v0.43 Poll!

Alright! Last time, you guys voted in some new scenes for the cupcake. I've removed the option for adding a series of new achievements since it hasn't been very popular, and I've added two new options!

The new snack is a little open-ended, and if it gets voted in, it might be pretty barebones to begin with, just because I only budget so much time with each release for the voted content. I might hold a second vote if that wins to help me decide what kind of content to add, but that's only if I can't make up my mind on my own.

Here are the details for each option:


Expanded Statuses: Playing through the game and swapping saves, I've noticed it can be a little hard to be sure of what all is going on or has been achieved in a given file at a glance. For this option, I would add more detail and variants to the descriptive summaries you see on the base screen with Lith and when using Look at Lith, and develop a richer display on the save file management screens.

Hard Mode: An idea I've had in the back of my head for a long time. This would make the game more realistic and more brutally difficult: all the options are available from the start, but if you try to do something before Lith is ready, it may damage your relationship. You'd have to guess and use your own sensibilities to proceed cautiously and try to get Lith to warm up to you.

More Flirting: A lot of the flirting content tends to be pretty cute and a little sexy, but there's still a lot of room for adding more content here. Voting for this would see a handful of new, small scenes thrown in along those lines.

New Snack: I'm not even sure yet what kind of content this would involve, but the Wooden Door opens a lot of options for new "snacks" like the cupcake and imitation soda that create unusual situations for you and Lith to experiment with. This will probably lead to some more unusual, less "vanilla" content than you usually find elsewhere in the game.

Dark Mode: Folks have occasionally asked about a way to play the game with white text against a black background, for ease of reading in the dark. I haven't had much luck getting graphic designers' help with the game, but if you vote for this, I'll try to rig up a "dark version" of the GUI that doesn't look too bad, so you can switch it on in the options menu at will.


Some of these will require more time than others, so we'll see how much I can get done in one update along with all the normal content! For now, just let me know which of these sound most interesting to you! Remember: you can vote for multiple options!
