As you may know, The Main Gate recently turned 5 years old. It's been a long and interesting ride of uncertainty, but I really hope a lot of you out there have enjoyed and are still enjoying the effort being put into it. This poll outlines all the main elements which make up The Main Gate and where things stand with each of them. Though I can likely guess what the results will be, I'm interested in seeing exactly what all of you are most into seeing. Keep in mind that public opinion could alter the development speeds of these projects, so consider carefully. Which of these best reflects what you want to see the most from The Main Gate?
01 - Sky Pirate Arcade - Megaman Digger "Cast my vote for the Classic/X style Legends platformer. The demo rocked and I can't wait to see more of this game!"
02 - Sky Pirate Arcade - Tuttle's Little 5-Island Adventure "Though still early in development, this game sounds like it has mountains of potential. I'm really looking forward to it."
03 - Sky Pirate Arcade - Mini-Games "The big projects are cool, but I'd really like to see more stuff along the lines of Launch the Drache, Skate Or Cry, and the new Sart Farm Stampede."
04 - Halcyon Days - Yohmi's Story "The recent additions are great, but short-lived. I've been waiting a long time to read more about where Yohmi's story goes."
05 - Halcyon Days - Miiki's Story "Work on Miiki's story. It sounds interesting but there's hardly anything there at the moment."
06 - Alternate Trigger - Part 05 "No contest, put me down for AT Part 05. Part 04 was great, but I demand more 3D goodness!"
07 - Alternate Trigger - Gallery "I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment of AT, but it'd be cool to see its site finished and have high quality images of all the models."
Now that you've reviewed all the options, please cast your vote. Additionally, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love it if you'd post to say what you chose and also mention your second and third choices, detailing what it is about your top three that you're really looking forward to. Many thanks!

Tuttle' and 'Digger were head to head for me. I went with Tuttle'. Puzzle adventure games of this caliber are hard to come by, and it's the first fan game I've played that can manage to fill me with a sense of nostalgia for both MoTB and Meikyuu no Fukkatsu. Plus, I'm a sucker for obscurity. And it doesn't get any more obscure than minor characters from a spinoff game no one ever played.

I ♥’d MegaMan Digger when you released the demo, and would really love to see more of that. Plus you may or may not be using the (super cool) Yuna idea I PM’d you about a month ago. (And even if you're not, any inclusion of Yuna would be nifty) But either way, been hurting for some good Legends game-age for quite a while, and after playing MegaMan 9 my enthusiasm for the 2D platformer is through the roof. So... yah.
But practically speaking, I'd say whatever is realistically doable. Some of the options that would require less effort might be worth taking care of first. The Alternate Trigger Gallery bit and the MiniGames might be the intelligent best first choice. (Somehow, productivity just tends to spike when you don't have as many different things to do)

I've been digging Alternate Trigger for ages, so naturally I vote that you get to work on Part 5!
My second and third choices are Tuttle and the AT gallery, respectively.

2, 3, 1, 6, 4, 5, 7. In that order, although I know I'm biased towards #2. Digger is alright, but I personally enjoyed TL5IA, LTD and Card more. AT5 is important, but I wouldn't class it above the good work you two are doing with the SPA. 4/5 are pretty much tied, so don't take that the wrong way...one before the other, regardless of which one, is fine. #7 is tantamount to generic fanart, which has to be done in the pursuit of future AT issues anyways, so it doesn't rank as high as even Halcyon Days in my book because it isn't as critical. Also, nice to see you've slipped word of another Arcade game that's been released. If there were semi-regular updates on the forums, there wouldn't be this problem

Hmm, I had an idea in another thread about opening up the arcade not just to demos, but also to games still under development that may or may not have all their graphics, physics etc worked out yet. Obviously I'm not saying that it should accept something that is just one little guy walking around a blank screen, but I do think that allowing people to put up debug rooms or to post updates of a game as new levels are created would encourage creation of games and community support for games. Personally I feel like part of the lack of game production stems from the lack of support from the community.
Edit: sorry I should have put that in the arcade thread.
Also I want minigames because they are the most likely to be completed games as far as fan games in general, and I think that would encourage more creation of fan games.

Definately Megaman Digger. I have yet to try the demo (Didn't even know it existed til now!) but the concept greatly intrigues me. In fact, it's something similar to what I was planning on starting, and now no longer have to! Sweet.
Not sure what my second and third choices would be, though.

I'd like to see a part 5 of AT first just because we had to wait four years for a fourth and I thought that the fourth part was great.
My second choice goes to Megaman Digger and Tuttle's Adventure for my third.

I chose minigames because I think that getting several complete minigames on the arcade will increase interest in the arcade and the other two will get completed as well.

I chose MM Digger. Once you flesh it out a bit more and add some more creative goodness, it'll be great!

MegaMan Digger! I once thought that if Capcom had to make a cheap RockMan DASH 3, then I thought it would be awesome if they made it like MegaMan Zero/MegaMan ZX, except only a little easier. This seems like the closest thing to it!

Megaman Digger, no doubt. I've been waiting way to long to see a game along the lines of Legends, and this is one is the closest thing to Legends yet. Tuttle's Little 5 Island Adventure would come in a close second though. (Finally beat the demo! ;D)

After I get a couple minigames out my first bigger game, which I will not wait until all the levels are 100% completed to share, is going to be about exploring ruins as a servbot in different Bonne machines.

Of the choices, and choosing one, I picked the Megaman Digger game...though I kinda wish it was a "Top 3" choice and not a "pick one". However, I understand that your time for TMG is limited, so there you are. If we could give top 3s, then I would choose Alternate Triggerafter that, then Tuttle's Little 5-Island Adventure.

I'm just going to go the majority here. I would love to see this game actually finished. I haven't played the demo yet. (Lack of a computer of my own sadly) I think it would be pretty interesting to see Classic/X style legends anyway. It would probably be a little bit easier then trying to make a massive 3d Legends game.
I don't know about anybody else but I just want to see a good Legends fan game that can be completed. I have all the confidence in the world for you, fAB. So Good Luck!
