Sprint 3 dev poll results

Results are in on two dev polls.  

The first poll asked the usual question: what should we work on next?

359 patrons voted.  The result was 60% favour of the avatar upgrade!  Female Agent 1.5 will deliver the following improvements:

The second poll was in response to a comment Enrico made in another thread.  He said:

...it feels like adding the slightest amount of content (be it new scenes or enriching existing ones with new branches/content) takes you ages and I never understood why...

I think the reason is that, as soon as a system or scene is "good enough", I move onto the next major task.  This keeps the development speed up, but means that existing content rarely gets polished or improved.

That sparked an idea: I proposed weekly "polishing days" in which, instead of working on the current sprint, I'd polish a piece of existing content.  This would mean that improvements got carried out regularly, at the cost of sprints taking about 20% longer to complete.

224 patrons voted.  The result was 71% in favour of introducing weekly polishing days.

Next steps: tomorrow I'll publish sprint plan 3, with a new Trello and an estimated release date for Female Agent 1.5.  I'll also publish the first polishing day poll, for Analysts+ to choose the first polishing task.

Ew :-D

Crushstation

Yep :-)

Yes, we're going to add ethnicities in the future so the agent can be black, Indian, Polynesian etc. This will be a bigger update than just adding skin colours, though, as we'd like agents of colour to have story changes too (e.g. different name lists, different Lifepath partners and origin stories, encountering occasional prejudice or fetishisation in the main story, etc), so we'll do this as a future update.

Victoria has redrawn the existing 6 breast sizes to make better use of shading to make the bigger sizes look correctly big now. Stripper/pornstar-style massive enhancements are a popular request and a planned feature, but they'll have to wait until Bangkok for story reasons (i.e. an agent who is already busty is unlikely to get stripper tits while she's working for the CIA).

Crushstation

Exactly! NPC upgrade will be 1.6, Sex Engine upgrade 1.7.

Crushstation

Yeah. After this sprint we need to do two more upgrades – 1.6 will be an upgrade of the random NPC generator, 1.7 the Sex Engine. Then 1.8 will push the story to Bangkok. Sorry it's not quicker, but if we don't do these upgrades first Bangkok won't be as interesting, sexy or fun as it should be.

Implementing selectable facial ... hair colours & hairstyles<br><br>Please don't go to that much trouble on my account. ;)

It should be 2 sprints away, since it has to come after the npc improvement sprint which is after this sprint.

What was the verdict with hands? Will they be tinkered with to look more natural?

Alliterative Acolyte

I mean, there are some girls that have some pretty unnaturally large looking busts that are in fact completely natural, and since they are also using this time to add new butt and muscles shapes/sizes I figured that doing it here would be fine. Get it all out of the way at once if you can.

deamonmaster

or maybe that comes about in Bangkok (either voluntary or non)

Biggles

Are you going to add lighter and darker skin tones in the future? Probably the right time to do it.

Ayy Lmao

Since you’re upgrading the avatars, this seems like a good time to add in another bust size or two like you’ve said you’ve wanted in the past

deamonmaster

Same question with a twist, before Bangkok the next biggest milestone for this game will be the long awaited reworked sex engine, would you say that's one or two "sprint" away from being worked on or is that further in the future?

elmagio

It seems like it's a ways away, but do you have a general, internal timeline of when you anticipate working on Bangkok content?
