Guidelines and Clarifications

Dev Builds: During normal periods of development*, every two weeks I will upload the version of the game that I'm currently working with for those eligible to play. Be aware that these will be early access builds that lack the polish of the game's public release--they'll have dead ends, potentially be buggy, and may even include scenes that are only partially written. You can import saves from the public release into a dev build and they should function fine, but do not export new saves from a dev build or they will very likely become incompatible with any future full releases!

As part of the dev build reward, you'll also get early access to completed updates!

*After a major update is released I always take a short break to recharge during which there won't be any dev builds. Additionally, sometimes when I'm working on smaller or purely gameplay related(rather than new story content) updates it either doesn't make sense or isn't feasible to release dev builds in the way I normally would. Those circumstances are infrequent though, and I'll always inform you of when there will be a pause on regularly scheduled dev builds!

Scene Polls: Every other month there will be a poll where all patrons get to vote on a fan-submitted scene idea to be added to the game! During months where there isn't a live poll, anyone who is at the Sophomore tier or higher is eligible to suggest a scene idea to be included in the next poll. In the event of a tie, I will make the final vote to decide the winner. The schedule for the poll is as follows:

• During submission months, you should aim to get your suggestion to me by the 25th to ensure there's enough time for it to be approved before the poll goes up
• During a poll month, the preliminary poll with all suggestions included will be posted on the 1st of the month and run for two weeks!
• Then, after those votes are tallied, a second poll will go up for a week with the selection narrowed down to the 10 most popular scenes!
• Finally, after those results are tallied there will be one last round of voting that goes until the end of the month with only the top three scenes to narrow things down for the final winner!
• The results will be posted during the first few days of the next month!
• (Februarys may have slightly adjusted dates because of its weird number of days, I'll be sure to inform you when it rolls around ^^;)

For the sake of internal consistency and quality control, I will have to approve a suggested scene before it goes into the monthly poll. If a suggestion is denied, I will usually try to give you some insight as to why or even offer a suggested tweak to make it work, but unfortunately I don't always have time to give many details(or the details might involve spoiling story elements I'd rather keep a surprise). Below are a set of guidelines to help you when pitching your scene.

Scene Suggestion Guidelines

• Your suggestion can be as simple or as detailed as you want. For example, you could simply request "An unbirth scene with Leah as the pred", or you could go into detail about the specific circumstances that set it up, exactly what characters are involved, how they react to different outcomes, and so on. However, bear in mind that the more specific a scene is the more likely I am to find issues that need to be tweaked or will keep it from getting approved!
• As long as it's limited to a single interaction/situation you can technically suggest any kind of scene, even if it doesn't involve vore. We have had non-vore scenes win in the past!
• Remember that you're suggesting a single scene and not an entire story branch--your scene should be self contained and not require me to necessarily follow up on it later.
• By that same logic, I'm very unlikely to approve any suggestions that would involve more than one fully fledged vore scene. (For example, a brand new reversal scene where you can end up as pred or prey would be rejected under normal circumstances since that's functionally two scenes, but adding a reversal to an existing pred or prey scene would be doable)
• The only methods of vore that will be accepted are: Oral, Anal, and Unbirth. Anything else is not possible within the game universe and will be rejected.
• No scat or gore
• If a major character(the ones with relationship trackers) cannot be digested yet  (outside of a game over where the player also gets digested) in existing content, I won't accept scene suggestions that end in them getting digested, even if the suggestion takes place far enough in the future that they probably will be on the menu by the time it takes place.
• You can suggest an addition or alternative ending to an existing scene rather than something entirely new if you would like! However, you're limited to only the two days prior to what's currently being worked on*. (For example, if I'm currently writing Day 5, the earliest you can suggest a scene for is Day 3) Also bear in mind that I may reject these kinds of suggestions on the grounds that they would have too much of an effect on scenes that happen after them rather than a problem with the scene itself.
• *The exception to this is that once the final day in a week is completed and released, that entire week is set in stone and immediately off limits for suggestions.
• The furthest in the future you can suggest scenes for is the week after the one currently being worked on (so for example as I'm writing this Week 1 has recently been completed, so Weeks 2 and 3 are available for suggestions)
• In order to prevent any characters from completely dominating the polls and/or getting overloaded with content, any characters that play a significant role in the winning scene suggestion will be banned from being included in suggestions for the next two polls. The current list of banned characters will be included in the monthly reminder message and the most recent poll results post! (Note: Because of some frustrations that came from her extreme popularity dominating the polls whenever she was available, Mina gets a longer 3 poll ban from being included in suggestions when a scene featuring her wins)

Finally, while we have yet to ever have a month where we hit that limit as of writing this, the maximum number of scenes that can be in the poll is 25. In the event that there are more than 25 suggestions in a month, I keep a queue sorted by patron tier* and order of submission that I will use to decide which get used. Any that don't make the cut will be first on the list (for their tier) for the next month!

*(This means higher tiers get priority: all senior suggestions are considered first, then all junior suggestions, then finally sophomores)

If there's anything else you'd like clarification on, let me know!
