As mentioned a couple times before already.
Here is the promised poll about Sue and Shion their content.
But as a reminder in case people missed my previous posts, what is this about?

This poll is about the direction I'll be taking Sue and Shion their content in.
I had planned to implement Sue and Shion since the moment I started work on Sweet Affection.
However, I slowly gave up on that idea because there is already too much work ahead of me.
I decided to turn them into minor characters that would further Sarah and Shannon their story without them having real content.

That changed after the Sarah & Shannon Level up E1 -> E2
People loved Sue and Shion so much that they wanted to see more of them.
And I made the decision to turn them into proper side-characters.
(And giving them their first level of content, last month.)

But because I implemented them this late into the main story line, it causes some issues.
Sarah, Shannon and Suzie are high level while Sue and Shion are low level.
And because of that, I have two paths ahead of me

1. Develop Sue and Shion their content within the main story line of Sarah, Shannon and Suzie.

2. Develop Sue and Shion as a side-character separated from Sarah, Shannon and Suzie

I will now go into what those indivudual choices mean.

1.

Developing Sue and Shion within the main story will mean that I need to develop a lot of content for them before I can progress into the final level for Sarah, Shannon and Suzie.
Because all their final levels should take place at the very same time.

Which means I'll have to spend a lot of updates focusing on Sue and Shion instead of Sarah and Shannon.
(Don't worry, Sarah and Shannon will still get plenty of events within that content.)

I have Sue and Shion planned out to have 8 levels in total. (Level 8 being their final level.)
So I'd have to implement 6 levels for the both of them.
In the end, during those levels Sue and Shion will become a part of the main story.
And they will have a huge part in the very final level of the game.

2.

Developing Sue and Shion as a side characters would basically mean giving them the same treatment as Donna and Rose.
They will have their own story.
Sarah, Shannon and Suzie might appear every now and then in those events.
But neither of these characters will play a part in their stories or progression.
And Sue and Shion will NOT feature in the main ending.

They will get their own ending like all the other side-characters.
Doing it like this will also mean I can take my time with their content and don't have to focus a lot of time on them in the coming months.

Normally, I don't ever talk about what my own preference is during polls.
Quite simply because I don't want to influence your opinion.
I am fine with either of the choices that you want to make, I want to make that very clear.

But, my own preference would be doing option 1.
I originally had planned this story from the start and I feel like it functions best, this way.
However, I also value your opinion.
And the truth is, we've been already developing Sweet Affection for so long and some of you have been waiting on certain side-characters for so long.
Your opinion matters to me, that is why I want to make this poll.

I am making this poll public to everyone.
But, paying members their votes will carry more weight.
So without further waiting, here is the poll.
I'll let this poll run for a couple weeks unless there is a clear winner early.

For now, I'm going to end this post and get back to work.
