Another Netoria Tactics 2 Poll

Added 2024-01-23 20:29:31 +0000 UTC

I've been talking about Netoria Tactics 2 a lot recently. People seem pretty excited about it, I like the idea of it, seems like a solid thing to get the ball rolling on. I've been building up a design document and keep running into a few snags. These mostly can be described by the chart below.

There's a lot of content I want to be in the sequel. I also want the sequel to have higher quality art than the first. And since this is a project supported by Patreon, having every update take a year because that's how fast I can afford to get stuff made is unfair to you. So we have a problem. I can't have lots of content, high quality art, and fast production for this game all at once. Especially while I'm making At the Mountains of Friendship and Naked Ambition too.

So that's what this poll is about. Which of these three things do I make sacrifices of to actually get Netoria Tactics 2 made? With the first game, the art quality and budget were what I sacrificed, it was always supposed to be a small, fast side thing. But the sequel doesn't have to follow the same pattern.

As always with these kind of polls, you're not making the decision for me. I'm just trying to get a feel for what my supporters think. Are you okay with the sequel taking a long time in order to make it the highest quality possible? Would you rather have a game with less variety of content but good art and fast production time? Or do you not really care about the art much and just want as many different routes as I can make?
