Look, y'all better hurry because these losers CAN'T keep their claws in their own business! (I could've drawn myself with an in-world persona... but staying human is much, much funnier).

Fill out the visual novel dating sim survey before they steal it from me!

As thanks, you'll get the key character artwork as a desktop background at the end.

20+ respondents already, wow!

Survey closes end of Friday 21st Nov - Melbourne/AUS time

Within, I ask you questions such as:

When do you prefer to play a game during development?

What are your favourite parts in visual novel dating sims?

What do you wish they did better?

Your answers will help shape the feature for my project game - Hateship - and how I approach production going forward.

I have a interesting proposal, Zaktan could potentially grow in size, maybe even bigger then the great spirit robot!

Here is my trail of thought:

1. Protodites are microscopic creatures that will duplicate when they are hit, If they are still intact after the hit

2. Zaktan are composed of millions Protodities, he have the ability to control these Protodities

3. Zaktan commands the Protodites that composed his body to hit each another,since this happens at a microscopic level, they will most likely be intact and start to duplicate and start to grow in size. I am unsure if they are any limit to this size grows, maybe he will stop when he can’t get enough air?

4. How many air do Protodites need to survival?

Simply counter: No air

Not sure if these were answered in canon. What do you all theorize?

Can each of his Protodites see? Is it impossible to sneak up on him (unless he is very focused at looking at one thing), because his "peripheral vision" is basically 360 degrees?

Do all of his protodites have the same abilities, or do some grant hearing, some sight, some touch, etc.

Would he be immune to being poisoned, because he can just send away the specific protodites hit by the poison?

Could he carry an object inside his body? Like if he loosens the protodites around his chest, sticks a rock in there, and then hardens them again around it? He can clearly harden himself enough to pick up things with his hands at least.

To use telepathy, fear, or other psychic powers on him, do you have to send out a signal to each Protodite, or only one/a few. If it's a few, how big of a ratio of his body?

How far do his Protodites have to be separated before he loses access to them? Do they just die if they are far enough away?

Can he reshape them to shapeshift, if he wanted (such as, for example, absorbing one of his arms to grow a bunch of spikes on the other arm).

Would an Avsa drain each individual protodite of energy one by one, or drain them en masse? Likewise a Shelek's mute/deaf ability.

He has laser vision. Does that come out of his eyes or the Protodites' eyes? In the latter case, could he just kinda fire laser beams out from any part of his body? (I know the graphic novels show them coming from his eyes, but is there anything stopping them coming from elsewhere)?
