Monthly plans, tidying up posts, organising rewards, brainstormings and polls

So... This is what we are up to this days.

Monthly plans:

· Complete the minigame and ending of Candy world.
· Do as much as possible of the main structure of the academy. There is chances that we'll have it operative by the end of the month but we can't really be sure.
· Do the main images of the menus of the academy.
· Do some more images for lessons of the students and teachers.
· Do the avatars for the characters of a new world.
· Do the backgrounds for a new world.
· Do most of the texts for a new world. We say "most" because we never know exactly how much time is going to take us the writing of a new world.
· Add gallery. This time we plan to put it always unlocked but with the images and animations locked and every time the player watches an image it gets unlocked in the gallery. (we'll prepare a code to unlock it for 10$+ patrons too).
· Prepare but not yet implement "NPC" events for the characters already in the game.  All characters from the worlds once in the academy will not be always taking and giving lessons. After their daily lessons they will wander around the world, just greeting the player or providing side quests if the proper things are triggered. More or less this will be the evolution of the night events of chapter 1 and 2.

More or less this is what we plan for this month hoping to have everything properly completed to do a release but, in two months terms we plan to add all this, plus a new world completed or almost.

Tidying up posts and organizing rewards:

We went back to the beginning of times of this project and we have been adding tags to all posts. A little too late, because this has been taking more time than we wanted, we realized the we could been adding more tags like names of the characters to make it more easy to find particular images of the character. Right now we are not going to add it but it is in our to do list.

Beside of that we'll make some compilation posts for certain tiers to make it easier to find everything, for example a post with all old animations or old exclusive arts. Also we'll do a pinned post, which will always be at the top of this page, with links to the important post and info about the tags to make it easier to navigate through the rewards and post we made which now, are over one thousand.

Brainstorming and polls:

A lot of things are on our minds this days about the development, about the management of this patreon and this week we'll be sharing and asking you some of this things.

· Concentrate the posting. We are thinking on do all important posts one day of the week for example on Fridays. Compiling all the art, sketches, making ofs and such and posting it certain day of the week. For us it will help us to save some time but also to not forget to publish everything we should. And for you, maybe it's more rewarding to know when al post will come and easy to keep track of the project... Or not :P because of it we'll open a poll asking for what do you prefer.

· Do less spoilers. This could sound stupid but maybe do you prefer less content before it's in the game. Let me explain ^^u A couple of voices made us know that we are maybe telling and showing too much about the game and, after think about it, we kinda agree. We are probably spoiling our own work and removing the joi of discover it for you in the game. Fix this could be traduced on maybe keep the 1 of every 5 images published for everyone, but maybe just 1 of every 2 for 10$+ tiers instead of publishing all of them. Also in our overall communications, show more hints and glimpses of what it's coming, keeping some mystery, so in the end is more enjoyable for you... Again, maybe we are wrong, so we'll open another poll to know what do you think about it.
·
Brainstorming about influencing people. This is something we should ask to certain tiers but, since it is very important to us, we'll ask it to all the tiers but also leave it public to receive all the feedback we can. Now when you are exploring the world and you are going to influence someone, this part with the balls with the actions, don't just satisfy us. Yes, it have really interesting events and images, in our opinion, but it will probably end up being the grinding boring part of this game. At first we wanted to made this actions not necessary performed just once, for example, some character could need 4 kisses before allow you to move to dirty touch but it doesn't really worked. Now we are thinking on a system where you choose one action or another judging by the facial expression of the character, and if you choose the wrong action many times the character has a cooldown time until you can interact with him her again. This still doesn't quite satisfy us, and because of this we'll probably open some spaces to ask you, not how should we solve it, but how you'd like this part of the game to be, or just random thoughts about it.


Aaaaaand... We still have a lot of things in our minds but we think this will be more than enough to bother you this week ^^

Sorry about the huge wall of text an have a nice day!
