Hi everybody.
Now that we've started work on 0.8, we want you to help us decide the focus of our next update. So:
What character/story should the 0.9 release focus on?
A few points about the options:
The Main Story:
We will see Madeline Goldenbush, Lana, and Serena in the next part of the Main Story. Both Madeline and Lana will have sexual content.
After going through our notes, we noticed that Maple was perfect for one of the important events of the Main Story, so we've decided to add her content (with some changes) in the next part of the Main Story. She will have sex scenes with the MC.
We plan to introduce several new female characters in the next part of the Main Story, and most of them will have sex scenes with the MC. None of the new girls will have their own updates.
Although an option, we're not necessarily promising threesomes involving the above characters -- we can't determine that until after proper planning.
Importantly, the next part of the Main Story will be epic and will involve retaking the Old Capital, therefore, we will likely break the update into multiple releases to ensure we don't go more than a year without an update. So, if you vote for the Main Story, you're picking it for 0.9 and 0.10 (and possibly 0.11, depending on the number of sex scenes, the complexity of the action, etc.). We both think it will be worth it since the Main Story deserves something epic.
Note that although this will eliminate the 0.10 content poll, we will have other important decisions to replace that poll, notably 'What town should we focus on next?', which will determine the entire direction of the future of the Main Story, and 'Which existing character will get extra sex scenes?'.
Gretta + Anne:
We have come up with a fun story involving both Gretta and Anne, and believe that we can have a release that covers both their arcs in a satisfactory manner while having plenty of sex scenes.
There will be other female characters in this release, including Madam Fillita, and others.
Although an option, we're not necessarily promising a threesome involving Anne and Gretta -- we can't determine that until after proper planning.
Joy + the Twins:
Joy is Junior's twin sister who manages the mill in the village and she and the farmer twins will share an update and their stores are linked.
The story will center around Joy, but the other two ladies will also have multiple sex scenes.
In this update will also meet Laura, Junior's love interest, but there won't be any scenes with her.
We wish we could have shown the design of these three characters, but we couldn't manage that due to time constraints.
Here's a bit of description: the twins have large breasts. Based on Chestnut's few sketches, they'll be more on the curvy, voluptuous side, in general. Joy will be in her twenties and she'll be our first female character wearing glasses.
Although an option, we're not necessarily promising a threesome involving Joy and either of the twins -- we can't determine that until after proper planning.
We won't have a threesome involving the sisters due to Patreon's ToS.

A few points about the poll:
This poll will be open for a week.
You can pick as many options as you want.
If there's a tie, it'll fall to us to pick a winner.
Each patron can have only one submission. So, if you vote once as a Close Friend, upgrade to the Best Friend tier, and vote again, we will only count your Best Friend tier vote.
Best Friend tier votes count x3.
Happy voting, and feel free to use the comments section to explain your vote.

P.S. I want to reiterate that we plan to have at least one major content release per year. To achieve that we have taken several steps, including:
We plan to increase the number of hours our toddler spends in kindergarten to four, allowing us to have more work time in the mornings. This way, we'll be able to work about 6-7 hours a day, six days a week.
We've arranged for babysitters on days when we need additional work hours.
We will set a word count limit to ensure our updates remain manageable. This, of course, means that we won't have more 0.7-level epic stories, aside from the Main Story.
That said, if we need more time to realize our vision, we'll split the update into multiple releases (similar to our plan for the next part of the Main Story, but potentially for side stories as well).
Edit: I want to confirm that the next part of the Main Story is merely the next chapter of the MC's adventure. There will be more Main Story updates in the future.
