2023 NPC popularity contest RESULTS

The popularity contest is over and the polls have spoken!

This time I presented you with two polls both for male and female NPCs: the first one was a public general vote in which you could choose as many characters as you wanted, and the second was reserved to patrons and you were allowed only one vote.

As you can see in the lineup above, the reigning trio has remained the same:

Cindy takes the leas again with a new record, 1570 votes. Holly and Ivy take the second and third place respectively, but Cindy has almost double the amount of votes.  No one's dethroning the blonde queen anytime soon!

Alison and Emma continue to fight for the fourth and fifth place, and this time Alison edged her out by only 30 votes. They are closing in on Ivy though, should she be worried?

Surpringly, Gillian takes the sixth spot, leaving Minerva and Cherry behind. Seems like you really liked her character design, even though she hasn't played a major part in the story so far, she's integral to Ian's plot.

Speaking of Minerva, she's managed to climb quite a few positions: she used to be last in previous polls, but seems like her last scenes have earned her your appreciation! The same cannot be said for Cherry, who got only a few more votes than last time and only has Louise and Jessica behind. I was hoping for her to get some more love, since I tried to make her last scene in chapter 11 very special and I enjoy writing for her, even though she doesn't have as much screen time as other characters (but has more than Gillian, that's for sure!)

The status quo remains quite the same, but the best girl poll brings some surprising results:

While Cindy and Holly retain her top positions, when only being able to vote for one girl both Emma and Alison have dethroned Ivy! I'm glad to see that both girls have some fans, since I try to make their scenes really hot and make social interactions with them as fun to play as I can.

The other girls are competing for the remaining percentages, and Minerva gets the sixth place with 4% of the votes. Seems like the sexy MILF has finally caused an impact!

When it comes to the guys, the poll gives a very different vibe. While the rankings have shifted quite a bit since the last poll, Jeremy still is number one, with 815 votes. Stan has stolen the second place from Seymour, who has fallen to fifth position, surpassed both by Axel and Marcel, which is a bit sad since I've put a ton of effort on Seymour's plot, character and scenes, trying to make them stand out and bring a different feel to the game.

I was considering if I should include Marcel in this poll or not, since he's basically a background character so far, and I'm surprised to see him take the fourth spot. Seeing both Jeremy's and Marcel's results, it's obvious most of you voted based on your favourite fetish, and I can see which one it is...

Perry sits at the middle, holding a solid sixth position, beating the sexy hunks Mike and Mark, and even Wade and Billy. And, of course, Robert is last, even though he has quite a lot of content in the game. Hopefully he's the type of character you love to hate; I find him entertaining at least!

The best guy poll didn't bring many changes, aside from restoring Seymour to a better looking third place, even though Stan still beats him. He's become a fan favourite despite not having as much content as other characters, but it seems you enjoy his scenes and I'll try to keep it that way. Hopefully the re-writes he went through made his character more interesting and tied him better to the overall narrative, even though I struggle to make him as relevant as his position in the ranking would suggest.

What do you think about the final lineup? Did your favourites win or do you feel some characters are underrated? Did anything surprise you? I'll read you in the comments.

2023 NPC popularity contest RESULTS

Comments

Ha ha on the Jasmin and Perry observation that made me laugh. Although Perry just makes me laugh all the time.

JSexton

I wonder if you plan to include more characters from GGGB since Jessica was included but still has not too much content same with Natasha. I think Jolene from GGGB deserve more content for example(maybe Billy knows her and Tyrone), she was so beautfiul and why not Jasmin since Perry said he likes "chicks with penis". In any case I hope your development doesn´t get you too much trouble because there are a lot of characters already and I wonder how can you create enough content for all of them and end the game before 2030 :D

Jairo

This is late but I wanted to add a few things in that hopefully are of some substance. I think apart from his fetish, Marcel fills a role with his body type and age of being an older, grounded, and more surly individual. I thought Ed might fill this role based on early story hints, but either I misread these or the plan was changed (seemed like his wife might pass away leaving room for the MC to provide some romantic comfort). Anyways, I think this is sort of missing as an option right now. Seymour feels less like a romantic relationship and more like a perverse sexual mentor who views the MCs as something between toys, pawns, or apprentices. Most of the more muscular body types also feel like they're clearly more for show, being chiseled out the gym rather than built through labor. He could very easily be a wholesome counterpoint to Arthur from GGGB. Also it might open up a fun scenario where Lena pursues a sexual relationship with him due to a certain fetish but ultimately finds that he has much more appeal as a long term romantic option, since Jeremy is clearly is not looking to stop living life on the edge any time soon.

