Poll Results + Important Info About Signalis Concept

Hello, everyone!

Two weeks ago, we set up a poll to allow you to vote for a future concept. Well, the results are now in! Here they are: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AqT0ISEKxNCIXDuevn…

The development of this poll has been very interesting to observe. For the first few days, Hotline Miami absolutely trumped all the other options by dozens of votes, with Original Chapter being a close second. However, Outlast would very gradually catch up to it, beating it by a couple dozen votes. Following the release of our latest teaser, the poll had received an additional spike in votes, most of which went to Hotline Miami, making it just THREE votes away from winning.

And with all that being said, the winner of the poll is... Outlast! It's not a totally surprising choice, though I personally was pretty convinced something like Terminator would take the cake, or that there would be more demand for a Predator Spotlight. Regardless, we have actually already started some very early planning for Outlast, and while thinking of a good killer and power was very difficult, we managed to come up with something that I think is actually extremely unique, and should make both fans and non-fans happy.

Now for the other, less fun part of this post. Our latest teaser trailer for Signalis hasn't been doing well. In fact, it is the worst performing concept thus far by a very significant margin, having below average views for this channel, which is a first for a DBD concept video. While I very much expected the teaser to not perform as well as some of the other videos given the lower popularity of the game, I did not expect a difference this extreme, and hoped that the new cinematic format would bring more people in.

Because of this, I have made the decision for the team to not pursue the concept at this time. This doesn't mean it's cancelled entirely, however we will instead be prioritizing the winner of the poll, Outlast, as I believe it is a more worthwhile project. This means that a Spotlight for Signalis will come out at a much later date, either some time after the Outlast concept or after my own personal concept(s) that I would make once WheatDraws, one of DBDCCT's core members, had made his previously announced departure.
