Because of my current issues with life and funding, I've come to a point that I want the opinions of you guys... the awesome people who believe in this project. Currently, if we want to continue with our current release schedule (aiming for Jan 31st), it would mean cutting one of the 5 extra scenarios we were planning to add for our quality of life update. This is because of the models and assets necessary to add Jude to the game. However, that time and funding spent would further delay continuing the actual story. My gut feeling is to cut the scenario and come back to it another time, however, this project is growing beyond me because of the lovely aid of you fine folk. So please lend your voice, and let me know which you'd prefer, extra time taken to complete and fund side scenario for Asami and Jude? Or proceed with the story asap.

Here is my opinion. Beyond the context of the vote, though I did vote to just skip it , something you're gonna have to realize from us VS you is that we can't see how far along or not far along something is we can only see the potential of it, not its realization. Trust your gut, has it not given us the game that you've given us so far? If you're gut, instinct is to cut it and maybe put it in later then I think you should cut it and put it in later. Cause everybody else can only see what could be there, not what's going to be there. In my opinion, it'll help you more if you make this decision yourself rather than letting it go to a vote.

That is just my opinion from one person who designs games to another, They'll always tell you that just take your time, add x in but it's not always the right decision because they want the theoretical best and most perfect version (as in has the most content), which is not necessarily what ends up getting sent out but they believe in the potential of it.

you raise an excellent point. It's really important to balance expectations, what's being shown, and self confidence when it comes to what we produce, and put out into the world. ESPECIALLY when it comes to expectations involving stuff with patreon funding. I'll do my best to balance and ensure things will be kept in line. I would not be too concerned with this specific poll, it was more to gauge with the audience if they're okay with waiting for that time to get what I initially wanted in the game, which is only being cut for budget, both time and money wise. But I swear to follow my original vision in the future and not let this kind of trend continue to affect the final product in a negative way. Thank you for reminding me of that.

I trust your decision making skills as is evident in my support of this game, I believe we are in a golden age in the (giantess/shrink game) community, I would not be surprised if this game is the one we remember going forward, just as we do with Little Snatcher and Shrink High before us. Gauging the community is a fine tactic, but something that might be lost is that you (inadvertently or purposefully) built this community, so trust your gut it led you this far. At the end of the day this is going to be your game take pride or shame or both in it.

Honestly i agree with Snark, you don't really need to make polls like this, because people will always vote for the 1st option. Getting 4 scenarios is already fantastic, i don't think it's worth it to wait longer just for one more.

I also think that the wait is not that necessary considering that we will have 4 new scenarios Having more frequent updates closer to each other is also better in my opinion, it helps keep the game relevant in players' minds And if the cut content is eventually revisited, then I don't see much reason to wait even longer for a new update.
