Acceptable Subjects in Games?

TechnoGoth · 2005-12-10T23:55:52

There are a lot of subjects that are often considered taboo and because of this I’m trying to decide what subjects are not a good idea to include in the anime school sim I’m working on. The game takes place at a high school with students aged 13-18. My goal is to make the game as personalized to user intended experience as possible. But at the same make the game acceptable and suitable for both teens and adults. I don’t plan to include nudity, graphic violence, rape, or drug use but I am curious about how people would react to other aspects such as: 1) Being able to pursue relationships with members of either sex. 2) Sex (no actual sex scenes) 3) Cross dressing Are there other subjects that you would feel would not be appropriate to this type of game? And does it make a difference if it is implied or explicit? What would your reaction if after pursing a girl for half the game you discover that she is actually a man? Would it bother you to see a have to interact with a same sex couple?

3 shouldn't bother anyone, since it's an anime style game.

I'm glad you said that because I was thinking of FF7 when I saw this post. In one of the missions Cloud has to get womens clothes and win a fashin show in order to capture a bad guy. I never thought anything of it, and still don't. Of course, just don't over do it though. If you don't make it a focus point of the game or the most noticable thing, you should be fine.
