Last month's poll showed a strong preference for a community post about what types of DLC we have planned for the future. Just so we're all on the same page, here's a quick rundown of the important base game points for this discussion, since I don't expect any of you to remember every single thing we mention in these posts:

- Base game will be free.
- Base game will consist of the player character, Michael, interacting with Emily (from Femdom Lines), Jitsuko (from Femdom Lines) and Tomie (from roughly half of everything we've made) as the Dommes.
- Players will upgrade Michael's stats and reputation as they enjoy a sexy, tongue-in-cheek story with those Dommes, Hana (from Femdom Lines) and Stacy (from Stories of Submission: eNTeR the cuck).

All caught up? Good. So we have two types of DLC planned:

• Type 1: Girl Packs.
  
• Type 2: Chapters.

I'll begin by explaining Girl Packs, because that's the simplest. Each pack will feature 3 Dommes and they will be selectable to replace the 3 base Dommes, being Emily, Jitsuko and Tomie. Our intention is to allow players to start a New Game and select which 3 Dommes they want from the base 3 and any Girl Packs they may own. You could pick your favourite girls from 3 different packs and play against your personal all-stars. You could keep Tomie and swap in 2 from Girl Pack 1. Whichever Dommes you happen to prefer! Each girl will have the same amount of content as the base 3 and their own art for every interaction. This is kind of difficult to explain, but trust us that the overarching story is told in such a way that the girls can be treated as modular content.

That brings us to the second type of DLC: Chapters. Shizuru, our release DLC, will be a Chapter. We expect people to understand the concept of Girl Packs after playing the base game, so it seemed obvious to make the first DLC a Chapter. So what makes Chapter DLC different and worth your time? Let's bullet point this:

1. Chapters will canonically take place after the base game. That means events of the base game can be referenced, but also that the player will start with all base game upgrades and abilies. Chapters will therefor also assume the player understands the mechanics of Dominance Battles and won't include a basic tutorial.

2. Chapters will focus on a single Domme and explore her character, kinks and story with more depth than the base game and Girl Packs. It'll be a more guided experience with longer story sections and Dominance Battles worked into her unique story.

3. If possible, we hope to give each Chapter a unique mechanic not found in the base game that reflects the theme and kinks of the Domme. For instance: Shizuru was the CBT themed character in Femdom Lines, so her Chapter will involve CBT and "pleasure through pain" in both the story and in her combat mechanics.

So why the split? Basically, as we were brainstorming ideas, we realized we were coming up with two completely different types of DLC. Instead of limiting ourselves to one type, we decided we would split up the ideas for the Dommes based on how much story is there and whether her story would require unique mechanics. We also hope that the variety in content will keep people more interested than if we just choose one type of DLC and produce nothing else. Finally, there's the practical consideration that Girl Packs will require more art, but Chapters will require more writing. Alternating the two types would allow for more consistent DLC releases... you know, in theory.

On to the Roadmap update!
