We're conducting a demographics survey in my intro to video game design course. I'd greatly appreciate if you could take this survey for me:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VZWJW3B

Thanks!

Baron

Done!  It's only 60 seconds folks, so get in there an help a brother out. :)

Mandle

Done! One thing though, there is no option for "I mostly/only play free games" in the question about when/how you buy games.

monkey424

Done. I was about to put $0 for annual expenditure on games but then recalled paying some amount for the recent AGS bake sale. I vaguely remember it was around $5 or something. I'm ashamed I didn't pay more. :-[

That honestly hadn't occurred to me. I tried to make the survey as broad as possible, while still geared toward "gamers". I'll make note of the feedback to the class as well.

I greatly appreciate the feedback from everyone. We have somewhat of a competition going in the class, so every response is appreciated! :=


Adeel

Done! :smiley:

When asked: "When are you most likely to buy a game?", I proudly answered: "Never/When someone else buys it for me" :=

Done Monkey's Survey Monkey Survey..thing

Interestingly I can tell right away that i've almost completely moved to digital downloads rather than retail copies purely for convenience.


Stupot

Done. Do you want us to share it on Facebook and stuff for more results?

Done!  ~10 hours a week, wish it was 50+.

Intense Degree

Done.

I only wish some of the answers could have been higher!

If you don't mind, that would be awesome!

Which questions, specifically? Hours spent playing? Because I doubt anyone actually spends over $9000 every year on gaming. :P

Also, if you're interested you can view the responses from the first 100 people surveyed* (sorry, I can't afford a premium account!): here.

*But still, for the purposes of the class, the more people that actually take the survey, the better.

Only 23% do physical sports? C'mon guys, get off that couch and do something ;)

Getting a soda from the fridge is doing something. :tongue:

By the way monkey, is that design course you're taking focused on adventure games specifically?
Not to spoil the fun, but if it isn't, you should probably get as many non-AGS people as you can to take the survey and balance out the results a bit. Because with adventure games in the lead like that, I think you're hardly getting a very representative picture at the moment. ;-D
Hmm..it's kinda steep. But with a sled I can slide down the slope.

But I thought everyone's clocks stopped in 1991...8-0

No, no, I meant my answers rather than the available options, as in I wish I could spend more time and money on games! :-D

Adeel

I noticed that my "other" answers were cut, for some reason.

monkey0506

Adeel, I don't believe you were in the first 100 responses. SurveyMonkey only displays those results on my free account. The overall number is still shown though, so that's what our class will take into account this afternoon.

I know posting the survey here may have skewed my results, but I'll see how it ranks up against others as well, which should give us an idea of how extreme the bias is.

Fair enough.

Good luck!

That's why I choose not to reply that question, since none of the options applied...
I do wonder that you gave the option of 0$ in the previous question, but overlook that possibly in the next question. ;)
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Hi Monkey_05_06.

All done.
Phew! That was hard.;)

Yours.

I understand it could be useful to have a distinction for "I only play free games", but the option of "[I] Never [buy games]" is hardly overlooking spending $0/yr. ;)

Also, seems I misunderstood the teacher on when we are checking the results. That will be on this coming Tuesday, so if you haven't taken it yet please do! :)
