General notes
I’ve read through your questions. Here are my remarks:
- overall quality is good
- in 2 v1, the 7th question – I don’t quite understand it. If you’d elaborate on what you wanted to say, I’d love to help you find an alternative formulation.
- in 3 v2, I don’t get wich is which: female/male and male/female, though it’s probably not a question for me, anyway.
- also in 3 v2, the 5th question – I’d add “slighty chubby” for someone around 25-26 BMI
- 4 1 v1 – There is a typo. “Favorit” → “Favorite” (I think)
- 4 2 v1 – 10th question – I’d add “skinny shame”
- 4 2 v1 – 14th question – I’d invert the axes, so that the same rating can be added to different body areas (like butt, boobs: 1; thigs: 2, …)
Side notes
I’ve found an image that would represent the smaller sizes quite accurately, at last in my opinion: https://scituatehealthri.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/bmi.jpg
There could be two separate reference image sets for smaller and bigger size-lovers, since it’s likely to be impossible to find one-fits-all graphics for this particular situation.
I also believe it should be a separate question, not something suffeled into “fetishes” category.
Also, in the final results, it would also be nice to see how many people skipped a question, so that one can understand how important it is to the community as a whole.
I can see 1-9 being to much but 1-5 I believe is to few options. the difference in rating between something you absolutely love to something you like just a bit would be just be 1 or you would have to say that something you like a bit doesn’t do anything for you. I can lower it down to 1-7.
2 7th is basically how the gameplay pacing is but I didn’t want to use pacing because it isn’t an especially concrete word I think. I could add a definition but I wouldn’t know how to define it
I don’t know which question you mean when you say female/male and male/female. if it is the second question I think you miss read/typed because it doesn’t say female/male there.
4-2 14th I was afraid that people would only go with love on all but I can change it
as for reference pictures, I can add extra steps to the pictures I linked earlier because it is a 3D model with weight sliders. though it might not be ideal because of the thiccness of it. I could edit it but it’s a bit more work than I want to do…
I can make it so you rate the fatness levels, I mostly put it in fetishes because of the blob one
edit: also was it clear that I meant going out with someone behind someones back with the polygamous romance (only some know). looking back at it I think it isn’t
I the 2 7th I didn’t get the phrase “games moment to moment gameplay decisions”. The keyword “pacing” still does not make it clear for me. I just cannot wrap my head around it, maybe because English is not my first language.
2-4 14th: yeah, I see your point, but you could ask them to distribute gains in a way that they would like the most.
In the reference images I just can’t rate them adequately. I think it’s easier with hourglass figure to decide how much do I like it.
If you’re willing to address it you could render something with http://www.makehumancommunity.org, although I expect it to be too much trouble. I’m pretty sure it would be OK, to just use the BMI graphic for the lower range.
Also, it would probably be easier to rate if you’d used exponential growth scale, with factor f, for which 1 < f < 1.4, probably closer to 1. Otherwise, constant value changes are pretty much invisible on the bigger side and too big on the slimmer.
The last one in the edit with sidenote (only some know) I didn’t get at all.
I guess you could say pacing is how stressful the game is in a way. for example in a fps you are required to do a lot of split second decisions (fast paced) and in a jrpg you have an infinite amount of time to do your decisions (slow paced)
I don’t think a distribute gains question would work because you can’t (I think) limit how many total “points” you can give in a multiple choice question. how the data is presented (bar graphs) also makes it strange to read and only I can see how one individual voted
I don’t want to learn a new 3D program just for this (or make a new model) but if someone is willing to make something with makehuman or something I can add it in. I am ok with having extra reference images if you believe it to be necessary. but I don’t think the BMI graphic would be adequate for both a chubby and slightly chubby body. I think it goes from underweight to normal to chubby to fat.
I don’t need to feature every picture it was mostly so we had a lot to pick from so it would be more accurate to what people think is what level of fatness.
yeah I should rephrase that in someway, maybe just cheating? I was mostly thinking of a character that is dating multiple other characters and cheating doesn’t realy make me think of that
also the survey will say how many people took it and how many answered a specific question. on the rating questions you will have to add the total of the answers together yourself though
OK, I think I understand now the “pacing” thing. I actually thought about it, as being part of the game difficulty. Maybe you could splt the question in planning and reflex difficulty, then?
Well, if distribution does not work, maybe make a question rating different body shapes? (female body shape)
Separate images for chubby girls would be perfect.
I consider “cheating” to be a good word to describe it.
what’s the point in asking what continent you’re from
It was because I was not sure if write in responses are presented in a graph or not so we could at least see something easily (and I was not going to write in every country manually). but now that I have some more experience with this I can make a drop-down list of all countries instead.
I have done some updates to the survey
my plan is to post it in a week so if you want some question in it, rephrase a question or whatever let me know. after I post it I can’t do any edits to it without losing peoples answers.
Definitely run it through a spell checker first!
is there something you saw or just general advise?
DM sent to you and now I must wibble so I can say that.
personally. I am for both EXTREME sizes but no matter the size I love the gain itself. I love actually seeing a character gain the weight even if it goes to the normal immobile level. though I think part of this is. well I can claim with full truth to be Asexual and still have my fetishes mostly because I have zero interest in my fetishes being real so I tend for the unrealistic extreme (like building to planet sizes if possible.) I am not for slob or other things like that. scat or things like that. I am more for Female weight gain over male and don’t mind playing the feeder/feede. neutral on vore. not really for it alone but as a part of weight gain its cool. I cool with any mediams being pure text or art but if it has art I prefer a more animated look over realistic

Heeey, fellow ace! hi fives
I definitely enjoy this for the same reason, I’m not super into planet size but I do enjoy it when it isn’t super realistic and I can enjoy seeing the size and the damage to the environment, if that makes sense.
I appreciate the answers but this thread is for input on the survey so it is as good as possible when I release it.
OK, I’ve read the entire thing.
In the 5th question in 4-1 I’m not sure when you say “bigger steps” do you actually mean fewer or more steps.
I mean that if a character is at a fat level of picture 1 then the next fat level would be fatter than picture 8. there are always 5 steps/fat levels
I did my final look through and decided to change the 5th question on the How serious the story/fetish content is from Played straight faced to Completely serious. I’m not sure if it is completely clear what I mean with serious fetish content.
I also couldn’t think of a better way to put the 5th question on 4-1 @n_dimensions asked about earlier
other than that I feel satisfied with the survey the way it is. if you think something is missing or should be changed please let me know before I post the survey on Tuesday. because I can’t change a question later without losing all the previous answers to that question
That is a seriously indepth survey, lol. Are all the questions a “rank from fav to least”, or just when it says?
