0.22 should be done in a week or two, so it's time to start thinking about 0.23. At long last, there's no stretch goal or urgent bug hunt to deal with, so there's actually going to be a vote!

Station Decor

The station still looks a bit spartan in places, and this will help with that. It would add a bunch of new decorative slave posts (like dance platforms and bondage hangers) for several rooms, some casino stuff for the club, and some artwork for the rest.

Body Mods

This will open up slave customization a bit more. The goal would be to add clothing options for bondage gear like armbinders and ropes, as well as piercings and (depending on a couple tests), amputation.

Living Galaxy

This would be yet another rework of the galactic combat system to be more in line with more traditional space strategy games (ships would be produced at conquered worlds, and would stop teleporting back to your station). It would also add some new mechanics around nonviolent conquest, a new class of event for newly-conquered planets, and some other stuff. This is the biggest patch in the bunch by a wide margin, and would likely be at least an 8 week endeavor (as opposed to four weeks for the rest).

Cutscene Graphics Overhaul II

There's a lot that could be done to polish up cutscenes. This would direct development towards things like color grading, more animated expressions, and new environments. This will just cover whatever I can get done in a four-week patch cycle, and there will be a Cutscene Graphics Overhaul III option afterwards.

Better Progression

This is a more meat-and-potatoes update. It would add a research system that you would have to use to unlock some of the more advanced furniture, as well as some things that you would have to get by finding them on planets. There would also be a new room (laboratory), a scientist assignment for intelligent slaves, and some new stuff to unlock.
