So I have started to use Twitter to post more polls.  This is not scientific by any means I was just curious as to what polls were like on Twitter and asked a few questions and will post the results here and blab about each for a little bit.

What’s your favorite Genre for games?

Scifi – 86%

Fantasy – 14%

This one was interesting to me.  I always though that it would be the other way around.  There are far more games made in the classic Fantasy worlds with goblins, orcs, and elves than a scifi universe.  This made me really happy actually that maybe that same old world that every fantasy game is in might not be the most popular thing out there any more.

Do you prefer to make PC or mobile Games?

PC Games – 80%

Mobile Games – 20%

I was a bit shocked by this as well.  Most people that answered prefer to make a PC game.  I find that interesting because it seems like the mobile market is flooded with a who’s who of human crap these days.  Maybe everyone should follow their heart and not where they think a market is.  It looks like creating mobile games is either undesirable, or it is a pain in the rear that nobody really loves.  Kinda gives you a good understanding why mobile games are all, for the most part, terrible.

What would you rather play? PC or Console Games

PC Games – 70%

Console Games – 30%

Very close to the poll above on what you would rather make.  A ten percent difference with most people who answered saying they would rather play a PC game. Seems like people would rather be on a PC than a console.  I do understand why now that console prices are so high and the games all cost $60 a piece.  I used to love consoles, now I never turn one on and play on my PC.  I really don’t care that much though, gaming is gaming and I am glad people can play on whatever they play on.

Is Game Development a Passion or a Business?

Passion – 100%

Business – 0%

I get this one was hard to actually click business.  If you click business you are not going to be able to feel like an indie game developer anymore.  That is not true really.  If you want to make it as a game developer you do have to learn that the business part is what makes it possible for anyone to see your product.  I think this shows us why it is so hard for indie developers to break into the market.  It seems that 100% of them are there for the love of it, not the distribution of a product.  Not a bad thing, but not the greatest thing to get your game to people to play it either.

Which are you looking forward to the most? #StarWarsBattlefront or #Fallout4

Star Wars Battlefront – 25%

Fallout 4 – 75%

This one is still ongoing as of the writing of the article so I will only say this, I’M SO EXCITED!!!!
