Patreon Poll Results: Storyline Additions
The results from this week’s poll are in! The "Corrupted Dominative Partner" arc is currently in the lead, with most other options following closely-except for the "Cuck" arc, which trailed behind.
Some of you suggested in the comments that I should add all the options to the game. I think that’s a great idea, as branching storylines always add depth. I’ve decided to prioritize the winning arcs as the game's "backbone" once the main storyline is complete, and I will reconsider the other options (excluding the cuck arc) as future additions.
Character Customization Details
As you can see from the preview, all of the gray sections are now fully adjustable and integrated into the game. While you set your initial skin tone during creation, you can also tan on the riverside resort to darken your skin further (3% per session). If you stop tanning for a while, your skin will gradually fade back to its original shade. Please note there is a maximum limit to how much a character can tan!
Effects and Tutorials
I’ve integrated several visual signals that affect gameplay during story sequences. As shown in the gif, these include clothing change prompts, red strike signals, and makeup notifications.
I’ve also added Battle Tutorials. While I know most of you are experienced gamers who won’t have trouble with a combat minigame like this, tutorials are essential for making the game accessible to everyone. I’ll also use these mechanics to explain some of the more niche systems later in the game.
New Patreon Poll: Makeup Mechanics
I’m currently refining the makeup system to make it more versatile. Since this is a core part of the gameplay experience, I want to hear your thoughts before I fully commit to the integration.
Q: How should the makeup mechanics be implemented?
Note: NPCs will still change the player's makeup regardless of the option chosen during storyline.
Forced Makeup: Makeup is mostly mandatory, and players have little control over applying or removing it (NPCs will dictate the player's appearance).
Free Customization: Players have full freedom to apply or remove makeup once they have access to it, though your choices may affect the character's Mood.
Gradual Mastery: Control over makeup (such as thickness and detail) will unlock gradually as the player gains knowledge and experience.
