Poll Results
Added 2023-12-12 08:04:34 +0000 UTCAlright! I've had time to sort out the poll results and figure out what to do with them, so let's dive right in!
Haven's Port's Last Hurrah:
So, the voting for this proved to be pretty spread out! I guess that's a good thing, sort of, since it means people liked a lot of the game's content ;-). On the other hand, it does leave me with a bit of a juggling act for the Last Hurrah build. Let's take a quick look at how the voting shook out first off:
------
Chastity Enabled Scenes: 20
Futa Transformation Enabled Scenes: 17
Expand the Tea Shop and Acolytes Hall: 16
Additional Dates: 15
Centaur Transformation Enabled Scenes: 14
Free Use Collar Scenes: 10
Expand the Pet Shop: 9
Fairy Transformation Enabled Scenes: 3
-------
Okay, I made it clear in the poll that I could only do so much. As a result, I'm outright discarding the lowest three. Sadly, something else I mentioned was that the Additional Dates option would be by far the most time-intensive option. Given how high it ranked, I would have tackled it...except that doing so would mean only being able to do those and the Chastity scenes. Given that Futa scenes AND the TeaShop/Hall expansion both outpointed it, and Centaur stuff came bloody close, there's just no way I can justify it. So, much as I know it will upset some people, I'm going to remove it as well. That leaves us with the following:
-------
Chastity Enabled Scenes: 20
Futa Transformation Enabled Scenes: 17
Expand the Tea Shop and Acolytes Hall: 16
Centaur Transformation Enabled Scenes: 14
-------
Now, I'm only expecting to be able to do between 15-20 scenes. Currently, I have 5 Chastity Scenes, plus another being rendered as I type this. I promised to double down on those from 4 to 8 if it placed highly (it led the poll from the start, so it was obvious it was going to do so, hence already being on scene six). So that's going to take 8 of the total scenes. The majority of which are done already. That leaves only a dozen to distribute, at best. The breakdown will go like so, if I can manage it:
-------
Chastity: 8
Futa: 5
Acolyte's Hall: 3
Tea Shop: 2
Centaur: 2
-------
Obviously, that's if I manage to make a full 20 scenes. If I don't, the lowest priorities on the list will not get done. The Tea Shop and Acolytes Hall actually already have a chastity scene each, by the by, so there's a bit of crossover. But I won't be counting the crossovers in the totals. In other words, the Chastity or Futa scenes for either location won't count against the location totals. As for prioritizing the Hall over the Tea Shop, that's simply a matter of it being easier to expand on. There are more options of what I can put into it. Anyway, that's the plan...
December's Short Story:

Truth or Dare Plus (Final): 87.5
Alyia and the Magic Shop: 55
Andrea of the Silver Key (Part 7): 43
The Starship Promise - Rimward Bound: 37.5

The Ruler's Companion: 30
-------
Well now, this vote was nearly as spread out, once the weighing was in anyway, as the Haven's Port vote :-p. The victor is pretty blatant though...and I sort of guessed it would be. Not immediately, but just by how many votes Truth or Dare Plus was getting in the first few days. So...uh...it's actually already finished? I decided to go ahead and work on it, since I could see which way the wind was blowing. It's even edited already, actually. So it will be posted sometime tonight! I think I'm actually going to do something not on the list as the second short of the month, but only if an idea I have turns out to flow decently. Sometimes, I go to write an idea and it just doesn't work. If that happens, I'll pick another poll story, but I'm unsure which one.
Mixed Media Short
-------
Xanadu Emporium: 56%
The Virtual Trap: 22%
A Bet Maid: 22 %
-------
I've legit completely given up trying to predict a winner on this one :-p. As it happens, though, I'm actually pretty pleased with Xanadu Emporium winning this time. It's less complicated than either of the others on the story side, and that will be a huge help in a busy month like this one! I also already have the addition to it mapped out for the most part, so that will allow me to get straight to work on it later today.

Well, that's all folks! The polls are wrapped up and we know what won and more or less what we'll be getting this month :-). Hopefully everyone is reasonably happy with the results ;-).
