Open-ended survey results
🕑 Added 2021-02-14 23:33:24 +0000 UTCby Sashka
Having finished reading 3300+ feedback responses the survey is now closed, thank all 1013 of you who responded. The information gathered + quantity of responses means we will certainly run more surveys in the future, though no immediate ETA on when the next one will be.
To start off, many comments/requests/feedbacks would be answered by summarizing the near-term plans:
0.7.11 is Psychiatrist/therapist focused, as well as a smattering of world "random events." Writing/coding is complete and it has been released to patrons on discord and will be in official patron pre-release soon, then full public release once the art is finished.
0.7.12 add the "Bodyshop" to the game, this will include SRS as well as penis enlargement and dual-genitalia for those interested. Coding/writing has been completed and it is in private testing.
0.7.13 will be voted on by patrons
The game overall is intended to be built across 5 "stages" of your work progression (with a significant in-character event marking the transition/escalation in your responsibilities):
Stage 1:
Introduction is the prologue up until you get locked into chastity
Stage 2:
Probation is from the end of stage 1 up until you become a "full" Secretary
Stage 3:
Secretary is where the game is currently, all "core" content for such is complete and the transition from stage 3->4 is ready to go (it appeared in, but lost in the most recent polls)
Stage 4:
Much of it has been written and is waiting for selection for release, it will heavily center finding out more about what is going on at the company and the MC taking action based on that knowledge
stage 5:
It has been outlined and will be written while the overall release version moves forward, it will be the "endgame" leading up to plot resolution/the story's final endings
Some content requests that came up frequently that have already been written/are just waiting to be selected for merge:
More art on all counts (outfits, characters, scenes, and replacements for removed videos) is something we are trying to do, but it remains difficult to find the resources to go "past" what is required for releases.
Prostitution beyond the gloryhole has been written (just under 40k words written, over 100 passages) and is ready to go in as soon it is chosen by patrons
home VR therapy is planned
Gym content for skills 15-20, including a "Miss Hard Pump" contest to prove your mastery of strength/stamina/dexterity, as well as a Tournament for martial arts is written - 20k words, over 80 passages
class with Ms. Watergate is planned and written stage 4 content 35k words, almost 90 passages; further note that your fellow "classmates" will be your fellow co-workers, so more fun with them
Camming/streaming content is planned, but is on the side-lines at the moment in favour of more "core" content
The long-hinted at "Fetish Club" is the current writing focus and is already over 10k words/60 passages with quite a bit more sketched out to be filled in.
Each of Alex/Bob/Kurt/AIKO will see at least one "focused" release centered on their relationship, AIKO and Alex have been partially written, Kurt has a detailed outline waiting to be fleshed out and Bob has a general plan + a couple scenes written. Once each of these is far enough along they will be added to the "the mix" as voting options for future releases.
Other common requests, with our response:
A more "forced"/brat style is a very common request, this would require substantial re-work of the early game. It's a strong possibility, but the current focus remains on moving the game forward/towards its ending, so no promises.
Similarly (but even more complicated to implement) would be an even more "willing"/trans-from-the-start progression. This, too, is something we'd like to do, but it represents a substantial refactor of many game interactions, again, no promises/ETA.
Gender-based toggles (eg: remove interactions w/men, or w/women): This would require massive changes in text, arc and art; it is not currently planned, but if there are specific scenes that feel like they should be "optional" yet are not they can be reported and we will look at/possibly refactor.
VR therapy having more wide-reaching effects on the game:
Your ex: the ex has an additional part to play, and there are several more scenes involving her already written and awaiting the proper future release. Note that her intended role has always been as something of a subversion of certain genre clichés, so while she will re-appear, she is not planned to take on the level of importance of the "primary" characters (Alex/Bob/Trapper/Antlers/Kurt/AIKO)
ABDL: This is not currently on our plan/roadmap.
Getting a roommate: This represents some enormous game complexities in terms of code and structure, and is not planned outside of an epilogue (the exception being that getting a pet dog or cat is planned and will happen sometime in the future). Similarly, moving in with someone else would be epilogue only.
Other small coming content notes:
VR therapy is intended to be generally "optional," but the game is still in progress and some stat ranges are only presently obtainable through that content. We do plan to fill in the "real world" options so that it would be possible to progress in multiple ways.
Convincing your manager to allow other keyholders is a stage 4 mechanic
Getting "collared" is a stage 4 mechanic
And finally, some concrete news, per feedback we've picked out a handful of small requests that will be incorporated into 0.7.12:
- High smarts will give you hints re: drugs, and lunch delivery
- Martial arts will grant more xp/session to compensate for its limited availability
- Gym will auto-unlock if player triggers "Evil Bob" to prevent things breaking
- Option to go straight home from work rather than elevator -> lobby -> city ->home
- Option to talk to antlers about your therapy
Some other requested smaller items that have been noted/will get worked in somewhere:
- Option to request mk2
- Rewards for non-succubus campaign playthroughs (a bottleneck here has, frankly, been lack of inspiration/ideas)
- An option to unlock the gym if the player has triggered evil bob
- non-sex Swolebro option

Glad there will be more surveys! I was happy to be able to share my thoughts on the game. I feel awkward just throwing my thoughts at devs in discord or wherever, glad there's a more organized place to put them.

Personally you could also count Aiko as a "kind" of roommate depending on how she is written

I think it's a mistake to conflate acting bratty and being forced to undergo transformations. One is acting out to receive attention and the other is having things done to you without your consent. At the very least in terms of forced content I would like the player put in positions where femininization is something they are dead set against but the alternative option is destitution, imprisonment, etc.

The MC already has a roommate. Why are you looking at me like that? Chuck counts as a roommate. : D
