Do you think people would play this? Without giving away too much about what the game is about nor revealing more than I've already shown, it's essentially a game where you play as a detective with your ex-con anarchist psuedo-assistant solving the case of where a drug supply (Nixie) is coming from your local neighbourhood. It narratively does a lot with the urban and suburban setting, with social and political commentary along the way.
It's part-political, it has a mostly black cast and I think it's fun and has a lot of heart.
What can often discourage me from working on it is knowing how "gamers" are, I guess. They see politics or black people and get on edge. It can be difficult to stick to your convictions, when you know in your heart if your project doesn't adhere to the 'weeb bait' then it probably won't see the light of day.
This has been a passion project of mine forever, and I'm essentially just asking... is this a project worth pursuing? I'd like to think it is, but there are little moments where I question the purpose of dumping a lot of my money and resources into a black project that nobody will fund.
Just some nonsensical ramblings. That's all.
