Hi William, Unfortunately, its not quite that simple. Its hard to poll people on exactly what they want months in advance, because often times they don't know themselves exactly what they want/expect out of a possible new game. If you give them a list of possible features they'll want them all. either that or people will make suggestions that are impractical or difficult to add etc. Either way I'm sure that ssix months or a year down the road someone will think of something new they didn't think of during the poll/survey and want it added to the game as soon as possible. I don't think a poll would really be that effective.
Besides I think I've given the community too much say and freedom already. You know the saying, "give them an inch and they'll take a mile." That fits hear. I felt bad about not being able to complete Montezuma's Revenge so opened this game up to suggestions, opinions, and ideas to make up for that loss. Its not something I would have done otherwise. Once I start truly creating my own games with no preorders etc hanging over my head I'm going to be a lot less open to suggestions etc. If I like a suggestion I'll add it, but if not its my game so I'll reject it. People whill have to understand my main reason for writing games is not money, but my own entertainment. In the wise words of Ricky Nelson, "you can't please everyone so you've got to please yourself." Cheers!
