YL2 - Surprise poll! (Patreon)

Hey guys, hope you're having a good start of the week!

As you all know, right now we're developing the character creation systems of YL2. While the character creator will continue to occupy our time for the foreseeable future, we are starting to think forward about the next step in our development.

When we first started working on YL2, we didn't really think about changing the formula too much, but rather just improve and expand on it. We wanted to offer you more ways to express your fantasies in a more dynamic and detailed fashion and with less hassle, in addition to just improving the experience in general.

However, a reoccurring request has been to increase the amount of interactivity in the app. Some of the suggestions have been in stark contrast to what Yiffalicious was, and to what we [originally] planned YL2 to be.

Below are two options. Read them carefully, and let us know which way you lean. Also, please expand on your opinion by writing a comment so we can get a better understanding of what exactly it is you'd like to see.

Expressiveness path

This was our original plan.

In this path, you will have complete control in creating interactions progressing in the way you want. Not only would you be able to pose characters and control their actions, but you'd also be able to change these poses and actions over the duration of the interaction. Furthermore, dialogs and possibly* even different dialog paths [programmable dialogs] would be a thing, eventually, meaning you could create your own stories and context for the scenes. Expressions and reactions of the characters would be fully tweakable as well. In this path, you wouldn't even need to include any sex if you didn't want to. It could simply be a story (think comic slides).

* Not a promise.

Interactivity path

In this path, the app would require less work on your part, and instead automatically fill in the blanks itself. You'd still place characters in the desired ways, but then the app would control expressions, actions and reactions based on immediate input from the user. This would however not work with custom animation, and possibly would remove that opportunity altogether as interactive systems are very time consuming and complex to implement. But it does mean you could play around with the characters in the virtual world and directly see their reactions to that input.

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

It is possible these two paths could potentially merge into a third one, but such a path would be completely uncharted and filled with obstacles. Still, it could be possible (write your ideas in the comments!).

NOTE! This is by no means a promise we will pursue the most voted option. We simply want to gauge what it is you would like to see, so when we get to work on the interaction systems, this poll and your suggestions will affect our decisions and thinking, consciously as well as sub-consciously.

So with all that said, where do you stand?
