The results of *Influence my creations* poll
🕑 Added 2022-06-19 12:48:16 +0000 UTCThe *Influence my creations* poll is about to end, votes are cast and I thank you all for participating! A lot of people voted, making this poll really meaningful.
Let's talk about results. These already include increased voting power of higher patron tiers and have a few votes from subscribestar, my other site added in.
Votes:
- Insect(-oids) large and small 21
- Monsters, non-humanoid 12
- Tentacles 10
- Monsters, humanoid 7
- Undead 4
- Beast, predator 3
- Beast, peaceful 3
- Robot, mechanical 2
Let's look at these categories one-by-one:
So, creepy crawlies won by massive margin. This doesn't surprise me, considering what Cthulhu episodes 2 to 5 were about, but I didn't expect this victory to be so clear. This certainly tells me what I should focus on in the future.
Patron bonus following Ep7 will be affected by these results, as well as future Cthulhu episodes and bonus videos. It won't cause wild shift to the series, as I already planned inclusion of these poll winners long before the poll happened, but it just further assures me this is a desired path to take. New creatures will appear while those from past Cthulhu episodes may have a cameo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second place belongs to exotic monsters. It just further shows you want to see things unusual and surprising. Perfectly understandable, and I will keep this in mind. I suppose this was a strong category from the start. So, this group will also have solid presence in my future videos.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third place goes to tentacles. When making this poll, I actually though these might win the poll, seeing how popular they are everywhere. It would be difficult for me to focus on these heavily, so I suppose I should be happy they didn't dominate. Nevertheless, they will still appear sometime in the future somewhere.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Humanoid monsters are fourth. They still got decent amount of votes, nothing to frown at. Goblins, orcs, minotaurs and the like are pretty popular creatures and I suppose I should make some video with them eventually, though maybe they won't fit into main Cthulhu series. Or maybe as a dream segment..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skelly boys didn't perform very well in this poll, taking number 5, but then I didn't much expect they would win, and their inclusion was a wild idea from the start. Definitely themed for horror video, we'll see if they ever appear in my content. I do need to keep things varied, but make no promises at the moment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beasts, both carnivore and herbivore, are the big loosers of this poll, getting mere 3 votes each. First and foremost, when making this poll, I felt that splitting this category to two, predators and peaceful, was a bit arbitrary, but it was meant to emphasize different approach they would take in given situation.
No matter, even both categories combined would net them just 6 votes, barely overcoming undead and being fifth. That's not impressive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robots are last with mere 2 votes. I didn't think they had much of a chance, but I did like the '2B and old metal' video and wondered if automatons gained some fans. I guess not. So this group will be low priority in coming months.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So that's everything. Your votes will have an impact on my content and I might re-run this poll in 6 to 9 months from now to see if my audience's tastes have changed.
What results of this poll cannot change, is episode 7, the one I'm currently making, as things are locked in and can't be altered on moment's notice. Speaking of episode 7...
I promised to deliver first half of episode 7 this week, but that will arrive 2-3 days from now, so 21st or 22nd of June. Reason for this delay? What I have planned as first half of Ep7 is now nearly 15 minutes long. So that's almost the length of full episode already.
Rebecca is just taking her time.. I guess I'll have to move some plot elements to next episode, so that this one gets finished in foreseeable future. In any case, nearly 15min long video coming in a few days.
