February '19 Polls

Hello patrons and welcome to the monthly polls for February 2019!

This month's polls will focus on the Gallery mechanics!

Currently, the Gallery works by storing scenes that you've already encountered in-game. Naturally, this means people who play the game a certain way (ie. solving problems with non-sexual routes) don't unlock the scenes at all.

Some players prefer it this way, while others complained this discourages them from playing the "safe" route.

Another notable issue is that given the way it's currently structured, it's impossible to complete the Gallery since some routes branch off from others completely.

As such, this month's polls are to determine if we should make changes to the Gallery.

The first solution, and simplest solution, is to add payable unlocks, similar to how Monster Tokens and the Menagerie works. Essentially, since there is the ability for Claire to make a surplus of silvers, and there's not much places to spend them on, why not have the ability to "buy" scenes using silvers? Depending on each scene's initial unlock difficulty, the amount you need to unlock them will vary.

The second solution is to have progression unlocks. We tested something similar with the Prologue, where completing the Prologue gives you the ability to unlock all scenes from the Prologue. The idea would be that completing an entire major questlines would trigger an unlock for a whole group of scenes at once (even those you haven't seen before from an alternate route).

The third solution is to have unconditional unlocks. Let me explain - let's say Claire can solve a situation by offering a sexual favour, or completing a non-sexual task. However, regardless of how you approach the situation, once it's solved (even if you did it with a non-sexual method) the sexual scene will unlock in the Gallery.

And of course the fourth solution is simply to let the Gallery remain as-is, with no change!
