Poll Results (Patreon)

Hello friends, I want to announce the final winner for the Engineer class design. But first I want to address how contentious this design poll has been. 

While the Clockwork design has the most votes, there are significant and vocal contingents for other designs.  Being excited for your favorite is wonderful, but please remember to be courteous to your fellow fan. Do not forget that we are all here for our shared love of fantasy adventurers getting fat as fuck by beating up monsters. Eat the Dungeon is a very silly game, and we should embrace that light-heartedness.

Please do not call other designs boring, generic, or bad. Taste is subjective, and we should remember this. Regarding creative decisions, my mantra is always "The one that gets made is the one that will be good." You can debate the relative potential of the designs, but right now they are all potentialities, not actualities. The one that gets picked will be the one that's good, because it will be the one that receives the care, time, and attention to be made good.

For fans of the losing designs, know that I am sad too. While it is always great to select a final design, it is bittersweet because many other designs have to lose out. In a perfect world, every design would be able to implemented. For you, I have the following announcements:

• Losing designs will be implemented as story NPCs in v0.12. What that looks like exactly is something I'm still figuring out, but I think it would be cool to have 2 frames each, for a before and after effect.
• I will post a poll for patrons about revising the final vote/tiebreaker rules. It is always my desire to see the votes reflect patron's desires, and I wish to find the best methodology for that. The current rule is that a final tiebreaker round will occur if there is a 5% margin between the top results. We can expand this margin, or always do a final showdown vote.

Remember, that in all things, to be excellent to each other.

With that done, I will now announce that the Clockwork Engineer is indeed the next character to added to be Eat the Dungeon. Please look forward to her making her appearance next week:
