Project Poll, Progress Report, 22/03 - 24 (Patreon)

I wonder what our dear Mai is up to, surely nothing lewd would be going down in these alleys?

Hello folks, it's poll time! Above is just a short snapshot of the Mai Scenario that is underway, slated for release next week. I've had to re-do sections of it that didn't work out during last weekend over the course of the week, but it's coming together nicely so far.

The poll however is about my actual Projects, the large things that take ages to make owing to my update schedule and the likes, but which none the less form a backdrop of something I aim to deliver here in my work.

I've realized that it's become very common among creators, particularly lately, to release their projects in smaller episodic bits before eventually editing them all together into the "full" thing once all scenes are finished and released. On that note, I've wondered what my backers would prefer as I realize there are upsides and downsides to both approaches. The Ivy Project is presently ready to have its Intro rendered, edited and released if I were to do episodic releases, giving people something to view while I work on Scene 1 - which would be rendered, edited and released when that one is finished, where upon I'd get to work on Scene 2, and so on, all the way until all scenes are released and I gather them all to edit together into one large video for a "full" release.

Off the top of my head, I have two thoughts about episodic releases:

The upside is shorter waiting times, where you'd be able to see sections of my Project work significantly earlier than if I wait until everything is done before releasing it all.

The downside is that you'll see each scene as they release, with a significant time gap between them, meaning you might be tired of the older scenes once the full project is released, reducing overall excitement for the final product.

There are of course also up- and downsides in so far as how I work on these things, budgeting etc, but I am more interested in what format you, as backers and consumers of my work, would prefer.

So, for my large Projects:
