Progress Report / Survey
🕑 Added 2021-08-10 13:13:35 +0000 UTC
Howdy! Here’s what’s up:
We implemented the winners of our polls to the game and now both me and Moana are busy with the final event for the next update (boobjob).
In this post I’ll primarily talk about “breasts” and I’m curious to know what sizes are popular, so there is a small survey at the end.
Above you can see the winners of our last three polls - nose ring, hips and “fake” breasts.
Nose Ring - Option “V3” won with 108 votes (option “V5” had 100 votes).
Fake breasts - Option 1 won with 137 votes (option 4 had 76 votes)
Hips - Option 2 won and is far ahead of its competition.
P.S: There’s a small announcement in regards to the “fake” size at the end of this post.
After reading your feedback under our last “fake breasts” poll, I’d like to talk about “technical debt”:
It’s no secret that our game wasn’t intended to be like this from the beginning, we initially didn’t plan to include this amount of customization in it - it kind of happened over the course of multiple updates.
Which means that we have “technical debt” - text that needs to be updated, events that need to be layered, NPC art that needs to be redrawn.
To make sure that our “technical debt” won’t grow any further, we’re now implementing this character art overhaul for Kira. Including body-mods that won’t be accessible for a long time.
Now, knowing what sizes of breasts Kira will have and how they look - I am finally able to draw “full” events, with all artwork being present in advance.
As for the “technical debt” we already have, I’ve been slowly preparing to deal with it, and now I just have to finish drawing 5 remaining breast sizes for older events. This way, when we will implement new body mods - we won’t have to redo every single event in our game.
Our current plan is to upgrade older events along with new content, one older event per update, right after we finish the “Farm” part of Vivarium.
We’re proud of the amount of variability Defenestration has to offer, I can’t even imagine our game without “Dumb” Kira or breast expansion events. But, because of the same variability, it’s pretty hard and time consuming to implement anything new.
However, just like I passively became better at drawing and Moana at coding, I’m sure we’ll adjust and become faster at working with this amount of variability. Especially now when we have all shapes and sizes set in stone.
With all that in mind, here's what I’ve been thinking in regards to “fake” breasts.
Yes, maybe we’ll add it, and here’s what I mean by “maybe”:
Originally, the game was planned to only have “natural” breast sizes and I’ve added one “fake” size to our roster, due to it being requested a couple of times. But, now that I can see that there is a demand for it, I might be able to do something about it.
First of all, adding new breasts to Kira’s character art is a lot of work, since we have plenty of outfits and some poses to adjust in order for them to work. But, it’s a “one time” thing.
So, once again, the real issue is events.
I have sizes 1, 3 and 5 ready for pretty much all our events (not implemented everywhere, but drawn), and I’ve yet to finish drawing three more sizes - 7,9 and Fake for older events.
In the near future, I’ll have to draw every single event with 6 different sizes which is a lot. Especially since, more often than not, the difference in the size of Kira’s breasts means that I also have to draw different hands, writings, piercings, fluids etc.
However, since I’m going to revisit my old art, I will draw “Fake 2” breasts in a couple of events and time myself.
Given that “Fake 2” size has the same shape as the “Fake 1”, it might not be that time consuming to add it. But I still have to test it.
That is why, maybe we’ll add it. First, I have to test it out and see how much of my time it will eat.
I hope this post manages to convey what we’re thinking and I hope you understand why I’m hesitant to include “Fake 2” to our game. But I do hear you and I will test out how difficult this addition might be.
Current event that I’m working on (boobjob) seems perfect for this test, but each event is a different case, so I’ll have to test it in multiple places. In any case, I will share our final decision in the upcoming weeks.
On top of that, I still remember a time when our game had only 4 events and most of them were about “brainwashing”. Back then, not surprisingly, every “event” poll we conducted resulted in more “brainwashing” events winning - because that was our audience at a time.
Because of that experience, I think that once our game will have “fake” and “giant” breast sizes, we will attract more people interested in them.
Since this post turned out to be so heavily focused on “breasts”, I’d like to conduct a little survey:
With what breast size do you plan on playing? (If "Fake 2" will be implemented)
That’s all I wanted to ask today, thank you all for your feedback, patience and support! The end is near!

5. and Fake 2.
gault57
Fake1 as usually...

