Assets Of The Sea - Poll and Introduction

  • Format - Try a different format entirely, while still telling the AOTS story! 10
  • Length of Narrative - Each story chapter in BONR was too short. You need more character dialogue and story before time passes. 39

Assets Of The Sea won this poll: https://www.patreon.com/posts/debugging-week-143899944, I'll be jumping right into AOTS next!! AOTS is "A romance story about big girls getting bigger, competing for love aboard a billionaire's private cruise ship."

This game has a lot of story progress done already from cowriting with NEKOLOKO, but I haven't settled on a format yet. I have some more details and discussion on planning a more rapid release cycle on Discord, so jump over to there if you want more background or introduction to the next game. If you're not on Discord, DM me and I can send you the information there if you're interested.

With the format uncertainty in mind, I have thought a lot about my games... I've written pure visual novels, tacked minigames on top of some, and even added a romance system in BONR. They're all fun to make, but I'm curious what you like, since I want to improve my games every release. There's multiple different sections in this poll on both format and length, please vote for multiple options to help guide development.

It seems that people like the long story with things tied to a relationship system. Luckily Aots seems perfect for that.
