Quick New Poll~
🕑 Added 2025-01-10 03:09:50 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
I am just writing a quick poll to gauge interest in the following:
I am moving along pretty well this week but I am desperately trying to get out something by Saturday.
Here is what I have changed from Test ---> up to Saturday 100% for sure
I have added the intro slide card
I have added my outro (it's a bit longer this time but done)
Ran through all checks/edits in general.
Animations will be in. (I usually reject about 50% of the ones I put together but all I pick should be in)
Anais' game basic intro and a short sample scene (just to show a character, it's not super in depth) will be in.
Last sub scene will be in (about 107 renders, sexual content)
What I consider one dom scene but it's really four small branch scenes (depending if Dom Kane accepted Olivia or not/if Chloe or Angelica is chosen to head pod females and even a tiny tweak if Angelica game boss AND Kane secret sub) Not really sexual content but important to me to include -- even my last intended dinner scene is not designed to be super sexual as it's a bunch of VIPs meeting and seeing a few participants, etc. (the harder content shifts to the VIP rooms and a lot of choices after that, etc.)
What is the ONE scene I am worried will not make it by Saturday?
** Dom Kane at the initial start of the dinner scene (I am starting it tomorrow but it's a tough scene because many characters)
---
Based on this, I have two basic ideas:
1) I can release a quick BetaA Version on Saturday which is just missing that one scene but with everything else done. I would release this to the $8 tier and up.
Why I like this option personally: From a selfish standpoint, it allows me to get out the content to more people earlier but at the same time I can get some feedback for the changes from Test-->this version. I can make my desired Saturday deadline to try and get out about 99 percent of everything but still have a chance to make more improvements based on feedback from a larger sample size of people. (Test Version players were awesome but it's simply a smaller set of people of course)
Why I don't like it personally: I'd have to basically create a Final B Version no matter what, and it's never a perfectly good feeling not quite having everything out.
2) I can keep grinding on the last dinner scene and just wait until it's done.
Why I like this option personally: I will be releasing when ready a complete version that I intend as 100% done. I would still be able to get feedback to make changes if necessary to create a tweaked Final Version. Maybe Final Version B.
Why I don't like this option personally: The obvious answer here is I feel like I won't quite finish by Saturday and getting out a version will bleed into next week. I'd like to get out the next tiers down something to play with over the weekend as realistically some people that are busy with work and life might not have time to play during midweek if I release it then, etc.
I'm just working as quickly as I can and hoping for the best, but this is what's on my mind right now as I see the scope of work left for me.
So I'm getting a temperature check -- I may just do what I want anyway (I did take the feedback about the $15 tier Test Version heavily into account in waiting) but I'd like to get a feel from everyone here. If I do get strong voting on Option 2, I am likely to release to the $15 tier this Saturday the normal Test Version to get something out. (I am VERY keen on getting something out to this tier this weekend no matter what)
I hope this explains it well enough, I might be rambling a bit as I'm juggling a lot today!
Back to work!
Love,
Tess

I recently joined this tier but nonetheless I love every bit of this game. But, I'm following you for like 2 yrs now on Discord and I like the way you communicate with the overall updates each week and it shows how committed you about this game at the same time I honestly believe you are burning out with all the things you do. Get some rest, KG fans will always be here no matter how long it takes for you to release it, because they believe it is going worth the wait.

Thank you Tess, your communication with the community is amazing and I cannot wait to run through the game again. I know you will say you are trying to get it out ASAP, but I think we are all good with waiting and you getting to take a breath.

I know, Mistress Tess, and I thank you very much for your great work and for one of the best stories I've ever experienced.

In response to your question I think having more of a test pool to give you feedback would be beneficial to you, so I am all for releasing to the lower tiers or just waiting for the dom wrap up. Good things take time. Don't feel bad about not making it this saturday. Personally I am waiting for the K9 dom wrap up as I am not a submissive player at all.

I appreciate the kind words! I'm very fortunate to have some great people that understand context and have patience with me!

Thank you Frank, I am still trying really hard to get things out ASAP!
Grym Gudinna Games
Thank you for the feedback, I'm still trying to get things out ASAP!
Grym Gudinna Games
Thank you so much but I'm still trying to get it out ASAP :)

I would rather wait and know that you are happy with the game, than for you to rush and put it out and are not be happy with it. You have always worked to put out the best game that you can. You have not failed us yet. Keep up the good work and get it done when you're happy with it. Get some rest and don't burn yourself out. Your fans will still be here when you're done.

I'm sure it's worth waiting for. And general opinion seems to agree. No problem for me waiting for the final version. Which also means less temporary saves ;)
Frank Kuschmann
Now we waited that long already that waiting some days more doesn't really matter. I voted for the second option even though in this case I don't belong to the lucky ones yet which can play it then.
TransKelly89
Same here. I’m also very confident that it’s definitely waiting for. All of her updates are worth waiting for.
TransKelly89
I definitely agree with all of the comments above. I’m more than ok waiting a few days for the final version to be released. And I’d honestly prefer a completed final version being released instead of a part A and then the final version.

Waiting a few days is not a problem in my books :)

You shouldn't feel guilty. You are constantly creating the game, interacting with the community, giving weekly updates, and much more. Myself and I am sure many others don't mind waiting, because we know you will deliver and it will be amazing. So you shouldn't feel guilty cause we know how hard you work.

Thanks for the quick feedback -- its sometimes hard for me to gauge my own feelings of guilt about a timeframe versus what people really want/hope so I hope the poll helps me!

I'm confident that it's worth waiting for <3
