JasX Survey Results - Part 2 (Patreon)

I'm glad to see lots of people use the JasX HUD, that will make it easier to transition into playing GoThongs as GoThongs requires the JasX HUD to play.

I'm also surprised that so many people use plugins while playing! That's boding well for the GoThongs mod system.

However, not a lot of people use the LFP system. I could either use some suggestions on how to improve it, or remove it completely.

Now let's go through some suggestions for the JasX store!

• Feels a bit janky using it. Would prefer it as a separate full page rather than a container.
  I have it the way it is so the JasX top bar can be accessed from any game page. But I see where you're coming from. A redesign might be in order.
• When you enable the animation, it was hard for me to find it, no clear instructions given how to activate it.
  I'll add this to my to-do list.
  
• Cleaner site design would help me find what I'm looking for, as well as more consolidation (no separate sites for each game.)
  Going forward I will probably make the game sites on-HUD instead of in-browser. Those who refuse to use prim media will just have to cope.
• Accept credit cards.
  No :(
  
• Direct Linden dollar purchase instead of a micro-currency.
  JXC was added so you could purchase with alternate currencies and so I can hand it out freely without having to worry about going bankrupt. It's here to stay :3
  
• more accessories and clothing available to get :D
  MORE THONGS
  
• More currencies? Accept Paypal? Will script for Items?
  I would accept paypal if it wasn't such a pain to set up.
  
• View store before login, more visible navigation bar
  I definitely need to fix this.
  
• Fix the gifting system. I have a TiS licence I can't figure out how to send.
  I could definitely write a better explanation for this.
  
• Make the TiS things buyable again!
  Yes. Though EP is gone forever.

Moving on, I'm glad to see people interested in the gameplay more than the sex :3

Glad to see a couple of people enjoying the soundtracks. GoThongs will get some soundtracks at some point!

The game genre answers don't make sense. Because people always want TiS2, but seem to like RPGs more than FPS. Weird. Fun to see how much the JasX playerbase dislikes sports games though.

The theme questions were about the same as last survey. Sci fi and fantasy being the most popular genres.

It's interesting to see that the amount of time players spend playing games on an average day is completely mixed, where we have some casuals and some that spend nearly all their free time on games.

66.1% voted that Patreon is a good way for creators to get income, which is the reason I'm giving it a try now.

The reason I had the question for open source vs achievements is that if I make everything open source, then you can just look up the source code and add all achievements to yourself instantly. That would make it  redundant. Though one of my stretch goals is to add in achievements and make the upcoming player on player interactions unlocked by achievements instead of microtransactions.

I find it interesting to see PVE more enjoyable than PVP to the playerbase.

Platform questions

Firestorm being the most used viewer doesn't surprise me, and I'm glad to see that 87.3% of users have firestorm as their primary viewer. This is especially important as developing for GoThongs requires the firestorm preprocessor.

I thought more people would have smartphones to be honest. But once I make a non-SL game I'll just use HTML5, which runs on all platforms.

Android users dwarfing iPhone users makes me happy. And it seems as very few players have shitty internet. With roughly 80% having at least 10mbit.

The amount of windows 10 users surprised me, at 45.9% using it. The only more popular OS was Windows 7, which is understandable. 

94% have a steam account. Not that I'd ever be able to get my games greenlit because of the adult stuff but, still interesting.

I did not expect to see so many Firefox users being nearly as popular as Chrome. 8.6% still use internet explorer, for shame!

51.5% are excited by VR headsets, so am I :D

16.3% think doge is kill, such sad, many disappoint

The vast majority of players consider themselves to have mid-range or better computers. 17 players playing on a potato.

Most players have a google account of some fashion, with FA being the second most popular social website, over facebook. Not a lot of redditors here.

67.8% prefer headphones/headsets over speakers. The other 32.2% are living dangerously, considering JasX being adult games and all that.

Moving onto SL Avatar questions

The most popular avatar sex is female, with 56.6% using one regularly, followed by male at 48.5%. 30% herms/shemales.

78% commonly use a furry avatar, followed by 59% humans/anime avatars.

The vast majority of players have been on SL for more than 5 years. Only a few freshies play.

The most popular mesh body is the SL stock body, followed by kemono and avatar 2.0.

44.9% want learn how to create assets in SL. A tutorial section with basic guides on how to script or make meshes might be in order.

Moving onto RL demographics

The overwhelming majority (70%) are male. But nearly one quarter is female. Which is still pretty cool considering the nature of the games i make.

Almost half of the user base is bisexual. With 28% straight and only 7% gay.

As for music, rock/metal and electric genres were the most popular.

65% of players consider themselves furries, which is interesting considering 78% regularly use a furry avatar inside SL. 8 people consider themselves SJWs, I have no idea how that works considering my games and all.

The rest of the RL demographics were spread fairly evenly. About  5% of players reported being aged 40 or above. A majority of players are also single, so get dating each other \o/ - 10% of players are married, I'm curious if some of them play together with their spouse, and if some play in secret?

71.1% are Americans, and 22% are Europeans. I thought I'd see more Europeans there. Not a single person from Africa responded :(

Players on average have more cats than dogs.

60% own sex toys! Awesome! But 22% don't own because it's embarrassing, which is not awesome! Maybe we should promote something for valentines?

Anyways, this is all for part 2. In part 3 I will have a look at people's fetishes and report on what you may officially see in my games!
