[Closed] Next Gameplay Feature - Poll #2

Thank you to everyone who voted in the initial poll. When results were combined across all platforms, Tiffany's Day 3+ Outfit (Option #2) won with 61% of the vote.

I will still of course be adding Combat Sex Moves for Zombies (Option #1) to the game at some point in the future, just not in any of the upcoming builds.

Speaking of upcoming builds, the purpose of this follow up poll is to decide specifically when I should add Tiffany's Day 3 Outfit to the game.

There are many image variations that need to be created. It will likely take around 1 month of work.

Not every variation needs to be rendered from scratch, as some can be stitched together in post from partial renders. (For example: dialogue idles need the 4 outfit pieces rendered for each of the 3 Day 3 bodies = 12 total renders. Stitched together with existing facial expressions from the naked body renders to create the total 60 image variations needed for dialogues) So this speeds things up somewhat.

For the vast, vast majority of variations, I have the existing DAZ Studio & Photoshop files that I created when making the naked body versions that exist in the current build. Only a tiny handful of assets will need to be recreated form scratch - so the work will be quicker than normal - per render. It's just the sheer volume of variations needed that makes this process time consuming overall.

Aside from just new render variations, I will also need to begin ACT 1 - making the Casino floors playable again (& fully clearable of zombies), as Tiffany descends from the Rooftop back to the Ground Floor where she will acquire her "new" outfit.

Originally, I had planned to add Tiffany's Day3+ outfit in v0.11. However, I have decided the last thing I want after finally releasing this long awaited Beta #5 build, is to immediately have development slow to a crawl again for the v0.10 Full Release or v0.11.

Once I'm ready to restart the story, I don't want to have to immediately pause it for an addition like this that doesn't advance the plot.

So I'm currently torn between the following 2 options that I will let supporters decide between:

Option A: Delay Beta #5 to include outfit

Delay the upcoming Beta #5 to include the outfit. This is my preferred option, because I want the release of Beta #5 to be quickly followed by the v0.10 Full Release & the first v0.11 build. Not another v0.10 Beta build that halts momentum/excitement.

Earlier in the year I would have leaned towards more builds vs fewer, but now that it's been this long since Beta #4, I am more concerned about the development time of future builds than this one which I've already compromised.

Adding the outfit + the very beginning of ACT 1 will also make the wait for this build feel more worthwhile than it's currently slated to be.

Option B: Create Beta #6 to include outfit

Alternatively, after Beta #5 is released, I will create an additional build, Beta #6, specifically to focus on including the outfit. Beta #6 will then be the final v0.10 build, before the v0.10 Full Release.

I would prefer that this upcoming Beta #5, is the final v0.10 Beta build. But I understand if supporters would rather get a new release sooner rather than later.

So please vote in the poll attached to this post & to let me know what you'd prefer.

It's ultimately the same end result, just a decision of whether to include this outfit in the upcoming build, or break it off into it's own separate build.

I've also previewed a new render of the Tiffany & Vanessa scene for the Special Forces tier members. Next week, I will share another render from that scene that Survivors tier members can also view.

Thank you for your votes & support.
