Reading the comics will help. A user named buttholder posted a pretty good primer/reading list in the discord

I've never read the comics (they didn't circulate here back then), so all I know about x-men was from the evo cartoon, way back then. If I remember right, she can snap and kick our shit in, so ominous is fitting lmao.
Yes the dev team has said if they got speaking roles, they would have an accent.
Would you be willing to consult? I'm sure you could help us make it less stereotypical than what the comics did.
This goes out to pretty much anyone who would be willing to assist with characters such as Nightcrawler and Colossus.
The 90s cartoon is actually more representative as we're attempting to steer away from Evolution and more into comics.
1. We want it to be readable for most people. Even I have trouble with Kurt and I helped write him
2. While I personally don't care if some people dislike it, someone disagreed with Rogue's accent, I rather not turn off an entire demographic of potential players.

People really had problems with understanding Kurt? When i played the demo i understood him just fine. The same with Rogue. I wouldn't put that on some special skills...

I only remember one person disliking Rogue's accent, and they were claiming to be from the southern US while making demonstrably false claims about southern accents. IIRC, other people called him on this, tried to give him an opportunity to clarify in case he was being misunderstood, and then he doubled down and eventually just said your writing would be shit if you kept writing her that way and left. I've lived in five southern states, and while I'd agree her accent would be wrong if you're just going for a more generic southern accent, the type of accent you've used for Rogue (and that is usually canonically used or described that she uses) is pretty common in certain types of places in some parts of the south, and Rogue is from one of those types of places. Even in the discussion that came up previously, I think people mentioned having known people who speak that way.
As far as stereotypical southern accents go, one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced after many years of wondering how TV and film southern accents can be so wrong when there are so many that it seems like it would almost work better if they just mashed up a bunch different southern accents into one technically incorrect and kinda bad but still almost accurate one, was traveling through Montana and Idaho. Almost everyone I met there spoke with what seemed like a really bad stereotypical southern accent. It was kinda surreal

I just notice that Rogue uses a Nine Inch Nails t-shirt, either the artist or the dev who solicited this is a person of culture.

NIN's music has been popular for around 30 years and they've long been an easy band to reference in other media. And ever since X-men Evolution, its been fandom headcanon that Rogue would listen to them, as evidenced by this piece, that I think dates back to the early 2000s.
Hell, there were early discussions in this very thread about her tastes in music and NIN was one of the first bands mentioned, it's as much a no-brainer as everyone assuming Wolverine's drink of choice is Jack and Coke. Some things just fit

Skynyrd is the other obvious one I'd think.
Speaking of Trent's hard-drinking tourmates of the time I'd be shocked if she didn't have any Type O Negative or Pantera in her collection somewhere. Ditto for Ministry or Sisters of Mercy. Maybe Bauhaus too or even Siouxsie and the Banshees.

I'd add Joy Division, the Cure, and Sonic Youth to that list. Maybe Daughters, Iceage, Death Grips, or Black Country New Road if for something a little more recent, but that's iffy.

He's a much easier guy to deal with but we are still very comic book based. Just '95 influenced.
I'm glad. We have several plans for further laughter.
I think this first demo release was a pretty good thingNot making that mistake again lmao
Once we get in a few releases we'll start doing roadmaps and stuff but we tried doing release dates and release windows and it backfired on us. We are grateful for how forgiving the community has been on that though!
It really was like 6 months with no updates, and it really did seem that it was become vaporware
All I'm saying is, I'ma come knocking again in November
