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!

0.13 Content Poll Results

I've tallied the results from our 0.13 Content Poll:

1st: Post-Big Event Arcs w/ higher demands (310 weighted votes) -- already in the 0.13 Release!

2nd: Following up on the Intel from the Escorting arcs (227 weighted votes) -- already in the 0.13 Release!

3rd: Sexually Dominant Claire Arc (129 weighted votes) -- I'll be making sure this is included in 0.14

4th: Super Senior Prologue Arc (110 weighted votes) -- this will be included in 0.14 if I have bandwidth, or 0.15 otherwise.

5th: Following-up on the Intel from the Back Room (84 weighted votes)

6th: Following-up on the Iranian (80 weighted votes)

7th: Content with characters outside the club (55 weighted votes)

8th: Kenji (37 weighted votes)

9th More Dating Content (29 weighted votes)

Thank you all for participating in the poll, we always appreciate and respond to your feedback (hopefully that's clear!). We did have to remove around 30 or so votes due to cancellation of support, but that's such a small portion of the overall number. We're supremely thankful for those who stick with us.

We'll be posting a hotfix for 0.13 to repair some of the blocked arcs for the new content and some other bugs that joMOtta sent our way (thank you!)

Afterwards, I'll be posting a Content Poll for 0.14. This will be Honeypot focus and guide which new honeypot arcs we open up.

0.10.5 Content Poll

Thank you for taking part in the content poll! We had 106 of you cast your ballots on what should be included in the upcoming 0.10.5 release.

Fun data?

-If we just go by strict, unweighted votes, the winner was 'any group sex scene' with 43, followed by Honeypot Datu with 38, and Escorting Content with Bona with 36.

-If we weight the votes by supporter levels (because that's one of the ways we say thank you around here!), the winner was still 'any group sex scene' with 322 weight, then Honeypot Datu with 259, and Escorting Content with Bona with 243 -- so a similar narrow margin between second and third, but a much larger margin between 1 and 2.

-On the other end of the spectrum, More with Sallah almost beat out the Iranian despite having only 3 votes to the Iranian 10.

We've already begun work on 0.10.5 while the poll was running -- Noice on some sexy art for passages, Lewd on some new clothes and maybe some additional 'altered' clothing for when they become distressed.

The writing has already finished an escorting arc with Bona (and an additional one in the works) -- one that has a potential ending with some 'group sex' of a sort. I'll round it out with Datu and then release!

On another note, I had to discount a handful of votes because of cancelled support (sad-face), and noticed the same trend we had earlier of supporters joining, grabbing the release and then dropping support.

We had hoped the new format where Dossier+ all receive releases on the day would resolve the issue -- and was what everyone voted as the best solution.

Hopefully it's just a blip and the trend will peter out.

While we very much appreciate the continued support [from a majority of our supporters], we do hope that our reliable, content-filled, quality releases many, many times a year inspires a growth in our base.If you can't support, or can only do so intermittently, we understand, but anything you can do to spread the word also helps us out.

We're a small team of three, plus our contractors, so there's not a ton to share between us while we continue to create and release more for Blue Swallow.

See you with 0.10.5!
