April Poll Results!
🕑 Added 2024-04-11 23:57:37 +0000 UTCAlright boys, girls, and others! I've just finished tabulating the Short Story Poll results, so it's time to do the Poll Announcements. First and foremost...
Left Hand Magic Focus Poll
----------------------
Revina/Trix Threesome Route Event - 43%
Arianna's Route Event - 20%
Revina's Route Event - 20%
Arianna/Talia Threesome Route Event -17%
----------------------
Well, as you can obviously see...the 1st place winner is utterly unambiguous. The Revina/Trix Threesome Route taking more of the vote than the next two places combined means it will be what I start on tonight. (The last animation of the Trix Route is rendering right now and that route only needs one more still image after the animation). Arianna and Revina's placements are a bit more troublesome because of, you know, the fact they tied. Still, I actually put my own vote on Revina's Route...so I'll consider Arianna's to have won greater support from Patrons. That means that the sequence of events for the build will be:
----------
Trix (Basically Done)
Revina/Trix
Arianna
Revina
----------
I'm 100% confident that, unless some major outside factor fucks something up epically, I'll finish the Revina/Trix Event content. I'm similarly about 90% sure I'll get through Arianna's as well. I'm a lot less certain about Revina's. Threesome Routes always take longer than the same amount of content for the solo routes, and based on how much time the Talia and Trix routes took...getting Revina in as well will be 'iffy.' As I mentioned in the recent progress report, however, if I don't get in a fourth event, I'll try to get some improvements to some old of the weaker animations from previous builds, instead. The build should be a pretty decent size either way!
Short Story Poll
This one blew me away a little...
----------
The Starship Promise - Journey to the Rim - 113
The Transformation Estate (Revisit) - 64
An App for That - 36
Alyia and the Magic Shop - 23
Andrea of the Silver Key - 21
The Dungeon Town(Puppet Daze) - 20
The Ruler's Companion - 0
----------
Seriously O.O. I have no idea how The Starship Promise suddenly surged in popularity like this. It languished un-updated for seemingly forever, only to abruptly become overwhelmingly popular over just a few months time. I don't have a clue why or how...but I don't mind it! Heck, I always thought it was one of the better concepts, given that I adapted it from one of the games that could-have-been if Left Hand Magic hadn't won out as the most popular new game idea back when was finishing Chastity Quest and first presented a few new game concepts.
So! The Starship Promise is our winner for the month, obviously. I'll get started on it within the next couple of days. I think The Ruler's Companion is doomed, though. It was never popular and a 0 vote count is pretty telling. It will likely be removed from the poll next month in favor of keeping The Transformation Estate (Revist) as an option. Given how well that did.
Mixed Media Short
----------
Cara Loft: The Seal of Kukaco - 50%
The Virtual Trap - 33%
Xanadu Emporium - 17%
----------
I admit freely that I had zero clue how this one would turn out. The three stories in the poll this time are arguably the three stories that have been doing best in overall polling this year, after all. I didn't even try to guess out who was going to win this one ;-). As it happened, however, Cara Loft overcame the others with a decent lead, and will thus be getting it's third installment this month! I'll likely begin renders on it tonight, in fact. Or possibly asset acquisition, I think I might need a few new ones for it...
------
That's all for now, folks! I'll put up another progress report in a few days, once I've made some progress on a few of these things!