TCoffin

I'm not saying I want slutty to be the only option, in fact I like her current path a lot. It's just that said path being the only path means *less* Cindy content than if she had a few paths with different types of scenes. And since more Cindy = good...

elmagio

Amen!

jdanarchy

Hey, just 'cause I hate Seymour for being a straight-up villain doesn't mean I'm not going to enjoy the hell out of his scenes!

electronpools

Calling bots honestly. that or people that just want a blond regardless of story. hoping with Alison's hair change people will either hop off the Cindy delusion or the bot owner will get a new favorite

Alyx Determan

Please God(Eva) 🙏! Ian x Louise baby! Replace Gillian with a hotter goth-er redhead

Kurt Wagner

I hope we can influence her to be more relxed

ZeroOne

I also would love some forbidden content with Ian and Louise (the scene in the hallway where you can answer "good morning" teased me so much) xD

Jimmy

One thing I would just implore you to consider, and you probably have already, is to not interpret the less popular ones "unimportant". I would argue characters like Louise, who I personally enjoy as a character, is an extremely important character in enhancing how hot some other scenes are, like scenes with Jeremy who is the most popular male character.

Jimmy

Yeah Seymour is vile but SO much fun to hate.

Morgan Albertson

Yeah, I voted for Marcel, but that's because in his limited interactions he's come across as a very nice dude with a good sense of humor and heart. Most of the guys in this game are really big jerks, but not Marcel. He is FAR more than the color of his cock.

Morgan Albertson

I for one massively appreciate you including scenes with all of the characters, Eva, even the ones who don't do well in these popularity contests. Cherry and Louise aren't in my top 3 girls and clearly they're not the community's favourites, but I've enjoyed every one of their scenes and really hope there are more in chapters to come. There seems to be a lot of excitement for scenes involving Marcel, which is honestly bizarre to me, but I guess it's just not my fetish. What I'm really excited for is the possibility of Nat scenes in ORS! She was my favourite character in GGGB and would love to see more of her and her boyfriend in this game. Keep up the amazing work Eva!

Dorian Wainwright

I hope this means axel in 3rd and 4th in the two polls means that he will get more content!!! hes the best guy in the game tbh, hot and dominating

Aubrii

I'm surprised Cherry didn't rank higher - her scenes are so hot! My favorite playthrough so far has been with Ian in an open relationship with Lena, and spending the rest of the time having as much fun as possible with Emma and Cherry. I like Jeremy and Perry. Would be fun to see Perry & Cherry hook up. I voted for Marcel because of his kind & funny interaction with Holly. Would love to see them go on a date.

Chris

Yeah Jeremy is the good friend who helps you get girls or just sex, I had a friend like him. I know it's off-putting to some people but I like his character.

MasterSav

Ian not reflecting on his own situation with Gillian while going for Cindy is a bit strange, I give you that. But Cindy is more than the cheating thing. She doesn't appeal to you, it's ok but she clearly appeals to a big player base.

MasterSav

Inshallah Alison will be no. 1 in the next poll

Sihil

Tbh, the funniest subversion would be if Marcel was just a really nice guy, who doesn't really fetishsizes any girl, wants to have a wholesome realitionship with holly. BUT then HE is the one that gets seduced by Lena and her crippling addiction to bbc, making him cheat on her because he was the one seduced. Probably would be a nice subversion of the trope. Instead of the black guy desperately going for the most beautiful girl, he is chased by the girls till he eventually can't hold back.

BlackGooLover

Eva, yes, please build on the gentle giant persona of Marcel, but he needs a moment to show that his muscles are not just for show, and I vote for Axel's face to be the place where he shows it, lol.

Ken J

Yah, I'm with you on Marcel and on Louise. Initially I wanted to get Lena and Louise together since I had Ian go with Holly. But when she started to really show signs of being obsessively clingy I had to put a stop to that...

Ken J

While I didn't vote for her as my favorite female NPC, the meeting between Ian and Gillian was my favorite scene from Chapter 11. It can go in several directions, but it felt like a positive turning point for Ian in most of my playthroughs. The maturity Ian showed in the encounter was the proudest I have ever been for the character. Gillian went from a character I never thought about to the one I am most excited to learn more about, even if she isn't my favorite. I am curious to see more of her in the future.

