First of all, the scene was a couple of days late and here is why it is important: I had a grand bughunting safari for a day straight, because some of the morphs on my main VAM install were different from my clean VAM that I test my scenes on before release. I spare you the dramatic details, but the culprit is the VAM performance patch that replaces AssemblyCSharp.dll you can find on Hub. Apparently newer versions don't have this problem, but the one I was using (v10) doesn't load the built in morphs correctly. Please avoid or use only stable versions of the patch, as it will break all scenes morph-wise. I have been told v12 for sure doesn't have this problem.
Second, the poll results! Sure, many love the Bath, but I was happy to find out that my other scenes give it a stiff competition! Even though the absolute minority votes in the polls, still I think I'm not doomed to be the Bath-man and one day I will make something that surely tops it. Regarding Bath, I'm not out of ideas yet, there will be more Bath. And then Banya.
The Tiers and content gains will again change. Since the discord server is alive (or rather, functional) I think it's a good idea to move links to discord again. I didn't want to do it right now, because I wanted everyone to get the fresh scene in time and without trouble (and with changes there is always trouble), but now we have a lot of time to get the things running before minor release (end of month) to make sure everything is smooth.
As for monetization, I think the best course is to keep things as is, I think we are doing okay and everyone is having a good time, and the EA method has to be researched more anyway (the current Hub logistics make me do what I do in EA mode a literal nightmare), so for now aside from discord-based links the only change is that there will be no more Models Tier. I'm sorry to all the folks who used this opportunity to pay only what they were interested in, but Models Tier was not that much cheaper anyway and, most importantly, confused people. I have seen many times people looking for scenes but subbing for Models. And let's be honest, very few are here for my models.
So we're back on track with releases, I think I've earned some time for my IRL stuff before next release, and thank you all friends for your support and kind words about my work!

For sure, I was thinking the same. I like to use voice clips lately but they don't contribute to universality if the scene relies on them too much. There should be a good balance between universal for all models scenes and ones tailored for mine I think.
