RESULTS - New Monster-Girl Poll #4
Here are the results from the last poll. The format is:
#Rank: Character - Site1 + Site2 + Site3 = Result.
It was multiple choice and all votes are of equal weight.
#1: Arachne - 439 + 19 + 1 = 459
#2 Sphinx - 390 + 9 + 3 = 402
#3: Centaur - 322 + 12 + 2 = 336
#4: Mimic - 288 + 11 + 0 = 299
#5: Dullahan - 277 + 9 + 1 = 287
#6: Mershark - 221 + 7 + 1 = 229
Arachne and Sphinx are clearly popular choices, with Arachne winning by 57 votes. That said, Sphinx was one of the less popular girls on the last poll, so that's surprising. I actually threw her in at the last minute, hence she was labelled as 6. on the poll choices.
Also, I still don't know exactly how I want to draw Arachne, but she won regardless. I'll work it out.
So, what happens now?
In theory, I should do a second poll to decide a winner, the results are close enough that doing a second round could change the winner.
I'm thinking about putting both in. That should be alarming (adding new girls takes a long time) so let me explain --
Because Sphinx is likely to be more of a miniboss/boss like monster and Arachne is likely to be a harpy-like, spawns-on-certain-tiles enemy. There's something I'm working on that would be perfect to have a Sphinx in front of it ... Whereas, if I want to bulk out the remaining desert areas with more monster-girls, Arachne is a good fit (and I do want more traps).
The question then it "how is this not going to take forever". What I may do is have the character art covered by another artist (I take a long time to draw new monster-girls) ... They also wouldn't have elite versions right away.
The project is now at the point where there are paid artists delivering art fast enough that I actually need more characters for them to work on sometime soon.
But I also want to make some of the other monster-girl ideas, including ones that weren't on the poll... So it's tough. I'll make the decision soon, and mmmaybe there'll be a final poll but what I'm planning right now is that I'll have a hired artist tackle these characters and then I'll still have time to make everything else, instead of drowning under the burden.
Maybe I'll do a poll on "which planned feature should I do next" like bigger bust sizes or preg or some sorta TF shop thing. Or I'll just work on it when I have time.
Anyway. Thank you all!! We've come a long way, almost at V0.7 now. More creative support is coming in (ending art, character art, music) and I've got the opportunity soon to move somewhere with an office 100% of the time, instead of 50% of the time. Things are looking good for the coming months.
this ended up being a news post...

Honestly I would add the top 3 but use them as u need them kinda deal sphinx being a boss/mini boss is great idea
We need a minotaur type monster girls who charges at you
So, do the taurs in this world have two butts?
The Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou one does. But the artist (who should be drawing this) has other opinions.
I would love to have even more bust sizes to explore and have fun with, but honestly anything you do will be amazing as I've loved every update you've posted. Keep up the great work I can't wait to see where this goes in the future
It is planned! I've just been taking my time on it because it's quite tricky to add soon, perhaps ...
A way to force transformations onto yourself would be amazing to have added into the game.
It'll be there at some point, I'm planning to have that as a late-game thing / a final unlock you can get for each monster-girl ... Or maybe tie it to their home locations if I put those in.
A thought entered my head. Since an Arachne is based on arachnids name wise, would it make sense for there to be both spider and scorpion variants? Like the Base Arachne is purely spider in design but a Scorpion variant could also in addition have scorpion pincer arms and a stinger tail at the base of the humanoid torso?
potentially...
The girls on here won't vanish and there are ideas for some unlisted girls, so don't lose hope!
Hyped for both of these. Will you add something about a pig and a cow monster girls maybe? Ps I love this game continue working on it
nice, hope everything is going well! shame that mershark ain't doing well though. i do like sharks. hoping a froggirl can show up though in a later poll!
glad to hear that the artists got into working mood. that it actually helps you to an ok amount.^^
honestly all of them where amazing for the game shame that only 2 of them will be implemented hopefully they aren't scrap and later on they are in the game
One day, Dullahan. One day. Maybe. Hopefully.
Hmmm, Arachne will be interesting, traps too.. will see how will they be implemented, and the TF´s with it, i for one totally suck at aiming with the Harpy transformation´s egg bomb :D I´m interested what will Sphinx have as skills too. Have any fleshed out ideas for the milk skills you have been mentioning earlier yet?
I want wolf's other ending to be done before I implement them, but there are vague ideas
Sphinx will sate what dragon's dogma 2 has done to me
Sphinx is definitely going to be great, not to mention Sphinx Taur.
One day centaur will get their time to shine
Look like I get to pet one of them yippee
Sounds good to me. I voted for both Arachne and Sphinx, so it’s a win-win. Would love to have Centaurs as well, but I’m thinking that might be one you put in anyway. 😉 Dullahan was also cool…
Preg is a need
YES! I voted hard for Sphinx. It's such a cool, mysterious form and fits so well for a boss like the Werewolf. I'm glad it's going to be a boss and maybe a chaser for the Desert zone. Keep up the great work! Arachnae is also fantastic as a form!
I think sphynx is so high, because it fits extremely well with desert