VanillaTwistArt

even then the blond type for western culture is curvy. more Kate Upton, not skinny twig. the cheating thing is the only thing she's got going for her and Ian was broken because of cheating so to see him do it to his high school friend ruins it completely

Alyx Determan

Well I, for one, completely voted Marcel for the fetish. lol. You likely won't see many comments like this, as it's a portion of the fanbase reticent to be judged by those preferences. We're pretty used to getting derided for it. I, however, have no shame. :D So I'd chalk this one up at least as much to Column A: Pure fetish as Column B: Some players starving for a likeable/date-able male of substance beyond Ian. Though I think the Column B task could just as easily fall to Wade or another character after a serious self-improvement arc. That being said, other than the obvious hulking build, the Marcel we've seen so far doesn't initially seem to fit the trope well for the theme. Though neither does Jeremy, imo. From his very brief interaction in the game to this point, Marcel comes off as far more thoughtful than thuggish. For all I know, he's a closet conservative voter with a copy of 12 Rules For Life in his glovebox and a secret Origami hobby. Could be very interesting for complex character development but not so much for a rocks-off sex scene. XD Either way, I could see what some people are picking up from him & can understand why they might want to see more of that. All said and done though, tropes get a bad name. They shouldn't fill up 80% of the story to the point of abject laziness, unless you're going for obvious camp appeal. But they are a very powerful tool for one key reason: Done properly, they're extremely effective... especially when it comes to porn. Tropes also exist in real life flesh and blood, part of the spark that makes them work so well, beyond mountains of psychosocial complexity. Whereas subverting expectations on every turn can inevitably become predicable in itself. Oh, original Billy. We hardly knew you. (;﹏;)

Ken Copeland's Demon Eyes

Ivy soooo underrated, I can only assume it's because she hasn't had enough content and scenes so far ;) .

Briz

I think secretly sleeping with your friends partner is a pretty hot thing in a game like this. Incredibly shitty IRL but cool in a game.

Reutermo

Louise is def one of the best looking girls but she’s not very enjoyable to interact with so far. Maybe once Ian and Jeremy double team her she will rise in popularity

Kurt Wagner

Tbh her scenes are quite good but I also don’t get it. I think it’s partially bc she is the typical beauty standard of Western culture…white blond woman. Or maybe tons of people wanna cuck their good friend lolol

Kurt Wagner

I'm surprised by how low Louise is ranked. She's probably #3 for me behind Alison & Emma (that said, I like all the girls in the top 5.) I'm glad Jeremy's firmly at the top of the guys poll. Fetishes aside, he's the most likeable & three-dimensional of the male characters. Hoping we get to see some scenes with Marcel soon (ideally with Alison, Lena, or Holly.) Perry's another one I'd like to see get some more love with Emma or Cherry.

J. Preston

Cindy is so overhyped it's unreal. The guys at least make sense for a game like this

Alyx Determan

Roberts position doesn't surprise me, he's a dim witted slime ball. I've never honestly completed an Lena, Robert playthrough to this day. Hahaha thanks for making the gallery unlockable from the start. I'd never seen most of his content.

Chad6o

Can you give us a little Update, or little teaser like that we get to See Marcel for the Chapter 11 Epilogue. How is the work on it so far. Did all your ideas worked. I can't wait for Summer at "perrys" summerhouse

ZeroOne

I Hope we get more.

ZeroOne

I Hope you find more Time for her. But if not i Hope to Read your alternative Paths for her.

ZeroOne

I've voted for Marcel because I want to see more interactions of him with Lena, but mostly with Holly. They give me those Beauty & Beast vibes and Marcel really looks like a Gentle Giant. I don't care for fetishes as I play for the story (and steamy, hot scenes like the last one with Seymour - you've turned it to 11 for sure). It's a pity you didn't choose to develop further Louise paths as she is interesting character sadly relegated to being complaining bitch. Heck, there must have been a reason why Lena chose to rent a flat with her and not with Ivy.

Brother Bethor

tbh i don't think marcel's success in the poll has anything to do with a bbc fetish. i think he just got a lot of votes as a joke/meme, since he's barely even a character

TommyTheDude

Maybe it's not the BBC fetish, maybe it is. I bet Billy would be higher in his first iteration.

MasterSav

Cindy will probably fuck Axel if your Ian is not on her love path

MasterSav

The few votes for Robert didn't have influence on his screen time

MasterSav

Justice for Cherry!

Eva Kiss

Some characters are harder to insert in group scenes than others. Cindy is mainly related to Ian's side of the story, where she hangs out with him, Perry, Emma, Wade and occasionally Alison and Jeremy. Because her current situation with Wade she hasn't been hanging out with the group lately, and her affair with Ian being secret makes it neccessary that they see each other proivately. However, you'll be seeing more of Cindy soon from the other side of the story...

