Content polls

Only tier 2 and higher pledgers are allowed to participate in the polls, each tier conferring one or more additional voting tokens. Tough, the content can be imposed by the team members if the game development requires it. Minor updates are not subject to polling in order to keep their contents confidential until their public releases.

Extra content

The poll was proposed to all contributors on May 12, 2020 and results were announced on May 13, 2020. The question was about the favourite character, for which new scenes may be released.
