May Vote, New approach

Added 2022-05-03 19:49:28 +0000 UTC

I've long been worried that the vote, while comprehensive, is super overwhelming. 30ish people vote each month despite the patreon continuing to grow. So I decided to take a stab at dramatically simplifying the vote.

First, we have the old style vote for may here. This is extremely comprehensive, letting you vote on each individual tile.

Second, we have a new, dramatically more streamlined vote for may here.

With the old approach, I'll continue to ping pong around, doing whatever the next tile is. With the new approach, I would do what I just did with dungeon stone, and focus (though not exclusively) on finishing out 100% of a portion of a set. Cut-Stone Wall-on-tile Curved, Dungeon Stone Separate Wall Primary, Towne Stairs. These represent many tiles, but when complete will mean the set is much more comprehensive. With the second approach, I'll still roll votes over from the prior month so that the most popular sets don't starve the others out. Not everything has been simplified yet, so the new approach has a second page where you can still vote on the sets that I have yet to figure out how to integrate into the new approach.

Even if we take the second approach, I won't exclusively work on that set, so no worries, there will still be surprises, and I'll still make completely new things when an idea catches my imagination.

So with all that being said, both the new and old vote styles are available above. Feel free to do one or the other, both or neither, and then when you have formed an opinion, let me know what approach you want me to take moving forward.
