Popularity Contest Cancelled - No new brides, but you can still vote!

[JessMini]

We were informed today by the original developer that the re-skin of characters is no longer an option. They are concerned that allowing us to have exclusive content will impact their product over in JP (which is fully understandable). Therefore, we are no longer able/ allowed to run the popularity contest as advertised until now. Instead we will try our best to compensate you for the trouble once the event ends and make sure the winners will have a special treatment going forward. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and fully understand decisions such as tracking us down, searching for our addresses and so on... Please understand however that this is their title and we can only run it by accepting their terms.

Looks like someone changed their mind, we won't be getting any new brides at all. The popularity contest is pretty much null and void now. Sucks for the people who have been spending money/gems on voting for their favourite girl, but yeah. Don't do that anymore.

Don't actually expect to be compensated though, or you'll be disappointed like after the stamina bug. Expect nothing = never be disappointed!

Meh probably they will release special gacha just to compensate the vote winners.

But nothing value is lost, since we all should vote for Nazuna.

"We were informed today by the original developer that the re-skin of characters is no longer an option. They are concerned that allowing us to have exclusive content will impact their product over in JP"

I don't understand. Wouldn't the JP players be getting the re-skins from the NA contest winners? Kind of like how we are going to get the contest winners from the JP version? I don't see why they had to cancel the NA contest. It made it sound as if our participation in such an event is a bad thing.

That was my impression too, that the JP players would get our brides eventually. Sounds like someone altered the deal

[JessMini]

Their reason for cancelling the contest: "They are concerned that allowing us to have exclusive content will impact their product over in JP".

We don't have any exclusive content, nor will we be getting any exclusive content. The brides were going to be released on all servers eventually. So their reason for cancelling the contest is either a lie or someone's mistaken. In any case, we don't know why they've cancelled it yet other than "because we want to".

Jokes aside, the explanation doesn't mesh with our understanding of what the original deal was. Might just be another case of DMM not really giving a damn about us Nutaku players. Maybe they're TRYING to push us into going over to their site.

Your such a downer. Here i was going to say it's because it's simply due to less work on their part but...I've played MWA. Based on the track record for the developers of that game for the Nutaku version...It's possible we'll have another Aigis on our hands. Let's just hope they don't change the rules midway again.

Nice joke and reference though.

[A Time to Screw]

Pretty much every Nutaku game has always gotten the short end of the stick compared to their JP counterpart. Either because of Nutaku's usual incompetence or the JP devs not caring as much about their foreign counterpart (since the foreign version is most likely much less profitable for them).

• Aigis is a shitshow that continues to lack/missing/alter content.
• Kanpani is frozen in time.
• LoV (As well as DT:M and duel Squad) got shutdown.
• Hitsuji and Angelic Saga are walking corpses.
• Girls Kingdom is a buggy mess

If this pattern continues, FKG is at risk of slowing down/ getting less support as well, just like other Nutaku games.

As usual, if the Nutaku version was profitable enough, they would've gone through the trouble to keep the reskin contest up. The total amount of votes in our version though, compare to DMM's voting event is as different as night and day. The DMM poll votes at the end of it all totaled millions upon millions of votes (Orchid alone had about 6 mil if I remember, with 2nd and 3rd place being comparably high). Our version through the midway point had votes around 100,000s at best.

We didn't have enough people spending money compared to their JP version to justifying them rehiring the busy artists again just for our version, when they have their own version to worry about, simple as that

Probably means they'll just stick the winners in some priority gacha or something :/

Now I really want to see a 3* or 2* win just to see how they'd even begin to handle that. And yeah, I'm not holding my breath on any "compensation" after the stamina bug thing.

[JessMini]

Here's how I've understood it:

Flower Knight Girl developers make the game.
DMM release it to Japan.
Nutaku releases it to the rest of the world.

At the start of the event:
Flower Knight Girl developers told Nutaku that they would get 3 new brides.
Nutaku told us that we would get 3 new brides.

Today:
Flower Knight Girl developers told Nutaku today that we would not get any new brides. (reasons unknown as of this time)
Nutaku is blamed, at least initially. We'll see how things progress from here, although being honest I sincerely doubt we'll ever know why they cancelled the whole thing. We'll probably just be compensated and be on our way.
