0.19 Progress Report + Poll Results

Looks like you all are mostly not interested in the Bluetooth connection. Kinda what I figured, so we'll keep it low, low priority for those interested, but not force anything through.

What have we been up to this past week?

-JoMOtta and Zach and I have been tackling bugs and content clarity.

-Cyrus -- the important politician from the Big Event -- has a follow-up arc

-Petey's honeypot arc has a conclusion

-Another Club Work Day has been added, which focuses on the potential for drug addiction coming to a head.

-I've begun work on reactivity in the Prologue for Claire's reputation, per your request!

What does this look like?

-New 'Rumor' scene for all Claires

-Reactivity from her friends and family in each High School arc

-Reactivity during Graduation and Prom

-A moment at the beginning of Gap Year and University for Claire to relax out of being labelled a prude or try and leave her slutty background behind her

I hope this gives the feeling and flavor that you all were looking for! I'm excited to hear your reactions.

Now for the Poll

Winner: More Reactivity

On weighted votes it takes it — but this is a genuinely interesting result, because the raw popular vote went the other way. Here's the combined picture across both platforms:

By headcount, Deeper Roots is the clear crowd favorite (59 picks to More Reactivity's 44). Weighting flips the top two: More Reactivity wins by 72 weighted points. Thanks for supporting us and driving our content decisions!
