Actually, while we're on the topic: It's funny that you all called me out for that, when in all actuality, I'm currently writing a screenplay in which two of the main characters are homosexuals. One guy and one girl. So, obviously that isn't a bothersome case for me. The story deals heavily with sexuality in general. What's weird is that I plan to have it adapted to a video game. Been working on it for eight years now. It's quite amazing, according to all of the feedback I've gotten.

I wish LGBT people were better represented in fiction Often I identify with a female character in a video game or whatever and get disappointed when she falls for a man.

Yeah - I think it was just an overreaction on pretty much everyones' part which is why it blew up so much.
That's pretty interesting. As long as it doesn't end up with the usual "gay stereotypes" I'm quite sure it could work well. Be sure to let us know if the video game plan ever comes to fruition, of course. I'd probably try it out.
Edit:

No, Mini-Moog's (which actually wasn't homophobic after all). Sorry about that

I don't like the stereotype that all lesbians are tomboys and/or butch. I prefer looking very feminine myself Although I'm often attracted to butch girls

I'm more so referring to the typical gay stereotypes you hear about. I'd show an example but.. I heard about it on TVTropes, and if I go there, you won't hear from me again for a long, long time.
I don't really look feminine at all, and I'd rather not. I like being a guy and looking like one

You guys would love the characters I use. I've become quite an expert in sexuality in the past few years (I've researched it heavily). My characters aren't stereotypical at all. I even interviewed a few of my gay friends about how I was going about it, and they were quite impressed.
Actually, the girl in my avatar is the main character (Her name, pun intended, is Minnie Moog), but she's a self-proclaimed asexual. The two people who tag along with her are the boy and girl. The girl is love with her, but she doesn't actually find out until towards the end of the game.
Fortunately the game is mostly a dark comedy, so I get away with making light of a lot of the serious situations while still making my point, so it should be a pretty pleasant experience for those who can stomach how absurd and dark it is.

That seems pretty cool. I'd love to play it if you ever do get it finished and released. What type of game do you plan for it to be?

I've always been an old-school side-scrolling type of guy (Sonic, Kirby, Mario etc.). The game would have 3D graphics, but I want to use a very stylistic approach. It would be completely on a side-scrolling plain and the game would progress level to level (my attempt to bring back that old-school style) with no backtracking. It would combine first-person shooter elements (being able to aim anywhere on screen, etc.), puzzle elements on occasion, small RPG elements here and there, and very fast paced action and platforming. I want the game on the same intensity level the classic Sega Genesis Sonic games had (and notably, my favorite game of all time is Sonic 3 & Knuckles, so the game's progression style is very similar in nature to my game's). However, I'm writing the story to have the emotional level of games such as Mother 3. I've always been a very strong writer, so I'm drafting the entire game as a screenplay right now and have been for two years now (it's 180 something pages and I'm only 3/4 done). I'm a huge fan of surrealist, absurdist, and dark/gothic styles of writing, so the game has a very poetic form of dialogue and I'm pushing the term 'art game' to the edge with a bunch of tricks I have up my sleeves.

That's pretty cool. Not sure about the whole Sonic thing, but it could be fun if it works out well. Good luck with it I'll be sure to try it once you're finished, if I know about it.

I've wanted to code my own game before, but I think for now I'll stick to ROM hacking and level editors
I've always wanted to code my own game as well, but I'm far too uncreative to make anything. I have all the technical skills but I'm downright terrible at graphics and at level design I wish I had those skills.. even just to make ROM hacks.

Originally posted by Dark Witch TerraI'm good with level design (or at least I like to think I am), OK-ish with coding, and horrible with graphics
I don't think I've seen any of your levels.
Usually what happens is that I can make 1-2 good levels - but afterwards I end up just reusing things or having boring levels. I tend to abuse gimmicks/interesting elements to try and make my levels interesting, but I obviously can't keep reusing the same ones.

We've had a few threads going off-topic lately, but this one was still somewhat on topic before the last few posts
Originally posted by Mini-MoogAnd ALL of this is exactly why I could never be gay. THESE Guys are just plain disgusting. I try my best not to act like that. That's just embarrassing and it really gives us a bad name.
Don't get me wrong. I can have a crush via internet. But I try not to act like a damned slob about it. >>; Plus, I don't just randomly flirt with girls I don't know. Do these people not even think about how that girl may feel about that? Or worst case: Do they not realize it may not be a girl (kidding, kidding. I know this isn't worse than the latter)? XD
Yeah, of course they were still a minority ... I just ran into many from playing so much, and all that random messaging (filling the screen in 1 hour) was probably because of my high rank standing out
But still, if they had only known I'm a guy before going "omg a cute girl " on first sight (only a few ever asked) ... and I knew one girl who did the opposite (male character) to avoid that exact thing (I even did a (guest) comic on this)

I prefer rutabagas. They have such a better name. Turnip is seriously so boring. Rutabaga has more syllables and sounds exotic.
I just noticed the link to your hack in your sig. I'll have to take a look at that.
