New poll time, new poll time !

Okay, this time it's about 2D. The question is directly linked to the poll that the new one replaces : if you said "Kyodai is in a good direction, but don't drop 2D", could you explain your choice ? Thanks for taking a few seconds to answer the question. Additionally, I think it's time to tell you what you answered. As you can see on the second poll, it seems like about 80% of you are able to run Kyodai perfectly, apart maybe from one or two problems for one third of these 80%. The result is very encouraging. Having a result of 80% was my original target, because no one could ever think of having a better result with the diversity of video cards that exist. The other poll was about the direction I'm currently taking. As for the first poll, 80% of you are satisfied with that direction, although they don't agree on whether or not I should maintain 2D in future versions. About 15% want me to return to older versions, which I wouldn't have done anyway because my investment on 3D is far too advanced to forget it now, and for the remaining 5% who ask me to make a Linux/BeOS or Mac version, well... Both Linux and BeOS refuse to work correctly on my machine, and I don't have a Mac. I rest my case.

Thanks everybody for answering all these polls. They are important to me because they allow me to get more confident into my work. You should all be satisfied in the coming months, because I'm going to add a new game to Kyodai that you've never seen anywhere else. Yup, I'm currently developing my own rules for a game based on Mahjongg !

Stay tuned !!
