Our team is currently working on a new Gym location which you will be able to visit like any other area in the game, and it will serve as a hub for most of our game's sporty characters. That includes characters that are yet to be implemented or are lacking a proper route. The image attached is still very much work-in-progress, but it should give you a decent idea of what to expect.
Which brings me to the actual topic of discussion: Academy34 already has a PE teacher, Coach Ruslana, who is directly inspired by Zarya from Overwatch. She has never been a particularly popular character and we rarely receive requests to add her as a romanceable (or at least fuckable) partner, but I'm sure there are still people who might be interested in seeing her content in some shape or form. Since the interest in her is low, we wanted to ask our community if maybe we should take certain artistic liberties while working on updating Ruslana's design? We were planning to touch up on her sprites, since they're old as shit, and it might be a good chance to bring a bit more spice into her character as a whole.
Basically, if our community votes in favor of giving us artistic freedom, then we won't stick to Zarya as the only reference, and instead will try and turn Ruslana into a bit more attractive muscle mommy with more characterization than just being "a big slav woman". And since our team originates from Ukraine, we were always looking for an excuse to use some of our country's sexual traditions as an inspiration for one of the in-game characters (seriously, there's so many traditions and rituals associated with sex or nudity, it's unreal), for which Ruslana might be the perfect fit. In terms of design, we will also try to make it more interesting and appealing for muscle mommy enthusiast, while keeping the door open to the potential (and optional) futa content.
Results of this poll won't affect our short term release plans and will only dictate how we approach Ruslana as a character in the future.