Eva Kiss

I knew I had to give Marcel a scene at some point, but I hadn't picked a possibility yet. Now I'm starting to figure out a few things!

Eva Kiss

That's a very interesting viewpoint I hadn't considered while reading the polls. Marcel, a bit like Robert, is one of those background characters that end up getting a life of their own, but unlike Robert, seems like Marcel is really liked! I added him on a whim when writing chapter 5, and while writing nightclub scenes, he kept coming up with interesting interactions and possibilities I could use, so I starterd giving him a bit more space. While I had concieved Marcel as a rough, confident man who's work is imposing his will over belligerent drunkards, I had developed a couple ideas about his character and personal history that never really came to shine. Now they will at some point, that's for sure! And you'll be interacting quite a bit with him during the upcoming Chapter 11 Epilogue ;)

Eva Kiss

I like to know what my audience thinks, but ultimately I have my own vision and I always follow that. However, I try to give people what they like, of course :)

Eva Kiss

That's one of the routes I'm going for with Stan, but I think his character would work bette rif the pace of events flowed faster; sadly I can't bend all the other narratives to fit his the ideal way. I tried to address and add some things in the re-write, where he was one of the main focus of re-writing, but just like Louise, they suffer from limitations due to content creep. However, I'm happy I've written him well enough that many like him, and I'll try to keep making good scenesand different pths for him even if he's not the main focus amongst the cast.

Eva Kiss

Regarding Louise, the results makes sense since right now she basically serves as Stan's foil or Lena's plaything. She's one of the characters that's been suffering from content-creep the most, where I have ideas for her and alternative paths I could develop, but I just don't have enough time and resources for that kind of undertaking, so I have to limit the possibilities of her character. That's basically true for all of the characters though, as a branching storiline provides almost infinite possibilities, but I can only bring some into existance :(

Eva Kiss

Including Jessica in two quantum states in the game was a fun idea I wanted to implement and her bad version has developed in quite an interesting and surprising way for me too. The scene where Ian checks out her videos was something different to work on and I've been developing something in my mind for a while, I can't wait to be able to put it down in words and images.

Eva Kiss

Emma my queen <3

azsh218

I agree with @Krakatoa64. Cindy isn't my personal favorite, but I think it would be too cliche if she went slutty.

fdlfiction

I’m sure the instant Ivy x Ian happens her popularity will skyrocket. She’ll probably be Top 2 tbh

Kurt Wagner

I'm glad Minerva is getting some love. I really like her story and the development of her character. I look forward the seeing where the relationship ends up.

Liam Benson

I really hope you don't let the few votes Cherry had influence her screen time. Although not being my favorite (Ivy is), I really enjoy her as a character and her scenes with Ian. I'm curious if Ivy'll get more votes and become closer to Holly when Ian finally gets his shot with her.

VK

I must disagree. Cindy is refreshing because she doesnt slut it up. Im not saying slutty is bad. Im just saying in most porn games everyone is a slut. Nice to see some variation. Some people just arent like that.

Krakatoa64

Can't stand Jeremy lol

JS031986

Lol jemery deserves it. Lena should get more bbc action.

BlackGooLover

IMO Louise needs a bit more well rounded characterization. Right now she's basically an annoyance. Looks wise she is one of my favorites tho

Kurt Wagner

Very glad Minerva got some respect. Now we just need justice for Cherry! Her scenes are some of the best guys! If you haven't done a Cherry route, then you are missing out!

Kurt Wagner

I'm on team Marcel. Not because I want to see him get with Holly. My play through Ian is with Holly faithfully. But because Marcel seems like a cool guy. Like he's like the "gentle giant" type that just gives some wholesome vibes. I would love for there to be some kind of confrontation between Axel and one of the protagonists and Marcel steps in and reminds Axel that he's not the most jacked guy around, lol.

Ken J

Yep, definitely this. He's been very nice to Holly despite him being the big muscular guy you might assume would make him a big asshole. So I think a lot of us like him for being the "friendly giant."

