LIGHTNINGLORD2'S PROFILE

I second this. Maybe with a less difficult to read font next time. Also, more time to make the game so there can be more content.

Heroes may always save the day, but villains always live to take over the world next week.

A suggestion for the style of the game - represent the quiz as a boss battle where you have a stylized player character. Getting questions right makes you inflict damage based on how quickly you answered, wrong answers mean the boss attacks, dealing more damage on consecutive wrong answers (and higher base damage on higher difficulty tiers). Reaching the next tier of questions means you get a refill on HP and fight the next boss. Also, the Lifelines would be based on FF spells:

Fire: Destroys two wrong answers.
Break: Destroys the question, putting a different one in place.
Cure: Restore a few HP.
Stop: Freezes the time limit on the question (Don't use this if you don't have a time limit).
Summon: A random eidolon will attempt the question. They'll either know the answer, assume one or more answers or have no idea.

Those Lifelines won't be restored on the next level.

It's Catty from Undertale. She and Bratty, along with Burgerpants, are my favorite vendors from that game.

That's literally half of the vendors in the game.

I need someone with writing experience to evaluate if my idea for bonding scenes is good - basically, you find unique marked spots that trigger a skit involving two characters (which you have to have in your party for). I planned to have one for each character pair among 16 playable characters, which equals 110 dialogues in total. This sounds like an amount I can handle, but can anyone confirm if it is reasonably doable?

Well, only the first article writer specifically chooses to call out media that lack representation. However, I do agree with you on two fronts in that enforcing something is not only prepesterous on it's own, it's also not going to accomplish representation.

But I'd sooner take a request on more PoC characters than, say, writing a different style of story: While writing a different genre requires me to do a lot of reading, studying and understanding, I can make the main character of my game PoC by simply changing the color palette (or simply write a story around an existing PoC).

I would like to share several articles about erasure of marginalized people and why it's important for them to be featured. It's these kind of stories why I bothered making such a topic in the first place. By the way, I just looked on this and the next page of the Game Design forum; this is the only topic about representation of marginalized people in games.
