Hello, this is BrownDust2.
We are releasing the results of the 1st Anniversary Update Satisfaction Survey that was conducted last month!
First of all, we would like to thank all the users from around the world who responded to the survey.
I hope this provides us an opportunity to understand what other users of BrownDust2 thought about our game.
Additionally, we are sharing a message from the development team that reviewed your survey results.
Please be sure to check the messages from the development team included throughout the survey!
■ 1st Anniversary Update Satisfaction Survey Result
1. Please select the Brown Dust series you are playing or familiar with.
2. Please select the average number of games you play daily.
<Development Team Comment>
We are thoroughly impressed that 16% of our users play only BrownDust2.
Almost half of our users play two or more games, and the proportion of those who enjoy four or more games has also exceeded 30%.
Seeing this, we have reignited our commitment to considering the efforts and thoughts of our users.
3. Please select your daily average playtime for Brown Dust 2.
<Development Team Comment>
"We have been considering reducing the routine or "homework" playtime to under 5 minutes,
however, we found that users who play for over 30 minutes are about 6 times more numerous than those who play for less than 30 minutes."
Additionally, over 30% of our users play for more than an hour, which is something we are concerned about.
We expect that once the update for the Mirror Wars' Blood Cocktail consumption settings is released, daily playtime will become shorter.
4. Please select the time frame in which you mainly play Brown Dust 2.
<Development Team Comment>
Upon analyzing the time periods when users mostly play, it was found that across all regions, the most common time for playing is between 8 PM and 10 PM.
It was also notable that the next highest time period was between 8 AM and 10 AM,
which is likely due to office workers or university students playing during their commute.
5. Please rate your overall satisfaction with the 1st Anniversary update.
6. Please check the time required for the daily required activities (homework play) in Brown Dust 2.
<Development Team Comment>
We previously discussed concerns about 'homework play' and the survey results show that most users feel the current amount of required daily play is appropriate.
Opinions that it is 'too long' were 16%, while those who felt it is 'too short' were around 10%.
Additionally, in the survey regarding the content provided on a bi-weekly basis, over 70% of our users felt it was 'appropriate',
while opinions that it was 'too little' and 'too much' were similarly around 10%.
From these results, it can be understood that BrownDust2 users find both the current 'homework play' and bi-weekly content to be appropriate.
7. Please check if the content available over a season (2 weeks) in Brown Dust 2 is sufficient.
8. Please check the average monthly spending on mobile games.
9. Please check the preference for subculture.
10. Please check which Story Pack you enjoyed playing the most.
<Development Team Comment>
Story Pack 13, 'Song of Snow,' received the highest number of responses, followed by Story Pack 8, 'Bloody Rhapsody.'
We believe that if the survey had been conducted after the update of Story Pack 14, it would have ranked higher as well.
Based on the narrative continuing from Packs 13 and 15, we will work hard to prepare and present Story Pack 15.
11. Please check which Character Pack you enjoyed playing the most.
<Development Team Comment>
In the Character Pack survey, '6. Tales of Sword ' and '1. Jayden's Gate' received the highest rankings.
However, it was disappointing that the 'None' option was selected by 20% of respondents.
Since Character Packs are set in a parallel universe, we acknowledge that the narrative of the characters is weaker compared to the Story Packs.
We are considering ways to connect the lore between Character Packs in the future.
12. Please check the overall satisfaction with the content of the Tower of Pride in the Evil Castle.
13. We are considering improvements to the Tower of Pride in the Evil Castle. Please check the desired direction for improvements.
* No resets for scores and rankings every season - Automatically receive rewards each season based on the achieved score
14. Please check the overall satisfaction with Mirror Wars.
15. We are considering improvements for the Mirror Wars. Please check the desired direction for improvements.
16. Please choose what you would like to see as new content in the future.
<Development Team Comment>
It was impressive to see that the direction users want and the direction of the development team are considering are quite aligned.
We are carefully reviewing all types of content while considering the efforts users put in.
After the updates for the Tower of Salvation and Guild Raid, we plan to update the main combat content with a slight delay.
We will provide more details once the next content is more concretely planned.
17. Please check the costume style you most hope to see released.
<Development Team Comment>
It was surprising that the hot spring outfit outperformed both the bunny girl and swimsuit outfits to achieve the highest ranking.
Consequently, the art team immediately held a meeting, for ideas about various styles, including a traditional yukata and towel-based outfit, and are currently being developed.
Since the costumes planned for this year are already somewhat designed, we cautiously estimate that the hot spring outfits might be introduced by early next year.
