New Patrons; Brandon the Badass, Fudgepie the Fabulous, James the Jock! + 2 New Polls + Mini-Progress Report.

Hey everyone ^_^ 

I hope you all have been doing well! Things aren't bad over here. I just finished my full time summer classes and now have about a week and a half before more start up again, but this coming semester should be my last, so that's exciting! Other than that, I've just been spending time with family and working on the game as much as I can. 

Before I get into all that though, I wanted to introduce three new patrons; Brandon, Fudge and James :) Please give them a warm and courteous welcome and if you have the time send them a message, or a like and let them know they are a welcomed addition of our growing Apoca-Community ^_^ Like I always say too, I want to encourage you three to be as vocal as you want with concerns, questions, bug-reports, or whatever when it's convenient for you. I'm always around and will answer you as soon as I can so don't be shy! With that said, I should be sending out your personalized welcome emails right after I finish doing this and making the polls, so keep an eye out they will have your codes and the beta access :) I also really appreciate that you believe in the game too, I'm sure you guys here this all the time, but I really think all of you make the game so much more grand because of your feedback and your ideas. So keep em coming and I'll be listening.

I'll be Updating rewards today as well :)

POLLS
So moving along! There are two new polls coming out. The first will be about Live Streaming. I've personally never done something like that before and honestly I always thought that watching someone code, write and draw were two of the most boring things you could possibly do BUT after speaking with several patrons on Discord, they mentioned having some interest in it, so I guess it's worth a poll. ^_^ And be honest when you vote because if you REALLY don't want to watch me coding and writing most of the time then I won't waste my time trying to learn how to do it LOL. 

As for the second poll, it'll be about the Patreon Goals. You might ask, "Why redo them?" to which I would say, "Well, have you looked at them? They are all over the place." The reason for that was I didn't anticipate the game getting this much attention for one, but the other is priorities are different now. For example, I didn't want to wait to redo the character creator, I didn't want to wait to put sound effects and music into the game and I didn't want to wait as long to put in more pictures etc. So because of that, I think a redo is in order. And don't worry all the goals we've met won't change or be lost or anything. This poll will likely come in the next few days.

Mini-Progress Report
Alrighty! So I bet you guys are curious as to what I've been working on. Hopefully you'll be excited because I am. I've been working on the first choices for the new Masturbation Scripts and I've been working on the Rest Command which has exploded in scope and possibility. 

Masturbation
As for Masturbation, I'm trying to set it up so that it'll be a menu of evolving choices that will each raise your lust until it hits 10 and then your character will actually cum. Being horny is taken into account, race, gender and all the player's personal preferences (I hope). Here's the basic layout...

You'll start with the introductory paragraph which has five different variations, and then that'll lead into Choice 1 (which is listed below). 

Choice 1:
Stand
Kneel
Prop Yourself Up
All Fours
On Your Back
Skip Scene
Stop Masturbating

After picking your preference of how you'd like to start, it'll get more into the mindset of the character and their orientation/kinks etc. 

Choice 2:
Clit Massage/Head Massage
Rub Your Pussy Hole/Stimulate Your Shaft
Start Thinking About Someone/Start Thinking About Someone
Let Your Mind Wander
Stimulate Your Asshole
Imagine Being Dominated
Imagine Dominating Someone
Skip Scene
Stop Masturbating

^ this is an example. From here, the choices will go into a little more detail with whatever you pick, but anytime you want, you can stop a scene and switch gears. For example, if you pick Imagine Being Dominated, it'll go into a scene with you imagining being dominated, but the choice for Imagine Dominating Someone will still be present, so you can switch gears and go with that one instead. So hopefully that will allow you guys to become immersed even further into your character's and what you want their kinks and mindsets to be when they get themselves off ^_^ So far I have ALL of Choice 1 done for females and two left in Choice 1 for males. So I'll be moving onto Choice 2 by tomorrow more than likely. 

Rest Command
So I'm pretty excited about this. Originally, my plan was for the player to just type Rest and it would play out a random rest scene. BORING. Instead, I decided to go with a more in-depth approach with how your character goes about their rest and survival. When you type Rest, you'll now be presented with a list of choices.

Categories:
Build a Fire
Build a Shelter
Hunt/Trap Food

Construct a Rain Catch: ((can be made during rain only or nearby a water source)) (Fill Containers)
This allows you to construct a rain catch which will allows you to fill your containers with fresh water, if it's raining.

Supply Scavenge:
Potentially collect more Small and Large Sticks. (Resources)  
This allows you to collect Small and Large Sticks to use for the other various resources. This also causes -2 Health (for exertion). Luckily, there are other ways to obtain the materials as well, Pillaging for example, killing an enemy etc.

I’ve remastered the Small Health Potion. Its basic description has been rewritten and it’s use as well. It now has a 25% chance to cure Sickness and Poison and gives you +5 Health back. Otherwise, you just get +5 Health back.

I’ve also remastered the Large Health Potion. Its basic description has been rewritten and its use as well. It now has a 75% chance to cure Sickness, Poison and Shock, it will always increase your Maximum Health by +1 and has a 25% chance to give you +25 Health, +24 Health, +23 Health or +20 Health. There are 2 doses/uses per bottle too.  

Large Stick has also been added. And I've made it so neither the Small Stick nor the Large Stick take any volume. You can collect as much as you like ^_^


That's it for the time being! Let me know what you guys think of everything.
