May - Haven's Port Focus Poll
Added 2022-05-03 01:38:52 +0000 UTCAlright! So, this particular poll comes with a caveat. As I've made sure to mention repeatedly, I'm going to be doing a sort of forced reset this month, to get rid of the 5-7 day delay that's been haunting us since January. In order to achieve this, I will be making the build for Haven's Port only as large as I can while still releasing on time. Depending on how things go, this might mean a smaller than normal build. Though if there are less than a dozen new scenes I'd be genuinely shocked. And if things go well enough, we might well have a 15-16 scene build, despite the hard time limit I'm planning to stick to.
This, unfortunately, means that I can't actually guarantee that what get's voted in this poll for will make it in this month. The primary goal of this month is to finish out the Main Island by adding the dates for Fiona and Louie (and any other missing dates for the Main Island). Moreover. I also want to address an issue that a very rude person on F95 brought up. Despite their extremely aggravating and aggressive rudeness, they had a viable point. Namely, that it's apparently actually kinda hard to play a lesbian character in the opening segments of the game. That was never intended to be the case, so I'm going to be going back to the Port Island's early sections and adding a couple of scenes while adjusting the requirements for others.
All told, this means that the Primary goal for the month is probably going to eat up at least 10-12 scenes worth of content, with at least 6 of those being dates (and thus longer scenes). In the case of a sufficiently small build, this may mean that's all we get. However, I honestly expect more like 12-15 scenes as the total for the month, which will leave some room to slot in whatever type of content is voted for in this poll. Just be aware what my build priorities are! I'm wanting to mostly wrap up core content for the Main Island so that we can finally open up the other two islands to being visited come the July build of the game!
Without further rambling...here are the options.
