Excitement for Future Content | Patreon Poll #33

(Apologies, I've had to re-upload this poll as it was incorrectly set to single choice only)

Hey Patrons!

With v1.4 still in the pipeline, I’m going to use this poll for something a little different. You’re all probably aware of what I talked about in the ‘Shattered Pixel Dungeon in 2022’ blog post, but even now there isn’t much certainty as to the order of those things.

I’d rather not have you guys decide on that order outright, but I would like to hear which things from that blog you’re most excited for. So, for this poll I’m going to put up the five major content additions left in the high and medium priority groups.

The strength of support for each option will help my considerations when prioritizing them. Please let me know what you’re most excited to see!

---

Please vote for all the options that you like, not just for your one favourite! I allow multiple votes as it means that a higher proportion of people will end up voting for the winning choice.

All patrons are encouraged to share their opinion by commenting and voting, but currently only the votes from Golden+ Supporters are counted when determining a poll winner. Votes from Shattered Supporters are worth double!

Blacksmith Quest Rework

As I’ve already talked about, I’d like to rework the blacksmith’s quest into a sort of mining minigame. The player would enter a special area and be tasked with mining as much treasure as possible while avoiding hazards. The amount of earned treasure would influence the quest’s reward.

New Hero: Cleric

The cleric will be a divine magic user with a wide variety of defensive, supportive, and utility spells. I want them to contrast with the Mage, who likes to heavily upgrade wands. The Cleric will get a wider variety of utility-focused magic instead, without having to use scrolls of upgrade.

Shop Rework and Expansion

I want to convert shops to use an interface and add a few new ones that are less consistent than the existing shops. These new shops would appear semi-randomly through the dungeon with more limited and specialized stock. Some may trade in things other than gold as well.

Ambitious Imp Quest Rework

I don’t have a complete plan for the Imp’s quest yet, but there are lots of interesting things that could serve as a quest setting in the Dwarven Metropolis. One promising idea is for the imp to ask you to raid a vault filled with treasure, though getting in and out might be quite an ordeal.

New Hero: Duelist

The duelist will be a weapons master who gains unique abilities based on what melee weapon she has equipped. I want her to contrast with the Warrior, who wants to upgrade armor to gain lots of passive power. The Duelist will instead focus on weapons through a bunch of activated effects.
