Results of poll
🕑 Added 2021-10-19 19:41:45 +0000 UTCSo, now that I've gathered responses for the poll I figured we could go over them together. There will be a TLDR at the bottom if you don't feel like going through it all.
As for the setting. It seems that the vast majority wants either modern or "any of the above". So I'd say this most likely indicates that the next game should have a modern setting as that seems most appropriate based on the responses.
As for perspective. This one doesn't really need much discussion. Vast majority is either indifferent or wants first person. So I'd say first person is the way to go.
Just like with perspective, this one was even more unanimous in its decision. Male main character it is.
And for a third time in a row everyone leans towards the same thing. Favoring a linear story akin to FF as opposed to a non-linear story. So we'll go for a linear story.
This one is a bit harder to decide. It leans towards more grounded, but there's still a very sizable chunk of people that wants more unrealistic or "any of the above". I'll think about this one a bit more. But most likely we'll go for a grounded story with some unrealistic scenarios sprinkled in to spice it up.
Now this one is quite interesting. Although to no ones surprise almost everyone wanted Alabama. So that one will most definitely be included. Female on female and school are both also quite favored, so a story built around that will too also most likely be included. Supernatural and superpower lies around 50% so it's a bit harder with that one. But 50% is still what I would consider a large amount of people wanting it, so I guess the question isn't necessarily on whether or not to include it. But to what degree and how it is incorporated into the story. Male domination will also most likely be included in a reasonable amount. Female domination isn't quite favored, only a third voted on it. So most likely we'll include it but only rarely. And male on male is obviously a no-go, so no worries there.
TLDR: What we're currently looking at seems to be a linear story set in modern time, following a male main character in a first person perspective. It's reasonably balanced between realistic and unrealistic, favoring realism slightly more. A school setting will be part of the story with some family love at home. The game will feature a supernatural/superpower twist. And it will have a reasonable amount of male domination.
Note: This is subject to change as the full image of the game take shape. So don't take this as what the game is set in stone to be. Some things may be added or discarded if it fits/doesn't fit the story. More polls will most likely come soon that will help shape the game even further.

What a surprise that the supporters of Freeloading Family would prefer a repeat performance! :) Well, I guess that works for me too.
