New Game Month in February or March?
Added 2022-01-07 22:15:55 +0000 UTCI posted a Month Dedicated To New Games? poll a few days ago and right now it's a landslide for there to be a New Game Month! The original plan was for the New Game Month to be in March but because the previous poll is looking like a landslide... I wonder if people would prefer the new game month to be sooner in February!
If the New Game Month is in February, then I will use the January Monthly Queue Poll to determine the first new game I work on in February, and then I will have a mini poll conducted between January 29-February 3 to determine which is the second new game I work on in February. The January Monthly Game Update Poll would not result in a game update but instead would have the new votes carried over to a February Monthly Game Update Poll (with the top two in the February poll being eligible for a mini poll between February 26-March 3 which will result in a March game update).
If the New Game Month is in March and not February, then the January Monthly Game Update Poll will result in two games being eligible for a mini poll between January 29-February 3 which will result in a February game update. There would be a monthly poll in February (February 3-February 26) which would decide the first new game I work on in March, and then there would be a mini poll between February 26-March 3 which would determine the second new game I work on in March. There would be a February Monthly Game Update Poll in which the votes will not result in a March game update but instead will be carried over to a March Game Update Poll which will have the top two games be eligible for a mini poll between March 29-April 3 for a April game update.
If there is a New Game Month in February and March: basically a combination of the above except I will work on new games in both February and March while not working on any new game update (based on polling) in those two months. I will use the January Monthly Queue Poll to determine the first new game I work on in February, and then I will have a mini poll conducted between January 29-February 3 to determine which is the second new game I work on in February. In February, I would have a poll from February 3-February 26 to determine the first new game I work on in March, then a mini poll between February 26-March 3 to determine the second new game I work on in April. The January Monthly Game Update Poll and a February Monthly Game Update Poll would not result in new game updates, but instead will have the new votes carried over to a March Monthly Game Update Poll which will have the top two games be eligible for a mini poll between March 29-April 3 for a April game update. I can also make a poll to determine whether to include the queued game updates (Ditch or Hitch & Furry Farm Frenzy) as possible things to work on in March.
You may vote for multiple choices in the poll.
Note: One New Game Month should result in 1 or 2 new games being fully completed. Two months of New Game Months should result in 2, 3, or 4 new games being completed.
Note: game updates above refer only to game updates based off polling. It does not refer to game updates based off commission tiers. I will work on game updates based off commission tiers in a New Game Month but I will not do game updates based off polling in a New Game Month.