Ken J

Cindy's *only* flaw is right now her route is pretty limited both in terms of quantity and variation. I'd like to see her options expanded in the future, just because her own boyfriend isn't worthy of her doesn't mean a romantic relationship with Ian has to be the only option. She could "slut it up" in a single model path where we mostly just witness where that leads her as a third party to it, maybe she could opt to ditch her boyfriend *but* only be casual with Ian and play the field (perhaps even getting the Alison treatment with Jeremy and Ian), maybe she could even explore her sexuality with Lena (not immediately as there's little way that would make sense without some build up, but as a long term thing) and other girls. The simple prospect of a Ian/Cindy/Lena threesome would be enough to send Ian to paradise (and all of this would also probably be enough to get Wade dangling on a rope, but let's not talk about that). Cindy content is always the highlight of a chapter when there is some, but it is also kind of disappointing that it's always basically just one Ian/Cindy scene.

elmagio

Marcel just seemed like a cool guy. Plus I tend to only do ian/lena so I don't care about the other guys

RevGen

This. It’s not about Holly taking the BBC. I got a cute vibe from them and hopefully he’s a big teddy bear(on the inside) protector for Holly!!! Plus it’s kinda hot for the shy writer girl to end up with the tough club bouncer!

Kurt Wagner

I agree with BloodyMares—I can’t speak for everyone else, but I voted for Marcel exactly because he defies the expectations in the few small interactions we’ve had with him. And he was added to the gallery without any obvious content coming up—which I suspect made many more than me curious!

Doppelgang

Need to see Marcel giving the D to Holly. Less about the fetish and more about a big solid, imposing dude, hitting on an innocent young woman coming into her own sexuality. Loved their convo, the dynamic, and her shy/bashful reaction. Need to see him tossing her around, rolling those waves of orgasmic pleasure.

PhaeDog74

I'm hoping Marcel will be a nice guy. I didn't vote for him but I like how he visuellt looks diffrent from most of the other characters. I also hope you don't feel dihearted by Seymour. For me he is a love to hate character, and I like his character despite not really going down his route.

Reutermo

Alison has a big problem... If you want to be together with Lena, you had to break up with Alison oder wait until the scene at the museum... and there is not hint for this. :-( I found out by chance So, I have to wait now... let Jeremy have all the fun until Ians time is coming.

Sousou Gnom

It was my first popularity poll, so it was very exciting to see what everyone's preferences are. Cindy being so far ahead was surprising but cool...She's my favorite. It was also very interesting how big the love for Holly & Emma is...which shows how big the community is. Other favorites of mine are Alison, Ivy, and Jessica (I'm excited to see more content from her) - and yes, Gillian made a big impression on me with her new scene and the first selfies on my cell phone - I hope we have the same opportunity to become active here, similar to Alex & Lena...with the men, it was surprising that Marcel is so far ahead - I'm not surprised that Jeremy is so popular as a fuckboy and I find the variable that Seymour brings in very wicked & contemporary. 😎

Maverrick888

One note, I wouldn't jump to conclusions that Marcel climbed so high just because of a fetish, but rather thanks to his fairly cute and promising interactions with Holly. A lot of people have genuine hopes for him to be an interesting character and a good male option for Holly (as opposed to all the selfish dicks and a selfish shy nerd). That would be a very welcome change of pace, where a mean-looking black character doesn't just fall into a fetish but can actually have something more to him. What if his big looks are deceiving and he's actually a sweet guy?

BloodyMares

Love Cindy. But honestly I just hope you don't use these pills to choose your direction.

Yepthatguy

Since I'm team Alison, I'm moderately ok with the results. I'm aware that it's unrealistic hoping her to be higher, since her interactions are very limited and only connected with Ian (and well, Jeremy). But I like her design and her behavior, for me is the most interesting woman in the game. Regarding guys, Stan is a decent guy. I'd really love to see some kind of evolution for him, the same way you did with Holly (who started being shy and now is awakening her more lustful self). It would be nice evolve and have some fun with a girl apart of Lena, someone who helped him to be more confident, a better photographer (and maybe a higher sense of style).

Lascivo

I hate that not many love Louise. I still hope to see Emma and Louise together in some 3, or 4 somes :P Eva do you enjoy the work on the work on Lenas Friday night ? I can´t wait for the Nightshift in the Club. I hope she can maybe dance a little bit with Ivy :D

ZeroOne

Fuck yeah! Stan . . . THE MAN! While I appreciated the re-writes you did with the remaster, Stan has always been interesting to me. A true "Beauty-and-the-Beast" sorta motif. I'm glad his popularity is only second to the very well-developed BBC insert! 😆 My female pick was Jessica. I found the crossover from GGGB interesting, and her interactions with Ian were VERY intriguing. And I definitely sympathize with your Seymour not getting as much love as you hoped he would. His character and dialogue are some of the most well-articulated and dynamic I've ever seen! Definitely kudos on the classist approach to his ruthless-yet-sophisticated persona! And finally, like others, I ask - where is Ed?!! 😅
