From the site itself, I imagine the medieval setting with magic will be the most popular, second to the post-apocalypse/modern setting because of Skyrim and Fallout. 

 

But who knows! 

 

Like the last poll I made, I'm mostly curious about adult games, but vote however you want. If you prefer adult games in a different setting from non-adult games, I'd love to know that too!

No - I don't distinguish between adult and non-adult.

I might have cared about such questions when I was 16. But that's years ago. I don't care anymore.

I either accidentally deleted an option or the site did, but there should be an option for an antiquities period, like classic Greek/Persian/Roman Republic/Empire.

 

So I'm going to change the China one to that.

Just to make sure: where would you place a steampunk setting? ?

I had my own understanding and substituted in curved brackets "( e.g. steampunk )" for my vote where I thought it would belong to. But who knows .. :classic_huh:

I actually had a steampunk option at one point too x.x Oh well I'm done editing the poll, it's frustrating on a phone.

 

Steam Punk would probably be closest to Victorian, so put your vote there. The key thing about steam punk being steam, after all.

 

Which would also be the same time period (although different geographically and thematically) as the wild west... Which makes that Will Smith movie make a lot more sense.

:classic_happy:So, I did it right

I like a mix of magic, "magic", non-magic, and a mix of sources.

 

By "magic", I mean something so far beyond what we understand that it is effectively magic, like transformations caused by nanites, and non-magic being like the real-world.

 

By a mix of sources, I mean both genetic, learned, and  semi-random/chosen one sources of magic knowledge.

What do you mean about 40s era Disney as a setting? Like really fairytale fantasy with castles, princesses, witches, etc?
