Route voting

Hello again. Look at that sun. Was it always this bright? Someone should do something.

Today, as I gather my energy to begin work on the next release, I wanted to discuss route voting. It's not something that's cropped up much yet, because what we've seen so far still falls under character introduction, and so I have specific info that I need to convey for each one right now.

But as the game opens up to involve all characters fully, that'll change. I discuss this in much more spoilery depth in https://www.patreon.com/posts/67455611, but what matters is that there will be some routes that are almost completely sexual, and some that aren't. For the almost completely sexual ones, I think it'll be amazing to have things guided by you, the players, instead of solely by what I can think of. I can think of some hot shit, but there's always someone with an even hotter idea.

As always, I try to think of approaches that mesh with my writing style to minimise burnout and maximise value. So I'm imagining a model whereby I'll start one of these eligible routes and write some portion of it until it reaches a sexual branching point. I'll stop it there, and create a post here for people to discuss options for where it should go (seeded with a few ideas from me). I'll collect the responses and create a poll to make a final decision, then use that to write the next portion. While that process of discussing & voting is ongoing, I'll work on other routes - either new ones, or ones that previously had a vote cast and are ready to progress further. I certainly won't be short of things to do at any given time :)

I'm curious what people think of this approach. Would you enjoy voting on options, or are you happier to just coast and see what smut I produce next?
