Hello, Erill here.
I promise all I’m doing is just putting in designs that I think fit the class the most and that I find interesting…of course I’m designing with the intent to win the polls but there’s no malice towards any other person who’s put a design up.
I could go on about my philosophy on all my designs I send over to BA and what I think I’ve found as a “winning formula”…but I’ve also had multiple designs that didn’t go over great in the public polls either…
People disappointed by the lack of monster girls should keep an eye out for the Beastkin class, which is exclusively non-humans.
I like stuffed slimegirls, but I wasn’t a fan of this one’s design. Not that it matters.
I hope we get a Bunny be cause i love Bunnies 
Even if it is a fair polling system, I do feel 6 wins is where things start to seem somewhat murky for those of us who cannot pay ourselves…
I can’t say I am all that surprised about who won. That said, I already got my fatsune, so I am content regardless.
I’m done hoping for a design I like to win… every time a poll came up and designs where shown… I always see two I like, like the cultist and the dragon disciple on this one… and at least two that doesn’t interest me or dislike which this poll happens to be the two that tied and the one I disliked the most was the winner… even if I could pay, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to have swayed any of the polls to the one I liked… I… pretty much just lost interest in the game just because of that… I used to pop up often to see updates and now I just rarely ever do so anymore… popped up for the first time in a couple of month scrolling down what I missed and seeing all the designs for this new class only for just like every other ones be the one I don’t like to win… until now… the only characters I still like from the game are the starter ones that didn’t have a poll for the design especially the witch… and the only I’ve used a shit load from polls because of how useful she is, is Bard. (Pink is a color I hate greatly so… it’s kinda saying something from me for anyone that knows me… which no one does here so that part of the comment won’t be of any impact…)
I really don’t understand all the complaints about which characters are winning the polls. I sincerely doubt there is any foul play going on, Erill is just good at suggesting characters that fit the style and theme of the game well. I hope they aren’t dissuaded from suggesting more characters because they have a knack for it.
If people want other characters to win, I’d suggest doing more to influence the polls. The most obvious thing to do would be to join the Patreon and vote yourself. Free users that want to make an impact need to drum up support for the characters they want to win. Do stuff like draw fanart, make a meme or discuss what you like about the design. All it takes is a few people changing their vote to see different results.
Don’t care if it’s from the same artist, so it’s not the artists problem, so I’m not putting myself in the “Erill won for the sixth time, it’s annoying” boat… I just never see the design I like win and some of us can’t afford to pay money so we can only do nothing but hope… A.K.A. people like me with no jobs and goes to college.
I am also terrible at drawing, so I can’t do any fanart of any kind. I’m just a rando that rarely ever pops up and maybe spoke for the first or second time on this website so I doubt anyone will hold what I have to say in value. And I can’t make memes on the fly about designs.
So really… I can’t do anything… and that’s why I lost hope, there is nothing I can or will ever be able to do.
I want to do everything I can to be fair to everybody and respect the patron’s wishes. I run the tiebreaker poll, I always check the voting data for suspicious behavior, losing designs will come back as NPCs in v0.12, and I specifically added the Beastkin class to cater to people who want non-humans. If anybody has any suggestions for running the polls more fairly I am all ears.
A degree of disappointment is inevitable. No creative work can please everybody. I try really hard to maximize it, and that’s all I can do.
I still maintain my belief from this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/42287153
“The one that gets made is the one that will be good”. Are there entries on the poll that look better than the others? yeah, but looking good in the poll is different from looking good in the game. No matter who the winner is they’re going to get the attention and time needed to be the best. I’m sure at this point you all can trust me to not half-ass a new adventurer, haha.
Honestly, just seeing that losing designs can appear as NPCs alleviates a lot of the disappointment for me; I knew that was a possibility discussed a while ago but I wasn’t sure if it was still the case, and it’s nice to see that’s moving forward!
My biggest concern and disappointment was that some very unique and interesting designs might end up totally unused, which seemed a real shame considering some of the fantastic ideas we’ve seen!
I know this would take a bit of a rework, but I was thinking rather than the timed chalenges permanently unlocking an upgrade, make it buyable via weight from the NPCs’ then have them offer multiple versions based off how far you have progressed. (As well probably not going to happen but, as you give them more weight they would gain as well. Though up to a point.) As for buyable I mean per use in each level. So using a defense boost in a level would use it up leading you to buy another.
i bet Erill will make a best Beastkin art. keep that win streak going! 
I don’t know if this offers a significant advantage over the current system. I’d be open to reworks if they’re worth the cost but I think I’d have to tweak the save system for this. I’m always hesitant to change the save system because somebody always loses their data in the changeover
Actually I think Beastkin is the only category Erill hasn’t created something for
Might i suggest import/export save files then? it’d probably save you from explaining how to restore it through console every time someone loses their save
So. I have too much free time, and i grinded the preistess to have 100000 weight. I dont know WHY, but i did it.
am i insane
I’ve been thinking about adding importable/exportable files
The Monk is here! To unlock her, get a B rank or higher on Sealed Wing
Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting Huh! Hello Monk!
Sidenote: we got 4 Candy adventurers, we need 2 more Fruit, Veggie, Milk and Meat Heroes to make it even.
Sidenote 2: Drunk Monk Girl is Thicc!
Well, 2 of the candy characters are pure support (Engineer, Bard), so that means for combat-capable characters theres now 2 of all 5 food types, so its fairly even on that front.
Actually, looking at it… with Monk, things seem decently spread to me. 2 fighters for each foodtype (plus 2 pure supports), 3 combat characters for each combat stat (4 for spirit), 1 stat blindspot for each foodtype (2 for dairy). The only thing i can see thats uneven purely on a character front is that the only stat without any AoE characters is Fight. Sneak gets 1, Spirit Magic & even Support get 2.
