events could account for decisions made in the side quest for the harem member, and other choices made, such as religion tenant choices, and other choices made in the past as well.
Now, for the impact each choice would have on development:
In the long run, combining the two systems would have overall shorter development time, in the sense that the time spent on making this flavor content each update would be somewhat shorter, since I would be combining the two into a single system, rather than focusing on two separate ones, and adjusting things for two systems instead of one. Content related to this would also be more dynamic, and able to reflect player choices more. However, it would also mean that this flavor content wouldn't be added into V0.3.0, as it would instead be added in over the course of future updates.
Keeping the two separate would lead to the solo scenes being in V0.3.0, but would of course make V0.3.0 take longer, and lead to a bit more static, and less dynamic solo interactions with the girls, even if I added the side quests separately later. If this option wins, I'll have another poll after V0.3.0 is released to see if the side quests should be added into the game or not.
So, the question is: Do you want to combine the systems, and have more dynamic flavor content come out over time in the future, or get standalone flavor content for V0.3.0, but have it be more static/less dynamic?
As usual, I will be combining the patreon and subscribestar polls for the final count.
