Hi all, I'm going to start monthly polls (though I might do them more frequently if this starts to get larger) to get a feel for what everyone is interested in. I'll start with something relatively minor and we'll work our way up as the game progresses. I imagine poll questions will eventually help influence which lewd scenes will come out first (ie. cowgirl vs missionary), but since we're not even at Chapter 4/30, I'll keep it minor.

Which route are you most interested in? I'm curious what the current mood is, and it'll help me a lot to know what sort of content I should expect there to be demand for.

Are you considering an in-between route? That is, a 'choice' route that perhaps involves betrayal -- for good and bad reasons -- and the decision to love another? It could be wrenching, for the MC, Maria and others -- but compelling.

Raife

Let me be clear... I'm interested in all of these stories, with Maria-only as a priority... but I hope you consider a third option. That would rely heavily on making the alternatives to Maria seem extremely compelling in their own, different ways.

Ricardo Sousa

I agree with Raife there. It would be nice to have a third option, some kind of mix of these 2.

I am a greedy man. So harem! But, hope it will be wholesome. I dont want our main girl to be sad. Only happines for our beauty

Pino

Maria only route, there are enough harem games though i would like to see them explore there sexual relationship and definately not rule out a threesome or more but let Maria take the lead in exploring that option and make her warm the MC up for it in an original way. Since it's already a struggle for them to be together due to the strict religious background you created you need to keep that in mind. It's already hard for them to do what they are doing since it is already outside the norm. Taking it to far to soon will break the mood of the backstory of the world and views they both grew up in. Unless you are going to throw in corrupting magic or whatever it should be a natural progress because of what they learn throughout their travels and how wrong the scriptures are. I know that already sounds cliche, but you kindoff set the tone for something like that. Just try your best to not take it over the top :-) We all have our fetishes off course but the way you set it all up sofar just screams you have to keep this a story with respect between them and not spiral down into debauchery.

JimWraith

Pino has some very fair points to consider. While this is an AVN, write the story you want to write.

JimWraith

While I personally tend to tilt towards Harem style games, I like this idea a lot better and Maria is pretty solidly set as a primary by the narration so far. While we all know this is an AVN, you should write the story you want to write.

I voted last night and woke up this morning feeling the need to justify the Maria only route, but seems Pino said everything that I wanted to say. This game has its uniqueness (in a good way) it would be a shame to follow the crowd and let it become yet another harem story. I'm sure your artwork would be great but in my opinion would ruin the story started so far

Raife

I agree with this sentiment: write the stories you want to write. Don't be too guided by our sentiment... but if you're mulling ideas already in line with what we've mentioned, go ahead!

Raife

I don't like harem games, either. I'm open to a harem option if it fits the Dev's vision... but I'd prefer Maria-only or Maria vs. other love interests choice. Choice and a sense of jeopardy/responsibility gives the player a greater feeling of agency and risk. If you can get all the girls... where's the risk/drama?

Supernova Inc

What intrigued me when I first played the game was the uniqueness of the relationship dynamic of MC and Maria. The pace, the setting, the waiting, and the hearing, let's say, of one another. So far the story leads me to see a maria only route. Yet I am not and wouldn't be against some harem route, at least if it makes sense with the progress as the game is having so far. Overall, I'm totally fine with what makes sense to you in the story you're telling us (and might I say, way to go, so far :clap :clap).

PandamanGames

Fascinating results, I expected more support for Maria-only route...Guess I need to make you all love Maria even more. :D

Jerry

Hey, just joined the team, and I can tell you I don't understand the result of this poll! You rendered such a loveable Maria... She's incredible. I don't get how anyone would want something else in this setup. Even role-playing the MC should be enough to convince you she's the one... I don't even see how a harem could work here and I fear this male irrealistic fantasy could hinder your superb writing... At the end of the day, polls are good, but I think a storyteller should never let it more than a fun thing to have with their community, not impact heavily the idea of what they want to tell.

Endanger

I enjoy harem games a lot but I honestly love a good romantic story between a man and a woman the most. Especially like this one where the two where close friends who loved each other from the start but torn from one another by tragedy and once again reunited. Your game was tagged and kind of advertised as a harem game from the first released which is probably pulling a lot of hard-core harem fans who will vote harem focus over one girl routes everything no matter how great she is. I just hope that when you do start splitting harem paths that the focus is still Maria, whether Maria only or harem paths. She is the mc's best friend and should stay the focus in either setting I think. She is an absolute cutie.
