Poll - New Girls (Patreon)

 Hi guys,

So after a little tinkering I’ve settled on the final versions for the new models I previewed earlier and it’s time to vote on them. I’ve updated my previous post with the latest version of the new models and I added some extra shots with them in school uniforms (unfortuantely I can’t put an image gallery and poll in the same post). 

Please choose your favorite three girls. Patreon doesn’t have a setting for this so I’m just going to have to ask people to adhere to this rule. 

With these girls I wanted to add a little diversity to cast in terms of size, shape and skin tone etc and I appreciate that not all of them will be to everyone’s taste. However, please bear in mind that all the girls are entirely optional. Plus if they don’t score well you won’t see much of them. So please respect other people's preferences and no hating on any of the girls. If you don’t like them just don’t vote for them.

A few people have complained that I shouldn't be adding any new girls and I should only be focusing entirely on the existing ones. I understand this concern and I have a number of responses to this which require me to explain my long term thinking a little.

Firstly, I have no intention of introducing these characters immediately and they will have no impact on my short term plans for the game. The next couple of updates will be all about the punishment system and the existing girls with an upcoming focus on the previous poll winners the twins, Amy and Rachel. Many of the current minor characters (including Alice, Liz, Faye, Nina, Harriet, Charlotte etc) also have stuff written that you will see before any of these girls make more than a passing appearance. These things take time to implement and if I’m going to keep things fresh in the long term I need to plan ahead.

Secondly, when I designed the game my original aim was to have two classes of 12 girls each so 24 students (rather than the 16 we have now). You may have noticed that there are a lot of unnamed girls dotted around (in the class, shower room, nurse office etc) these are generally low quality and need replacing. The plan was never to have all of these students as major characters but to have just enough to make the school feel populated. 

Thirdly, there are a couple of important characters needed that are essential to the story. Most importantly a new bad girl / student antagonist now that Debbie is our Prefect. Her arrival will shake up the whole school dynamic and introduce some new challenges to the game. Several of the girls here could fit the bill for the character I have in mind and the highest scoring of those girls will likely get that role (I reserve the right to pick which one but the poll will help me decide). If everything goes to plan they will first appear in version 0.7 / 0.8.

The other new girls will be extras or minor characters to begin with (depending on how well they do in this poll) who will hopefully add some much needed diversity to the school. They will also enter the general pool of girls which patrons can vote on in future polls. If they are significantly more popular than any of the existing girls (some of whom have never been particularly popular) then they will jump ahead in the queue and get more content earlier. 

I hope that explains my thinking sufficiently and helps assuage concerns that I plan to flood the game with girls without fleshing out the current ones. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have already opted not to take the route of some developers by allowing people to pay to design new characters. I am staying true to my original plans for the game which are insanely ambitious, always have been and always will be.
