John Content Poll Results - Surprise and Amazement!
Added 2019-08-27 07:00:01 +0000 UTCGreetings everyone!
The results are in to determine the development order of John's content update, so without further ado...
*ahem*
And this winner is...
John's Mental Transformation route! That's right everyone, I'm just as surprised as the rest of you, but the votes don't lie. This October, I'll be... wait a minute...
*adjusts glasses*
*turns poll results rightside up*
John's Dominant Route is the winner! Haha, eh... heh... All kidding aside, I was genuinely surprised how close the votes were between Dom John and John's physical transformation route, which actually came out on top on one of the polls. Regardless, the development order has been decided, and the (tentatively dated!) release schedule is as follows:
- September 2019 - Update 6.2.0 - John's Cleanup Phase
- November 2019 - Update 6.2.1 - John's Dom Route
- January 2020 - Update 6.2.2 - John's Physical Transformation Route
- March 2020 - Update 6.2.3 - John's Mental Transformation Route
The release order is a sure thing, but content dates are tentative, potentially taking more or hopefully less time than anticipated. I'll be honest with you, at the end of October I'll be initiating a multi-phase move across the country which will no doubt impact development time. My hope is that is does not become the case, but anyone who's gone through the process of selling, buying, and moving into a home knows that it, well, is just horrible. Moreso when your destination is over 2,000 miles away!
But that's neither here nor there, because we're gonna do everything we can do get quality content out as fast as we can!
Thank you all for participating in poll. I have another similar one lined up for early next year which will once again put The Company's next destination in your capable hands. Until then, backers can look forward to the full release of Update 6.1.3 this Thursday, along with the first two official image pack mods created with the help of the community in Discord earlier this year!
Thank you all for your continued feedback and support!

I know some people aren't overly excited about 6-7 months of John updates but personally I really am. Been waiting like 1.5+ years for some John attention, I don't count the Chanel stuff because I don't really want to transform the one male character we get to play with.

2019-08-27 23:09:00 +0000 UTCThanks Westane for the clarification. I am a long time backer (one of my suggested scenes is in the game and although under my previous username). I will look forward what you have planned and continue with my various experiments with a dominant or neutral MC and a “compliant” John. :)

2019-08-27 22:41:38 +0000 UTCUpdate 6.2 (John) should be done by the next Spring. 6.3 is a much smaller update by comparison, so I would say the answer to your question is "yes". That said, I'm looking to open development order to community and backer input, so you may be spending quality time with Ava and Dakota sooner than you think!

2019-08-27 15:30:44 +0000 UTCThanks for asking :) I'm optimistic that things are looking good on that front for the foreseeable future. ...Now if I could just find time to sleep...

2019-08-27 15:28:32 +0000 UTCAwe dude good luck on the move. You should just mail all your stuff you do not want to the new address. Have fun.
2019-08-27 15:18:59 +0000 UTCWith the proposed schedule and the tentative timeline, I wonder if 6.4 still can be done within 2020 as planned before? No offense but I have many more interest of 6.4 rather than 6.2 and 6.3......
2019-08-27 15:16:51 +0000 UTCHow are you doing? Is your health good now?

2019-08-27 15:13:58 +0000 UTCI understand how you feel, and I understand that not everyone is excited for Dom John content, which is why I opened it up to a vote. As per usual, it was the backer votes that ultimately pushed Dom John to the top. That said, I want to mention a couple things. 1. The whole "Save Here" thing will likely be patched out soon. With all the backend tweaks and improvements that have been made over the last few months, I'm reasonably confident I'll have no problem introducing new story content without you having to sacrifice your save, even if you've played well past the current end point. 2. To clarify the tease at the end of this post, one of the choices for the next voting poll is going to be "Chapter 4" As for the release dates posted, I always try to overestimate here. I'd rather say the update won't be done until March then release it in February than the other way around. My hope is to get these done much quicker.

2019-08-27 13:45:48 +0000 UTCLooking at the proposed schedule for John, am I correct in assuming we will see no upgrades in story content beyond the current November 2 end until, quite possibly, next summer? I understand the need for tweaking and improving mechanics and I appreciate the expansion of characters, especially Penny (although I would like to see a further expansion of her TFM-1 story),but every update seems to offer a new road to the same dead end. I am not a huge John fan, in fact I hate the dominant character since it grinds the entire story to a standstill. I just count it as a Bad End and leave it at that, so he gets the Chanel treatment at the first sign of aggressive behavior. Improvements to his story are certainly welcome, but it s frustrating reading the same list of proposed storylines while being asked to "Save Here" all the time.
