Decision (and a small additional poll)

Alright then,

votes had started to fizzle out, and the trend didn't change much, either.
So I felt there was little point in prolonging this; any additional day in limbo means a day not working on that game, after all.
And I've honestly had enough of breaks, uncertainty and going in circles.

And of course, as has become the norm for any polls where I hope for a clear winner...
with Patreon and SubStar votes combined, it ended up being a ridiculously tight race at the top, meaning the "I can't make everyone happy, no matter what I do" went into full effect once again 😅

That said, given the combined votes from both platforms and some other factors,

I'm going with the TM spin-off.

it won here and was close on Patreon; all votes combined it was a literal tie at 65-65.
While backer votes were slightly in favor of the Sarah VN after weighting, it was still in "roughly a tie" territory; far from the clear result I had hoped for.
While it's true that I had no strong preference, I did mention that I was leaning a bit towards the TM spin-off in the event of a close result.
In terms of comments and DMs, the TM spin-off got more vocal support.
For the TM spin-off, I already have a fairly clear idea about almost every aspect of it;
For the Sarah VN, I'd have much more planning and pre-production to do first, which also means more risk of another HHR situation.

Anyway, if the Sarah VN had won clearly (both places combined), I'd have rolled with it.

But with the result we have, I'm going with what I think I'll enjoy more, and probably do a better/faster job with.

--------------------------------------------------------------

With that out of the way, I want to make one thing clear:

It will have TM-style harem content, too, and the 'other stuff' will be fully avoidable.

So I'd like some feedback on the following questions:

Question 1: One big game with everything, or separate editions?

The main reason I'm asking is that a smaller, separate "Pure Harem Edition", with all controversial content removed, could be offered earlier at a cheaper tier.

That's the "compensation" I could offer for going with this kind of project.
However, an extra edition means some extra work too, so it's only worth it if enough of you actually care for it.

Question 2: To what degree will you give it a chance?

Kinda connected to the above.

Are you willing to look past the existence of the optional content, and give the harem content a chance?
Or will you go "hard pass" no matter what?

And how many of you plan to check out the controversial side?

EDIT: For clarification, "spicier stuff" in the 4th Q2 option is mostly referring to the NTS/soft NTR side of things; basically, the NTS equivalent of the "really looking forward to the harem path" option.

----------------------------------------

Alright, for now that's all.

If the results of this poll end up too depressing for me, maybe I'll just give up and shut down business, can't rule that out entirely tbh 😅

Next project: Concept poll

Please read the project descriptions before voting!
Even if they're kinda long... :)

Alright, so...

I know a lot of you will balk at this, but as those of you who can put 2 and 2 together could probably already guess from previous hints and polls:

The next project will have something from the "neto...." spectrum.
Not the real hard stuff, and yes, it'll be avoidable, but it will be there and I will not leave it out, no matter how many and how much people will complain.

With that out of the way, what I have not decided on yet is the exact project.

After contemplating various options and going in circles a lot, 3 ideas emerged as front-runners.
All have their pros and cons, I have no strong preference for any of them, so I'm letting you pick your poison here, at least.

---------------------------------------

Concept Pitch 1:

A more depraved, more adult spin-off from TM.

Not really a canonical story successor, so not really TM2 in that sense; TM's harem ending remains the "true" canon ending.
This spin-off would be more of a "what if..." branch, set a few years after the TM events.

It assumes that the MC has lately gotten complacent and fooled around a little too much with side LIs outside the mansion, and neglected the maids a little too much.
As a result, the maids got a little upset, and some of them demand that he either focuses more on them again, or gives them a little more "freedom"... otherwise they might start looking for a proper boyfriend/partner elsewhere. Which the MC of course doesn't want (right...?).
It would mostly focus on exhibitionism, free use, both male- and femdom (the latter avoidable), and, well... optional sharing (and possibly swinging).
Basically, a "best of" from TM+GoV in terms of kinks, but with optional sharing on top.

There'd also be 2 modes, a "Safe Mode" and a "Risky Mode".
- "Safe Mode" would be TM-like casual sandbox, where nothing can go wrong and stats can only go up.
You can still share maids in this mode if you absolutely want to, but you can also completely disable that, and forget about its existence.
Also, in this mode there won't be any negative consequences, no matter what you do.
- In "Risky Mode", a maids' stats like happiness/affection, loyalty/obedience, satisfaction etc. slowly decline over time, unless you spend time with them; and you only have limited Action Points per day.
Plus, spending time with side LIs outside the mansion might disappoint some maids.
Sharing (fully optional) is one possible alternative to keep up their satisfaction without spending time with them yourself; but it may also negatively affect obedience, for example.

