Sexuality and Diversity in games
Dimensions of 2 or 3?
Frankly I think going commercial might be a bad idea because it would add a;lot of pressure; I vote for the part-time job. Making signs and logos for clients on commission might be a good way to use Krisanna's art skills. I'm going to try singing "Light of the Sun" again . . .once i figure out how to get the best results from my mike.

author=arghThis. Though so far the models are adorable. The question is whether you can get the facial deformation right to cover the expressions without losing the feel. However I could definitely see the 3d ones using anime facial expressions such as >_< and the sweatdrop.
I agree with Skie that the expressiveness of the models is important -- the 2D facesets were incredibly expressive and gave the characters a lot of personality. It'd be a shame to see that go if you can only afford to make stiff, blocky models.

@Irili:
author=IriliFrankly I'd ditch the "screw you." If a person doesn't like the game, they don't have to play it, but feedback is important. And while in most cases we don't cater to a specific audience other than perhaps those who share our interests, that may vary.
So we can and SHOULD say "Screw you, if you don't like my game, don't play it."
author=kannaopheliaWhy not make Connie specifically Aboriginal then, or, at least imply it through dialogue, food choices, etc? You might lose a bit of flexibility but give a voice to the underrepresented by doing so...
By "brown", I'm being purposely non-specific, but it may or may not be worth mentioning that in my head Connie is Aboriginal (Australian). While my family is white-Chinese, my friends' kids deserve to see themselves in games, too, and the lack of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander characters is striking even (especially) in Australian games.

I'm all for inclusiveness. Just forge ahead as you will and let the screams of the annoyed fall on deaf ears. IF Connie's Aboriginal, perhaps find ways to emphasize this somehow-maybe she references her family history or something. (Frankly I suppose it's way past time I actually took some of my plots involving gay protagonists and gave them flesh.)
Winterfest project too late to submit....
Since this is an RMN-only event, the judges might be willing to grandfather your game in if you ask nicely. There's no harm in asking . ..
