When it's time to vote on the art style...

Will we be able to vote for not having everything giant sized? For example, if Arcade Stuff wins, can we vote for some normal single player machines that can stand unobtrusively in a corner of a bar room rather than a 4-player space module?

    Art Style can have some influence on the size of objects, but we're really using that vote to determine an overall aesthetic, not as a measuring stick for specific objects within the pack. Using your example, if Arcade were to win... the Art Style vote would set the tone for what the arcade we'd play within might look like, while the Feature vote would actually contain information about what new gameplay objects would be added to the pack.

    Something else to keep in mind is that the Objects & Clothing vote is where you'll be selecting what we call "mimics". A mimic is a type of object that already exists, that we're creating a new visual for. Examples would be a new ottoman, a new sofa, a new dining table, etc. Most of these objects already have their size determined in advance... for instance, an ottoman is always going to be 2x1 in size. I'll be sharing more info about that and how we select/create those objects when we're closer to that vote. The Feature Vote will be a much better place to define new gameplay objects, and to gather feedback on points that are important to the community - such as the size of the object.

    Thank you for clarifying that, @SimGuruGraham. I'm looking forward to the Feature vote already!.
