Another poll: Kinks & Boundaries chat
Added 2025-06-14 17:00:10 +0000 UTCHello everyone, and welcome to yet another poll!
As stated before, Chapter 45 will revolve around the player's kinks & boundaries. You'll get asked about what you'd enjoy Laura doing.
I'm torn between two options on this though: should this talk happen only between Laura and you, or on the Madhouse?
On one hand, having it between Laura and you make it more personal. This is a talk about your boundaries with each other, and it makes the talk more serious.
On the other hand, having it on the Madhouse allows me to make it more fun and chaotic, with input from Ashley and reactions from Tara. That being said, it removes focus from your couple, putting the focus more on the other girls (especially Ashley). But I know some of you are getting a bit tired of too much things happening on the Madhouse.
So, I'm giving you 24 hours to decide. Will it be a 1 on 1 talk, or a foursome? =D

I'm a big fan of the madhouse. I'd like both possibly but I trust the creator, you haven't let me down yet.

2025-06-17 22:16:01 +0000 UTCThat could also be a one on one conversation between Tara and the MC, since this whole time has been building up that trust between Tara and the MC and potentially teaming up with Ashley to enact a plan to help Tara experience those kinks.

2025-06-15 22:28:06 +0000 UTCThe idea of extending this conversation to the Madhouse creates the (overdue?) opportunity to move Tara along in the acceptance of her own kinks. Watching the other character(s) increasingly embrace their own desires gives a plausible way to more easily move the plot forward on her own baby steps into debauchery--which I feel comfortable in saying that we're all dying to see.

2025-06-15 15:24:28 +0000 UTCI'm letting people decide because I'm not 100% sure myself what would be better. I often have a clear idea of what I want, but sometimes I hesitate, and getting players' input is very valuable in these cases.

2025-06-15 15:24:21 +0000 UTCAs much as i think polls can be good i think its valuable to not always let the fans have an input too. if you cater too much to trying to please too many people it could lead to a jumbled or bloated story, they can be good for helping you decide but ultimately this is your game and the best way to keep the quality up is staying true to your vision! Keep up the good work dude this wasnt meant as a jab just some advice

2025-06-15 11:42:29 +0000 UTCI think a 1-on-1 conversation could work too. Laura could write to mc while sitting in another women-only spring for example and ask him, “if he thaught about what they were talking about earlier”. Which is kinks and boundaries. This could open up the conversation and would be reasonably credible i think. It all depends on how Stag will tell the story.

2025-06-14 20:56:48 +0000 UTCThat would be an incredibly awesome compromise to the two options and give space for both serious talk and funny reactions. I hope you listen to Tom's advice Le Stag.

2025-06-14 20:51:49 +0000 UTCHow about you hash out the most important things 1 on 1, just Laura and the MC. Then with the new-found boundaries you can involve the madhouse for insights and reactions. Like I'd imagine Ashley is gonna be SO curious and will have plenty to say for each kink.

2025-06-14 19:25:04 +0000 UTCMadhouse is more fun. Games are supposed to be fun, so Madhouse it is for me. And these discussions should be made face to face, texting doesn't make sense in the first place, so they either should have these discussions face to face (outside texting) or, because they want others' feedback maybe, Madhouse. Always make sure texting makes sense in given situation. I hate polls. They never go the way I would want. :D Give masses a chance to vote and they will disappoint again. :)

2025-06-14 19:16:01 +0000 UTCOne on one; Laura is put on the spot, MC makes choices that cause her to commit. This can be a hybrid path, breaking the narrow neto trope into one of reality and consequences. "Too far" based on specific choices they make should have decidedly negative impacts, even if it causes one to break it apart and pursue another path... you have a choice to make it one-sided or equal and the paths, should they split COULD converge again for an ending... or not. A writers dream, the ability to wreck the emotions of the player (us) if she cheats or to stay within the lines pushing right up to the edges which allows for a ton of possibilities and humor with a positive ending (and good vibes going forward). Man, I'd go nuts with the possiblities, especially the 2nd one I alluded to! There have to be specifics in the discussion and paths that follow it. Then follow it up within the Madhouse Seriously, good luck :D This could turn into a mini-series of seasons/chapters with growing support from outside the relatively narrow genre LOL

2025-06-14 18:04:17 +0000 UTCHonestly this is a pretty big conversation/milestone between the MC and Laura, it should absolutely only be between those two.
