Who's that custom character? New poll is now open!
🕑 Added 2022-07-01 17:57:06 +0000 UTCI'm officially starting a custom character poll again!!!
What this means is that patrons of Heroic Darling tier and above are able to submit character ideas and their ero scenes to me, and I will aggregate all of those ideas in a poll. When all of those entries are ready, everyone will then be able to cast their votes on their favorite ones (multiple-choice).
At the end of the month, the poll will be closed and the top 3 most voted enemy characters (after calculating the correct voting power) will then become new enemies in the game for Maya to face against.
Rules:
1) Supporters of the appropriate tiers, please send me a direct message here on patreon (click on my avatar, send DM) with your submission for the poll.
2) This is a poll to design a basic enemy (so not for a boss with complex behaviors/mechanics). You will need to conceptualize its visual design and characteristic, as well as the erotic scene that it will engage with Maya. Please think of the current basic enemies already in the game and it should be something like them, so please nothing too big or complex.
3) Both the main visual design of your character and its ero scene must be whitin the scope/limitations of my own work when it comes to fetishes, and they also need to be whitin what is acceptable by patreon's community guidelines.
4) The current tags that I work with are: Male Vanilla Sex, Female Lesbian, Footjob Feet Fetish, Futanari, Tentacle Aliens, Demi-human (beast-like), Monsters Creature Plants Insect, Mild Ryona Bondage, Soft Vore Absorption, Transformation. If you have any doubts whether or not your particular idea will fit, please feel free to message me and I can go into more details and we can work it out from there.
5) After we go back and forth refining your submission (and if it is approved) then it will be inserted into the poll as a competing entry. This submission period starting from today will last about 10-15 days, at which point no more submissions will be accepted and then the poll will be created and posted here on patreon for everyone to vote on the entries. So please expect the poll to appear here around middle of this month.

Some of the best enemies currently in the game were in fact created in this manner, and it is always a pleasure to see a lot of interesting and appealing ideas being put forth every time. As well as seeing the voting battle happen in real time as more and more supporters vote on their preferred ideas.
When I initially designed MKM, my dream at the time was to have constant monthly polls like these because I really enjoy working in this type of collaborative environment. But sadly, the harsh reality of game development hit me and soon enough it became quite difficult to manage handling all of the polls on top of the usual work. Furthermore, having to create an extra character each month added too much pressure on an already tight schedule which resulted in a back-log of characters to be made, because I work alone and wasn't able to handle all of that workload on top of an already grindy game development process.
So after 13 monthly polls in a row, I came forward to you my supporters at the time back then and said that I would be holding off on the polls indefinitely until I managed to clear the backlog of custom characters. Well that just so happened to be with the "dog-boy" enemy not long ago as the last character to win a poll, and now with the big witch update also out of the way I will bring another custom poll this time around.
But as I'm always upfront and honest about all of my decisions, please let me be clear: polls will continue to be sporadic and infrequent.
While my desire to create polls remains unchanged, the reality is that I'm now aware of the difficulties in time management regarding game dev and I'll have to remain realistic as a solo dev. So please keep that in mind when deciding on your tier of support if you wish to take advantage of the rewards regarding voting power and submissions, for months where I'm able to create polls and for the rest of the months when I cannot.
Speaking of tiers, there is a now a new tier called "Mystic Knight". You see, for me having only 3 basic tiers was enough specially because I'm an amateur game dev and can't really offer much in terms of bigger rewards, so having the 3 tiers and offering the advantages in polls always felt well enough.
But a couple of patrons have always directly told me that they would like to support me beyond the current tiers. While I greatly appreciated their sentiment, I honestly didn't see the need for more tiers, but since I'm making a new poll I figured I might as well go ahead and make another one anyway. Please note: no pressure here, this is only for those few who are able to and have the desire to do so (please be always mindful of your own well being and financial situation first and foremost, before anything else okay?).
Anyways this is all for now. I will await your submissions, and as always feel free to get in contact with me and I can answer your questions and clear any doubts, and we can better work out whatever details from there.
Best Regards,
Mega

It's alright. My brain finally clicked back onto something that's more "normal" to suggest instead. Something I've honestly been much more into than either of those, but somehow completely forgot about until you reminded me about this post. Actually, two somethings... Jeeze I'm going to have to get the next tier up just so I can actually submit both ideas!
Mega Blue Ball
Hmm... without reading more specific details, well it all depends. Hit me up in the direct messages with more detailed descriptions of the types of characters that you have in mind (if you have any image references it helps), as well as elaborating on what exactly is the specific ero interactions. With that better information I can tell you what is eligible or not.

Oof, honestly just don't know what I want to suggest. The things I've been most into recently are weirder or more extreme. Tell me, are you alright with, say, Inanimate Objects as preds, or some slightly body-horror esque creatures? Like, horny Resident Evil?
Marxis
I'm happy, cause my idea as find it's way to the poll ! Best of luck to all project ideas, Boys !
Inharion Sombra
Well, I already told the artist a possible idea of a character that he would love to play with our protagonist, I hope he can be in the poll and if he is, I also hope he likes it a lot. I want to add that as soon as I can I will increase my support for the project, because I really love what you do Mega Blue Ball

If it's all the same, I'll leave my last submission on the board for now if that's in the cards, I wanna see how my kobold swarm does when it has a second poll to compete in.

Oh I'll very much be taking part of this. Gotta couple ideas, just need to refine them into a proper pitch and see which one is best for this scope. In anycase, thank you for ALL your hard work. As of now, this is one of my favorite ero games in development I'm following, and every update has been a treat.
Soffix Tiger
I'll absolutely have to think over this one! The tier has been worth it thus far. :>
Mega Blue Ball
Thank you so much!! Words cannot express how grateful I'm, so I'll continue to work hard to be worth of such amazing support!
Louis Blazeit
Welp. I hope it's not in poor taste to say I'll be bumping my membership to that tier for the chance to participate. I may not stay there, but I'll try not to be a one-month wonder either!
