[PatronOnly]Questionnaire Result Announcement! (Patreon)

After publishing the trial version of RoD, many people answered our questionnaire on our official website.

Rape of the Dead has two different elements, it being an erotic FPS, so I, as a developer, was very intrigued as to what people were interested in seeing.

We have received 2822 Japanese and 3143 English responses.

The results will be released only for patrons.

The first question was an English only questionIt was about nationality, and as you can see, there are a lot of people from the States. China, which is currently expanding its market, was in a rather low ranking, though.

Additionally, we think Taiwan was only in the seventh place because the Taiwan answer was only added about days after the questionnaire came online.

I concluded this by our official website getting the most traffic from Taiwan, followed by Japan.

Thus, we have a Taiwan DLsite of our game.

Next, we asked you on how you got to know of us. In Japan, a lot of people became aware of us through Twitter. Nextly, it was from the DLSite.

On the other hand, the proportion from overseas Forums were overwhelming.

In addition,  there were three Forums frequently mentioned:

LewdGamer, ULMF, and Sankakucomplex.

I heard of them for the first time, but they're apparently releasing information about Japanese games.

There were also people who mentioned Youtube, even though we were distributing videos through Vimeo. We realized that making the game SFW for Youtube is important.

Next was the question about your GPUs.

Initially, I assumed that most people don't care about their PC specs and wanted to know their information in advance.

Around 30% of both Japan and overseas users have GTX 100-900 GPUs, around 1.000 people.

The 'I do not know' answer was the most important one for us, but it was just about 20% for both Japan and overseas.

Based on these results, we configured our game accordingly to suit as many people as possible.

The next question was your favorite game and the "expected game."

The answers vary because it was a completely free to type answer, so we will just attach the data in Excel, so please check them if you like.

These two answers gave us a rough idea to what you people like to play.

Meanwhile, we admire the people who answered with the Goat Simulator 2!

Next on the list was which main Character you would like to see next, it is a rather specific question.

Both Japan and overseas wanted a sexy female character, followed by a weak female character and then a strong male character.

While the rankings are the same in Japan and overseas, the percentages differ greatly.

The overseas wanted sexy women with an overwhelmingly 37,4%.

Futanari was also highly liked.

And the next one was which game genre you would like to see next.

Japan wanted an F/TPS, the most with 49,6%, followed by an RPG with 42,1% and in the third place a survival game with 26.2% Surprisingly, stylish action wasn't high up there and even more surprising was that people wanted an F/TPS more than an RPG.

In overseas, though, the RPG genre was the first place with a 54,8%, F/TPS in second place with 49,6% and the survival game in third place again with a 48,5%.

We thought that Japan liked RPGs more, but actually, its the overseas that wants the RPGs!

Recently Zelda BoTW was highly liked, just like with popular titles such as Witcher 3 And Skyrim. Maybe we will pursue a game with similar basics.

Survival games seem to also differ in popularity.

Survival Games like H1Z1, Rust, 7DaystoDie are very trending overseas right now but are more of a niche in Japan.

On the contrary, strategies and training games are popular genres in Japan. Does this reflect the careful thinking of Japan and the action oriented overseas? Who knows!

Finally, the last question was about the visuals.

The 3D animation style was appreciated a ton by an overwhelming amount.  Personally, I expected overseas would prefer a more realistic 3D style.

However, there is a lot of this kind of animated 3D Style in the Japan market, so people overseas may have a skewed image.

So I would like to redo this question with members only. Compare this animated 3D with more realistic style games.

The vote will probably be posted next post, so stay tuned!

That was the results from the questionnaire, thanks for reading!

We planned to update the Rape of the Dead this week, but we need some more time. Hope you understand!

We're working on the following bugs

· General issues with Gamepads

· Motion blur with the FPS camera in CG mode.

· The SPAS animation

· Hero stopping reloading

· Heroines stop moving

Especially the last two bugs are proving hard to fix, so we might not make it in time for the translated version. We thought about releasing it without these bug fixed, but we would like to release the games with these two bugs fixed.

If we do change the schedule, we'll contact you.
