Course of Temptation Monthly Update Focus Poll

As described in the last dev diary, it's time to decide what things will be prioritized in monthly updates for the next little bit. I'll repost the options, plus a couple more I thought of or came up in discussion in the comments.

• Anonymous streaming: A common request, and one we can approach now that masks exist. I may also attempt to scope in V-tubing, but that almost requires its own event set, so we'll see what I have time for.

• Extending encounters with NPC preferences: Currently, NPCs often know what they want to do to you but rarely have an opinion about what you do to them. This should change sooner or later, and they should be able to decide how much they enjoyed an encounter, affecting attitude shifts.

• Secret dates/relationships: Mostly intended to allow you to date faculty, which is technically against university policy and can't be done as openly. This will probably tie into cheating too. Seeing someone secretly has its own considerations, and discovery should come with consequences.

• Condoms, or possibly birth control in general: NPCs already sometimes care about where you finish, so this would be a next logical step. For the time being, this would simulate risk assessment but without actual consequences, but it would lay quite a bit of groundwork for a certain future roadmap item.

• Starting personality traits: Perhaps you want to play a character who's shy or insecure from the start, or one with confidence, or one who struggles to resist peer pressure, or one who just tends to be lucky or unlucky. This would enable select inclinations (including some new ones) from the start, and give some mechanical effects to each.

• Creating books, sketches, and photographs: Another common request. We'd do some work on secondary skills to enable your character to create things.

• NPCs owning cars: Some NPCs own cars, which could have implications on dates or lead to unique events in town.

• Aftercare system: Intermediate passage(s) between the end of an encounter and the continuation of the story, which can sometimes feel too abrupt. Would especially factor into D/s type encounters.

As always, these will remain on my vast todo list to be done sooner or later regardless of how well they do in this particular poll, so your vote only determines how we prioritize right now. Please vote for as many as you want! Thank you!
