Poll Results
Added 2020-10-02 15:27:05 +0000 UTCHello 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:

I'm still thinking about exactly what I want to do, but my current idea is that there'd be little dialog sections before and after the first time you play a level. Generally the scene would be you see them thin in the before section and stuffed/fat/whatever after the level's resolved

2020-10-04 00:58:13 +0000 UTCYeah you've gotten very close several times. I'm sure its only a matter of time until one of your designs wins!

2020-10-03 13:29:47 +0000 UTCThe less frames NPCs have the more feasible it is to put them in the game. 2 is the maximum I would ever consider. I can't guarantee when the next poll is with any accuracy, so I can't say

2020-10-02 20:18:47 +0000 UTCI agree. Being polite and kind to other fans is the best ... Glad to the winner, Clockwork Engineer!

2020-10-02 19:31:15 +0000 UTCSometimes I get a bit salty over these, but I'll admit it's mostly because I seem to have the magical ability to always have one of my favorite designs come in a very narrow 2nd place to ones I'm not as enthusiastic about. It's a crummy superpower, that's for sure. XD Clockwork may not be my pick, but she's still pretty neat! All of your designs have a lot of charm to them, and I look forward to seeing her in the game.

2020-10-02 19:11:37 +0000 UTCMust admit, this is a little disappointing, but nevertheless congratulations to Erill. Probably going to be a case similar to the Spellblade in that she'll grow on me, but personally don't understand why the voters didn't go for something else, like the Furnace Golem, Dwarf or Doll. Sorry, I must admit I don't know how much effort goes into drawing, but are there only going to be two pictures for NPCs? Nothing in-between? Sorry again. And out of curiosity, do ya have an idea of when the next poll might happen?

Also a huge thank you to everyone who voted for my design, I honestly wasn't expecting her to see as much love as she got and it's absolutely awesome to see her make it into the game!