Basically, I want "Risky Mode" to be a bit more realistic in terms of relationship dynamics, and have actual consequences if you mess up too much. It might even get bad (NTR) endings... but you would not only have to choose the risky mode, but also really have to mess up badly and kinda ask for it... at which point you'd have no right to complain about it anymore :)

---------------------------------------

Concept Pitch 2:

OG Sarah* and this games' (new) MC are tasked by her father to "conquer" a town (in terms of influence), through any (mostly naughty) means necessary.

A mostly linear VN, but with choices and a sandbox "home base", where more activities and characters unlock as the story progresses.
Sarah will be the only "true" main girl, regardless of whether you lewd her or not; but no worries, there'll be enough alternatives if she's not your type.
This game would focus more on Netori (stealing girls from other guys), plus avoidable Netorase or "soft NTR" with Sarah, depending on choices related to her (fyi, she'll get plenty of action with the MC too, unless you intentionally keep her at a distance; and she won't ever get stolen, there's story reasons why you don't have to worry about that).

*The original Sarah from "My Naughty Neighbor" etc. was always meant to be a promiscuous slut; her Garden of Venus worldline incarnation was actually tamed down to fit GoV's harem setting. It is what it is ¯\(ツ)/¯
Basically, her behavior during your mission in this VN will not be optional; you can only avoid hearing any details, or watching any explicit scenes involving other men.
You'll basically get to choose what degree of relationship with her you can tolerate during your mission:
- strictly platonic, mission-focused (if she's too slutty for you)
- just sexfriends (with or without her telling you about her adventures)
- girlfriend (tolerate her adventures, but avoid info; kinda "soft NTR")
- girlfriend (fully embracing her adventures; Netorase/Sharing)

Though no matter what you choose, she'll always tease you to a degree :)

Also, no matter which relationship you choose with her, she'll always fully support your own stealing/harem-building efforts. She at least knows fairness (and she's a cuckquean... and has some optional bi tendencies...).

Anyway, Sarah aside, there'd be a handful of amazing other girls and MILFs to conquer.
And most will be loyal and exclusive to you, once you've claimed them (except maybe 1 more slut, or a few easily avoidable bad ends; no guarantees on that front).

---------------------------------------

Concept Pitch 3:

Free Use Town.
GoV Sarah wants to build up a branch office in a new town, with your help.

Similar to Garden of Venus, except

it plays in a new town with new girls (though definitely fewer than in GoV), except it's the same MC and Sarah as in GoV
more story/dialogue than GoV; still no story monster, but not as shallow as GoV
In that new town, there are actually some other guys, so there'll be "free use" of the spicier variety as well.
You'll have some control over what happens, and you can skip/disable any scenes involving other guys that you couldn't prevent, but this game won't be as innocent/convenient as GoV was.
It won't be dark, mind you; you'll still be the guy who gets most of the action and girls. It'll just be a more realistic and less convenient scenario than in GoV's town.

You can consider this the GoV world alternative to Concept Pitch 2.
Easier to make, but not as interesting story-wise.

--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------

Those are the 3 options.

And yeah, I'm intentionally keeping it simple and am not offering any other poll options that I know you'd prefer, but which I'm not really motivated to do.

FWIW,
If I chose by my own kink preference, the order would be (from fav to least fav)
CP1 (TM spin-off) > CP2 (Sarah game) == CP3 (spicier free use game)

If I chose by my own writing/story preference, the order would be
CP2 (Sarah game) >> CP1 (TM spin-off) >> CP3 (spicier free use game)

If I chose by keeping it easy for myself in terms of workload,
CP3 (spicier free use game) > CP1 (TM spin-off) > CP2 (Sarah game)

...Now you might see why I struggle to decide ^^'

Anyway, I fully understand that to a lot of you, this poll will probably amount to picking the lesser of 3 evils, or picking between 3 equally evil options.
But, I'm sorry, it can't be helped. I need to do one of these to avoid total burn-out, so I just want to know which option you'd find a bit more tolerable (or maybe actually interesting).

If all are a complete, total no-go for you, just don't vote I guess, and hope my next project after this will be more to your liking again.

If the top 2 (or all 3) results are roughly tied, I'll factor in patron/subber weighting.
If it's still roughly a tie after that, I'll probably go with the presumably easier option (the TM spin-off or the "Free Use Town").

If there's anything you'd like clarified before you vote, ask in the comments or shoot me a DM.

Otherwise, happy (or unhappy) voting ^^'

About the future (and a poll)

Alright folks,

with GoV's development ending soon, I owe you some info about the time after, so let's cut right to the chase.
For a number of reasons, I've come to the conclusion that making HHR in its originally planned scope just won't work.

I either have to cut it down to the most important bits, or make something else (like TM2).

I don't know how many posts explaining it I've written and then discarded again over the past couple of weeks. At least a dozen, and they were all walls of text, because there's simply a number of factors that played a role.

But in short, bluntly put, I reluctantly have to accept that my feeble, slow, aging, ADHD(inattentive type)-ridden scatterbrain isn't cut out for making HHR the game I was originally envisioning, at least not in a timeframe that I myself would find acceptable.

I underestimated how much worse my brain has gotten over the past 3 years (and admittedly, it wasn't great before that, either).
Getting old sucks, mild-to-medium chronic burn-out doesn't help.

And you see, with everything going on in the world (plus my health also slowly getting worse), I don't think I have that much time left as game dev.
So taking 5-7 years to make HHR the game it's supposed to be isn't an option for me.
Other devs were luckier in their timing.

On top of that, there's a smaller project I absolutely want to make, and while it's more of side-project nature, I don't want to delay it.
You know, with the world heading where it seems to be heading.
It's just something I want to do before my game dev career might end, so I can't afford to just put it off by 2-3 years or something.

So for my main project, there's 2 options:

1) Scale down the sandbox scope of HHR dramatically, dropping most of the sandbox and even some sidegirls I had originally planned, and make it a mostly linear story VN.
It would still have some repeatable content, but no grind or gameplay in the traditional sandbox game sense.
What I can promise you is that the story would be quite decent... that's the part I'm most confident in, actually.
I just don't know how many of you actually care about story... ^^'
Plus, there's a risk I still wouldn't be able to finish it.

2) Let it go, and make Total Maidness 2 instead.

This would continue the TM1 story and be similar to TM1 in concept, but with more story- and character development focus, and many other improvements (including measures that make it easier for me to develop it at a solid pace), and of course a few cute and hot new maids, while keeping at minimum the most popular ones from TM1.

It just wouldn't be as epic as HHR in terms of story.

Though it would have more synergy with the side project I mentioned, since that is also TM-related. The benefit would be minor, but it's there.

-----------

Option 1 is riskier, but might story-wise also be more rewarding (if we get to the endings).

Option 2 is safer, but might be a little less interesting.

I leave it up to you.

-OCN

P.S.: It's alright to be disappointed, I just want to mention that at least part of the blame is on those politicians and autocrats out there that make me feel like I'm living on borrowed time and have to perform "triage" on the projects I still want to do.

But please, NO political discussions here.
I don't want to deal with that.

Quick news and GoV future content poll

Hey fellas,
this post was supposed to go live earlier, but then a power outage happened...

Anyway, Garden of Venus update 0.7 will launch for Level 2 patrons and above on Sunday and bring the second half - or rather the remaining 60% - of events, after 0.6.5 already brought 2 out of 5 of 0.7's events a bit earlier.
The new events will be the first solo event for Aurélie, the 4th event for Grace, a new sidegirl event (purple-haired gym girl) and some associated sandbox options.

Additionally, GoV 0.6.5 will become public on itch on Sunday as well.
We hope you'll enjoy those updates!

Now about the content poll/questionaire for GoV:
With updates 0.8 and 0.9, we want to make sure each main girl has at least 2 events, even the least popular ones.

But after that, apart from a few things we want to do no matter what, we're open to prioritize the playerbases' preferences a bit more from now on.
So without further ado,

Question 1:
Apart from a 2nd event for each girl with only 1 so far and more content for the most popular main girls (Sarah, Grace, Mia and Aurelie), what would you prefer:
More content for the less popular main girls as well, or stronger focus on adding a higher variety of new sidegirls?

Question 2:
Do you want to see relatively more 'vanilla'/balanced content like currently, or stronger focus on kinks, especially free use, exhibitionism etc.?

Question 3:
Which of these possible sidegirl types sound most interesting to you*?
- hot escorts/prostitutes, both high-class and slutty ones (we need a way to spend money...)
- curvy MILFs
- sexy/cute fictional celebrities

*Note: You're allowed to vote for more than 1, if you wish.
Note 2: How many sidegirls will be added in total, depends in part on Question 1.

Question 4:
What would be your preferred balance of events vs. sandbox?
- More focus on events
- Keep balance like it is now
- More focus on sandbox

For completeness' sake:
Over on the other subscription platform, we also asked how people feel about continuing GoV development in 2026 and beyond.
But since the response was overwhelmingly positive even there, despite being less GoV-focused than this page, we assume the overwhelming majority here would also want us to continue GoV development well beyond this year, so I guess that's case closed on this matter :)

Happy voting!

Edit: Now with actual poll, SubStar logged me out at just the wrong time and ate the poll at the last minute before...