I like giant “real” breasts conceptually, but between the low-hanging huge breasts and the higher fake breasts, I prefer the fake. Not when naked, of course, when the levitating fake breasts look hard and uncomfortable, but when dressed, I would expect to have support holding breasts up higher, and the “fake” shape works much better for that.
Chara_Alter
No thank you for making a hentai game that's both appealing and Multiple run playablity. ; )
Fresh Mulan
Of course, but I messed up in my post - all sizes, except “Fake 2”, will be in the game, it’s already done. This poll is just a survey, I was curious and I also need to pick Kira’s default size in her future flashback scenes.
Chara_Alter
So I just upgraded to the 50$ membership, could I ask for my special request if "Breasts Size 9" Could be Included in the game plz?
Fresh Mulan
Worry not - Nothing will be forced and everything will be optional, as per usual.

(7),8,9 and fake 2 in my eyes look to much of a comic relief even in this tounge in cheek game .... sure if the votes are "forcing" the developer to produce this content then it is what the majority of supporters want but i hope this stuff is not glued to the main gameplay path and only an additional choice "if you want to be not just a bimbo but a laughi... way different female(?) object" that player can -choose- to do so

I just want Kira with major breasts. I know breasts that size are fringe, but this game itself is fringe. The breasts sizes already selected are kind of a dime a dozen in other games, what I like about this game is how different it is compared to other tf games. I said my piece and won't push further.
Colt361
Not sure if this is allowed but does anyone who wants to vote for big breasts like 9 or fake two want to discuss changing their vote to one of those? Maybe even fake one since that is better than 5 in my opinion. People have the right to vote for what they like, but come on five feels like what we have had before and it seems like it is going to win.
Colt361
Fake 2 or 9 pls I would love to see Kira with major breasts, I feel like the others are only slight variations on what has already been made
Dr. Madness MNA
I guess what breast size I want to play as depends on what I intend to do with each playthrough, whether I intend to make a dumb cow Kira or smart slut Kira...
Chara_Alter
9 Plz! I don't care about Kira's back, Just want some Massive breasts that Scream," I WAS TURNED INTO A COW!"
Taffi
Fake 2 pleeease!
Dianaranda
Fake 1 or 3 for me, i want my Kira to not look To over the top.
Javegar453
I'm split between 9 and fake 2, I could see an event in the farm using the 9 size breasts as fuckable nipples
tom berndt
for real just dont give us to much less is often more and if you lissen to all tink player wane have you will be never done. ps love to see the new uppdates
tom berndt
progress uppdate in 1j hody guys now let see what kind of feet size you like i hope you can wait for updates i just have to darw 20 boobs sizes 20 feet (mabe 2k f to ) and 100 new tatoos.
H.E. Pennypacker
Very thoughtful and reasonable response, and I'm not just saying that because I really want Fake 2 to make it in lol. They all look great too, could we possibly get a version with Kira at her full-res glory? I put the rest of my thoughts on the poll in the comments above.
H.E. Pennypacker
I think you probably got it right in regards to Fake 1 vs 2, I wonder if there was a "I don't like/plan to use any" option that poll would have gotten a way different result. I'm actually a little surprised with this poll as 9 and Fake 2 are tied for 3rd place atm, and I will probably use both those sizes too lol.
Zela
3/5/F1. Voted 3.
9 or fake 2 for me, bigger is almost always better for me.
Torisen
5 or fake 1
james dorough
Yeah need to be able to choose more than one
Valornim
Too bad not being able to choose several sizes. So I put the 2 but the 3 could be played in a pinch. But the other big sizes would hurt my back too much in my chair to play them.
Illien
5 or Fake 1, depending if I feel bimbo or slut
Lola Dean
I myself am very split between 5, 6, and 7. Nudged towards 5 weirdly cause it's the most I think I could deal with irl. Love hearing about the progress and the thinking around it keep up the good stuff Mulan and Moana. <3
marty moth
I really like 6 or fake 1 as they are basically the same breast size but 6 is hanging low and fake 1 is more firm , the other sizes are fun but i think ruin the rest of the look for the main character the bigger you go the les you see of the avatar .
EngelsPringles
I think it will be interesting to see how this poll turns out. My favorite in terms of looks is 6, but I voted for 7 because I would rather have that show in events over 5. It just depends on whether the events round up or down in size. I pretty much figured that Fake2 would do very well in this poll because as Fake1 might be more popular overall with the players (I voted for it in the last poll), the people that wanted Fake2 most likely intend on using it, whereas I don't have plans on using Fake1; I just liked it more so I voted for it. As of now, Size 8 has 0 votes. I don't know how the poll will turn out in the end, but depending on how popular (or unpopular) they turn out to be, maybe there could be grounds to just drop the size entirely? That being said it probably would not be very viable for Mulan, because as you said the issue is with drawing for events so dropping a non-event showing size for one that does show will still probably be too much work. Anyway, the updates over the past few weeks have been excellent and the art looks great. Awesome job Mulan and Moana.
fake2 would be primary choice with 7 being backup
DtD
7 or fake 2
