Hello everyone, and welcome to the third edition of the CCC Survey.

For those who will stumble on this post without any knowledge of the CCC, I highly recommend checking at least one of them to give you an idea but put it simply, it’s a creative contest where artists have to do sprites/portraits of certain Fire Emblem characters in the GBA style under a time limit to expand the Fire Emblem Repository, where all free to use assets for making GBA style Fire Emblem content is compiled.

If you are wondering why I’m making this post, it’s because I wish that together we can improve this concept based on your opinions, because the community is integral to the CCC, keeping it alive, and I couldn’t thank enough everyone who contributes and continues to support it.
If none of the options in a poll satisfy you, feel free to write and develop your own answer by replying to this post.
You’ll be able to vote until the 30th of April (2025).
