Hello everyone,
I'm posting this announcement to keep you informed about the last survey. It may have seemed like a long time, but we had to make sure we had enough responses to have a reliable feedback. I want to thank all of you for taking the time to take this survey. This is mainly why I am making this post: to thank you, and to make it up to you by giving you the overall feedback.
I am really pleased by the overall positive feedback! It was extremely nice going through all the kind things you said and I took a note of all your remarks (even the funniest ones, like a recipe for a chocolate cake that I have yet to try out :) ).
I am not going to give you the numbers of how many people want this or prefer that, but instead I'm gonna give you what really matters: the conclusions I drew from this, and where GCH is heading.
The main thing you are craving for is new item packs :) I was surprised by the amount of users who took the time to emphasize it in the free text part of the survey, and I am glad they did! Don't worry, we won't let you down on this. We will try to release several item packs in the upcoming months. I would love to see the GCH graphic assets grow in size exponentially in the future, to have fully-fledged RPG Maker packs, but not only :) We will start by releasing upgrades to existing packs.
This brings me to the second point: you do wish to have more item packs, but also to have more animations. This would be a great addition as well! One minor issue though: GCH currently falls somehow short on this. While GCH can handle any kind of custom animations, it doesn't do well on synchronizing several animations of the same character if they are on different spritesheets. The next big update of GCH (not this December update) will bring improved support to characters with various animations so that we can supply you with more varied item packs with plenty of new animations :)
Last but not least, many users also wish to have a tileset editor, or at least to have some tileset editing capabilities. It's too soon to talk about it, but I have several ideas on how I could bring this to life :)
And finally, a word about RPG Maker MV: I hadn't originally planned to add support for RPG Maker MV in GCH until the next update I talked about. But you guys insisted so much for this, and besides I really want to thank you for taking the survey that I changed my mind. We will officially bring support for MV generator parts in the coming weeks :)
That's it guys! Sorry for the long post, but I felt like I owed you a big thanks, so I wanted to share with you an overview of GCH's roadmap. I hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks again =)
So long, I have a chocolate cake to bake. And it's not a lie.
