TM 0.27 content poll
Added 2024-06-25 09:37:04 +0000 UTCAn unplanned content poll!
I'll say this here since you would've seen or otherwise realized it very soon anyway:
TM 0.26 will be the final TM update in terms of story and gameplay mechanics.
In July, the focus will shift to GoV as new main project for now. I'm cooking something more story-driven as well, but that needs more time.
Originally, the idea was for TM 0.26 to be the last content update entirely and be renamed to version 1.0 upon public release (maybe with some minor updates, and ofc bugfixes if necessary).
However, since I didn't manage to include everything I wanted in 0.26 (at least it would be impossible without another major delay...) and I feel I owe you tying up some loose ends and adding a bit more patron-chosen content, I've decided to make one more final 0.27 sandbox update afterwards, with content decided by you!
Edit: Check out the edits at the bottom if you haven't already!
Voting system:
To make things a little more fair relative to the patron level, voting power in this particular poll will be
Lv1 Supporter: 1 point
Lv2 Supporter+/Mansion Heir: 2 points
Lv3 Maid Charmer: 4 points
Lv4 Maid Master: 8 points, optional: custom distribution (DM me here or on Discord)
Lv5 Lord of Love: 16 points, optional: custom distribution (DM me here or on Discord)
The poll will be multi-choice, BUT your voting power will be divided by the number of items you choose, so the more options you choose, the more diluted your vote becomes.
So choose wisely!
If you only truly care for one option (or two), you're better off voting only for that.
Note: I know that sometimes votes can't be retracted. If you change your mind but can't change your vote on the poll, DM me and I'll take that into consideration when evaluating the results.
The options:
The first set of options are about seduction scenes. This means maids randomly visiting you in the evening and actively seducing you, instead of everything being strictly your initiative.
Of course, these would be avoidable (can be disabled), but it might be a nice addition to the game.
However, they'd also be more work than some simpler scenes, so I'll put them up individually and only implement the most popular ones.
The second set of options is about 'loose ends', basically scenes I've been considering for a while but that didn't make it in so far, either because of the amount of work involved, or because the maid in question isn't as popular as others (looking at Leyla and Jenna...).
The third set of options is about Moist Memories/Forbidden Fantasies that got some votes in the past, but lost in direct comparison to other content*.
Only the 4 most popular choices from these 15 options are guaranteed to make it into 0.27, so make your vote count!
5th place might also make it depending on the complexity of the Top 4, but no guarantees.
*Note: I didn't bother putting up any MM/FF options where I saw no chance of getting enough votes individually (as they weren't popular last time, either), vote for the suitable dedicated special options below if you absolutely want to see the less popular options implemented, too.
>> Special question at the end <<
This question does not dilute your vote on the scenes above, no worries.
You can safely vote on this without 'hurting' any other choices, this is basically a separate poll.
This is about making an independent special fully about memories and/or fantasies, instead of adding more of them to the main game.
Vote either for
- 1 or 2 out of the 3 MM/FF categories (if you're only into 1 or 2 of them), or
- for the 4th option if you like all 3 MM/FF categories listed there, or
- the 5th choice if you don't like any of them, or only care about some scenes already listed among the 15 options above.
The special would obviously add more scenes per category than the ones shown in the poll options, and generally be a bit higher-effort per scene than those added via Carnal Crystal.
However, this dedicated special will only come to pass if it gets enough support!
IF it gets enough support, this will be prioritised over adding any more MM/FF scenes to the main game for now, although the most popular choices (for example the Kate scenes) might also trickle down to the main game later.
Basically, if there's enough support for this special, 0.27 will focus on the top 4 from the seduction and loose ends categories, and any popular CC options will be added through the dedicated special instead.
Whether the special will be a big 1-time release or updated in small steps will be decided after it gets enough support, if that happens at all.
But as mentioned above, please treat this question like a separate poll, and vote on scenes under the assumption that the special might not happen.
Also, a reminder just in case: Except to me, polls are anonymous, so vote as free as a bird ^^
The poll will run until the end of the week (CEST).
Edit: Clarified some details on the MM/FF special vote.
Edit 2: Alright, so although the poll is still running, I can already announce a first consequence of the current results:
One of the most popular scenes is already going to be in release 0.26. That's right, it's going to arrive even earlier!
Also, just in case: I realized later that some people could misunderstand the 'all of the above' on the 4th MM/FF special option to include all scenes listed in the poll.
That's not the case, it "only" means all 3 MM/FF categories listed in the MM/FF options 1-3. Sorry if that caused any confusion ^^'
You can still change your vote if you misunderstood that before.
Edit 3: I ended the poll a bit earlier, there wasn't much movement over the last 3 days and the results are pretty clear, further votes wouldn't have changed the conclusions. Thanks to everyone who voted!
More info on what the results will mean for the next weeks will follow in a separate post.
