Hi everyone! Thanks so much for contributing to the conversation, whether you posted thoughts in this thread, took the survey, or both. Since survey response rates are starting to fall off, I thought I'd comment on a few of the survey's findings so far:

The vast majority of the 43 people that responded saying that they are playing or would play an erotic MU* have shown disinterest in a new multiverse game, which is quite encouraging since the plan has been single-universe from the start. There's also a big interest in on-grid public roleplay and including gameplay features that offer players something to do besides erotic RP. On that note, a lot of people are interested in a setting with some supernatural influences, including magic. A less sizable majority would like to see a social deduction game built into the setting, a political element, and an economic element.

Honestly, there weren't really any standout unpopular ideas for game features. The biggest mixed bag came from asking about anthropomorphic characters, which I'm not too interested in supporting anyway - there are established places for that kind of play already, anyway.

This has given me a lot to think about, in terms of continuing to flesh out the design document I have going. I'd love to share bits and pieces of it once I think it's ready, and then get started with bringing the game to life!

Thank you everyone who's completed the survey and/or replied to this thread! I wanted to touch on a few of the sentiments expressed in this thread:

• Regarding multiverse. I also feel that a cohesive theme really helps set the mood of the overall setting, and that some restrictions on what players can make as characters helps set the theme as well. I am heavily leaning towards single-universe. I'm open to being convinced to think more about multiverse but at the moment, I'm not seeing as many upsides as single-universe offers.
• Characters under 18 won't be supported by this project, full stop.
• Seeing more games that don't shame players for engaging in erotic RP: 100% agreed! As this is an erotic MU* project it goes without saying that it'll be a shame-free zone, but I am aware of the potentials TS drama can reach and I think a community guide on avoiding creating it could help in that regard.
• Tentacles - somewhat agree.

Hi everyone,

Long-time lurker, first-time-in-a-long-time poster here, with a new account I'd like to use exclusively to discuss a project I'm considering developing. First though, I'd like to do some "market research", so to speak, and figure out what kinds of people are playing/have played erotic RP MU*s. I'm not interested in demographics so much as I am interested in collecting some ideas on features for the project and/or reaffirming some ideas I already have about the design process. However, I'm aware some people will be less forthcoming talking about erotic RP if their name is attached to it. To that end, I've made a Google form to survey people anonymously if you prefer not to post your thoughts in this thread:

Click here to take my Erotic MU* Interest Survey

Whether you are currently playing an Erotic MU*, or haven't played an Erotic MU*, or have played one in the past, feel free to submit the survey if you have a few minutes to spare! I'm interested in hearing opinions from everyone.

What I can share about the project is going to be somewhat minimal as I don't want to taint the survey results too much. I'd like to make a single-universe original-setting game with a focus on erotic RP, with a social deduction element for some form of secretive, supernatural intrigue, but I'm open to changing some plans around if that doesn't turn out to be as interesting to a potential player base.

That said, if you do have thoughts on erotic game design, or just words of encouragement that you want to share, and don't mind having your MSB handle attached to it, feel free to post or PM me. If this general survey goes well I would like to make a more specific survey at some point as I continue the initial design process.

Thank you for your time!
