October characters poll starts! with Major schedule and rule changes!
🕑 Added 2024-09-13 07:37:34 +0000 UTCHi guys,
We have made some changes to our poll schedule to help us deliver better content for everyone.
Our polls will now start shortly after each release and run until the next release. The winners will be implemented on the subsequent release after that.
For example: a poll will start on v0.54’s releases, run until the release of v0.55, and the new characters will be included in v0.56.
This is a major change to support our work. As we begin working on characters once the results are locked, we have only about 2 weeks for each poll which is very rushed. We also had to rush the poll to have more time, which is also not ideal. With this change, we will have a full month to prepare, and the results should be much better.
For this month, we’ll be running both the poll for v0.52 (October) and v0.53 (November) back to back, the first one will run until the 20th, and the second one will run until the v0.52 releases. This is unusual but will ensure that future polls can run on the new schedule.
We’ve also decided to update the poll rules to let you guys decide on new outfits and male characters too:
Please post your suggestion to characters-poll when it opens.
Please include the name and screenshots or clips of the character in a specific outfit (a model link is not required).
If your option is already suggested, you can react to that post instead. (only the top reaction is counted as one person can react multiple times. Duplicate posts will be removed).
The best suggestions will enter the Patrons-only poll.
IMPORTANT: The top 3 remaining characters from the last poll will automatically enter the poll but no longer have bonus votes. The remaining characters will not be allowed into the very next poll, to encourage more variety.
Each franchise is limited to 2 characters per Patreon poll (you can suggest more but the top 2 will be picked).
Your suggestion should not include underage-looking characters.
Male characters voting follow the same rules, with 5 characters per poll, 1 from each franchise, 1 winner, and 1 runner-up joining the next poll.
Costume voting follows the same rules as male characters, but applies only to characters already in the game.
Costume and male choices are presented in the same Patreon poll as female characters, but their votes are counted separately to determine the winner.
In conclusion, each poll will now decide:
2 new female characters + 1 random choice (same as before).
1 new male character.
1 new alternative outfit.
This is quite a bit more content than we previously could achieve, but we believe the new schedule will enable us to deliver them consistently. There can be some problems during the transition but they should smooth out in future releases.
The October poll will start now, please post your suggestions to our Discord character-poll channel.
Thank you for your support!
