Poll Results & Early V0.4.0 Plans (Patreon)

The poll on the potential art replacement has concluded, and after combining the votes across platforms, the art replacement being done in V0.4.0 has won at 61%. Until V0.4.0, development will continue as normal with koikatsu, and I will complete the elven routes before I begin V0.4.0. I will also leave the koikatsu version of the game available for people to download after V0.4.0 and the future updates with the new art. Until then, I will continue to listen to feedback on the art, and make what improvements I can before V0.4.0's development begins as I finish the elven routes.

Aside from that, there will be a few other things to prepare for V0.4.0's development while the elven routes are being completed. There will be a poll out soon to decide how animations should be treated with the new art. I won't completely cut animations, but according to the previous survey, most people are interested in limiting animations to the more important scenes such as level progressions, full corruptions, story scenes, and fully corrupted repeatable scenes, and cutting animations for the less important scenes. More details will be included in the poll itself later.

Another thing that will be out later today is another survey, this time on Misaki's route and accompanying main story content. This survey will be intended for me to get feedback on that content since the fist update in the V0.4.0 series of updates will focus on reworking that content. I'll use the feedback to improve the writing of that content, and learn what people want to see in her scenes and talk sprites with the reworked art, along with a few other little things related to it. After V0.4.0 has been in development for a while, I'll put out similar surveys for Yukako and Rina.

Finally, since V0.4.0 will also include the combat rework, I'll be opening up volunteer positions for beta testers to test the reworked combat sections of the V0.4.0 updates so that I can get proper feedback on the new combat before the full release, so that the new combat will be as good as I can make it. I'll accept up to 8 volunteers. If you want to volunteer, I'll be making a post in the discord server for people to reply to, and volunteer. I will be prioritizing members who have been active in providing feedback and participating in discussions in the past when selecting volunteers. Beta testing won't begin until after V0.4.0's development has started, but there will still be discussions with the volunteers on the combat rework until then.
