Should I make a patreon? I doubt there is that much love for the novel yet.

Yes

The game looks good.

Never mind, it seems a bit racist.

I noticed that too.
Thank God someone else said it first.

Dear developer.
First of all, I'm not calling you racist or any of that crappy finger-pointing bullshit.
And I have no problem with using the word "<removed>" in a game or a story in general. Either the black character's can address each other by that, or a non-black character can take the word and weaponize it against them. All that's perfectly fine in story telling.
But when the black characters are literally NAMED "<removed>", "<removed>2" and "<removed>3"... Then it becomes a statement from the game itself (ie the writer) rather than it coming from the characters. The game is telling the reader that this is what the black characters ARE. That they ARE "<removed>s". Which is... unfortunate. So I would change that, if I were you.
Just a thought. You don't have to do anything you don't want to.

Okay...
I'll get off my high horse now... Wow! I can almost see my house!

Ain't gonna lie, I was wondering what was wrong when the teens are calling themselves N-1, 2, 3. Considered them pushing the envelop on what's clearly a live broadcast. Along with sexually harassing Terry (this one doesn't seem out of the norm considering what the Mom character goes through in the Dev's other game though not to this extent... so far). Then I realized the sort of problem when the game renamed them as such. Of course if the dev want to go that route, fine by me. Writer vision and all.

Mind you, there are exceptions where a white person or another ethnic group can say it and not be racist. But that only involves the character in question having an extensive backstory of having grown up within a black community or be trusted to say within a group of black friends (and that usage stays within there). But no one ain't gonna believe that once it pops up within a story due to the perception/general reality.

Edit: Aaaand just saw a black character that behaves nothing like those punks not so long after Terry's encounter. So far it seems like this wasn't a statement about how black people act... But we have to wait and see.

LMAO @ these white people saying who can use the N-word and who can't It's fiction, let the writer write what he wants. It's his story. Dev continue with your vision, when is the next update?
