Next Project? (Patreon)
Content
As I near the end of the current arch of Magical Mishaps, It's important to start thinking of a project to jump into right after Chapter 5 is done. Here are some brief ideas I had that I'd like to gauge your interest in. Ultimately, I'm going to do what I think will be best but I will take these polls into account. If you have any ideas that aren’t covered by these options, leave a comment, and I might add them to a future poll if I like it.
Sequel to Magical Mishaps:
-All the same characters and setting in a new story, taking place after the first game (potentially time skipped to another year).
-Pros: More of the same. Long-form storytelling.
-Cons: having many characters leave less time to focus on individuals due to the necessity of moving the plot forward.
Six epilogue mini-chapters (one for each girl):
-Dating sim-styled epilogue chapters. Similar to the dorm scenes of chapter 2, each girl gets more personal time with you in post-credits adventures.
-Pros: More casual "dating sim" style game. Low danger. More time to get personal and flesh out characters
-Cons: When I work on less popular character stories, fewer people will be interested in supporting the project.
Magical Mishaps enhanced:
-(This one needs a brainstorming session all to itself)
-Short stories that wrap up quickly that cover miscellaneous scenarios not included in the main game (about the size of 1 or 2 chapters max). This will include "what if" scenarios, events of the game following the perspective of another character, and events that wouldn't have made sense in the main game.
-Pros: Shorter and more digestible content. Exploring popular concepts that never appeared in-game but wouldn't justify a long story.
-Cons: Can feel pointless to add to a complete story instead of building towards something substantive
