Currently testing the game.

First interaction has a character misgendering another character. I put the game down after that.

Here’s the thing. I’m conflicted between seeing through a commitment (testing your game) and contributing to something that I’m not ok with. I can’t tell if this is going be a theme, or if this is one misguided joke. If it’s the latter, please reconsider the interaction. I could explain why it’s bad, if that’s necessary.

Could it be a typo? [have not played, so just guessing]

No, it’s the setup of a joke. It’s intentional, but I’m trying to assess the exact intent, prevalence and whether this is something the authors are willing to reconsider.

I played the demo and really liked it.
Was just a funny game with a very silly plot. To each its own as far as sense of humor goes, but I didn’t find anything offensive there at all. Also, if we’re talking about the same situation - at the reception - it’s not misgendering and you should really play further.

P.S. This game seem to be making fun of lot of stuff, but I just found a bunch of silliness and lots of nostalgia (set in the 80s).
The demo is available on Steam, I believe. I’m definitely looking forward to the game.

Hi all,

As @Dcast mentioned the situations in this game are silly and contain a lot of 80’s throwbacks, so the idea is to amuse without ofcourse insulting anyone.

This is also one of the reasons for doing the beta anyway; we need feedback from people with different views, so on the contrary @vegetable party we really hope that you continue the testing as you are the first one who gave us this comment and this is what we want, new opinions.

As for the particular joke comment, noted with thanks (it also has to do with the real identity of the person which is revealed later in the game), and we are already considering alternative texts to avoid any confusion.

with all due respect Vegetable-Party, you know these (awkward) days people are viewing and reacting to offensive remarks in manners that overthrow deaths and diseases or even children abuse, its crazy, so maybe you should have dealt with your concerns privately with the people who gave an early access to their game. you wouldn’t wanna bury their game or even them themselves.

I’m not overthrowing anything. I think I was quite civil. Perhaps you find it difficult to deal with ‘modern’ issues and would rather live in a world where you’re not confronted with these notions at all. I don’t want to annoy you, but I have different priorities.

The problem is not so much being offended. Certain things are problematic, meaning they contribute negatively to an existing situation. Addressing this is first and foremost practical - to solve problems, rather than to invent them, as you seem to think.

Don’t just bring up heavy topics to make a point. You have no idea if these issues affect me personally, so it’s not very respectful. It also undercuts your point.

So.. I think I kind of needed to address this, because of all the comments, but I have no intention of hijacking this thread! I’m not mad either, so I hope we can be cool. I’m glad Dionous reached out to me. If anything, I do hope this becomes a succes.

Time for a new philosophical thread discussing if actual age is too politically correct?

And good luck with the game!!!
