Small Actions Poll

So if you folks played the latest Beta/EA, you may have noticed that we added some mechanic that we call Actions. Yes, that "Do..." thing where you can finally slap Rae's ass in 4k (it's actually still FHD, but the lighting and everything else is much better)!

If you haven't played the Beta/EA yet, then please do so before voting. If you played the Beta/EA, but haven't noticed said Actions, then please do notice them before voting. Just in case, the current list is:

Rae when she's checking the freezer. You can slap her ass or drag her pants down.

Naomi when she's sitting behind the counter. You can massage her shoulders or squeeze her boobs.

Cait when she's having breakfast. You can pat her head, steal a spoon of cereal from her, or kiss her hair.

Lyriel when she's brushing her hair. You can pat her head, hug her, or grope her tits.

And we have four more actions ready to go for the next Alpha. Two for Rae when she's cooking breakfast in her apron (including some tongue action directed at her butt) and two for Blair when she's checking the shelves in the morning.

The current presentation of the Actions is very much temporary. We'd like to be more clear about the conditions, maybe add some notification when the new actions are available, etc. We'll likely update the requirements as well, adding lewdness score gating for some of them at the very least.

Despite them being very crudely implemented, we the developers kinda really like them. They are fun and easy to make, and they provide a fair amount of new content at the same time. I'd actually like to talk more about this content/effort balance, but it'll have to wait until the next dev update.

For now, please disregard all the development-side stuff, and share your thoughts about the Actions as a game mechanic. Do you like them? Would you like to see more? How much more?

The Options!

1. More and bigger! Up to and including sex quickies and the like

We'll keep adding actions aiming to cover all the available occupations and we will be upping the ante. Up to 5 different actions per occupation, maybe more, and we'll see about adding some very short quickie sex scenes. A cheeky handjob from Rae behind the counter, a quick in-and-out with Lyriel bent over in front of the mirror. Those are definitely not going to be full sex scenes with multiple angles and speeds, but still could be fun. We might convert some of the poorer fitting old sex scenes into actions if appropriate.

2. More, but keep them short and sweet

We'll keep adding actions aiming to cover all the available occupations but we will stop at 5-6 actions for each occupation max. We'll keep them short, 4 to 5 renders each. Even though there will be some lewder action, we'll leave the actual sex to the designated sex scenes.

3. Add 2-3 actions for each occupation and leave it at that

We'll keep populating more occupations with actions, similar to what we added so far. We will keep it light, 2 to 3 actions for each occupation, some lewd, some cute, some funny, all quite short.

4. Keep the ones that were added, but don't add more

If you don't really care for the actions, but don't mind them being in the game, that's the option for you. We'll still add the ones that are mostly ready and maybe we'll add a few more later if we really want to.

5. Remove them all

If you really don't care for actions and think they are bad and shouldn't be in the game at all, pick this option.

I'm making this poll a multi-choice one, so you can tick every option that you are fine with! Cast your votes, and see you soon!
