So?
We need percentages and quotas now?
In any case, if it was needed so badly, they should have just made a new character and see if it sticks, not literally gaybeam a long standing playboy.

I get your point. I really do, but who wants to be represented by a French Canadian? Albeit the least annoying one ever, but still......

First, nobody's that gay. Unless you don't count fear boners. Secondly, the next writer would probably turn your well thought out, multidimensional character who happens to be gay into a gay character who's only thing is being gay.

Why does any X-men character need to be gay in any given period?
Pretty sure Anole existed and was out before Bobby got Bendis'd. He did say "of the period", though, which...I'm not sure why that matters.

Still better than turning well thought out, multidimensional straight character into a gay character who's only thing is being gay.
I still hate Tim Drake coming out as
The franchise’s overarching theme of being hated and feared for who and what you are naturally lends itself to many marginalized experiences, from the original civil rights allegory and later including those of the LGBTQ+ community. Over time, both readers and creators have embraced and deepened these parallels, making the X-Men a lasting symbol of the fight against all forms of discrimination.
...Which makes it really weird when they're all straight, on top of the heavy lean for most of the franchise's existence on a white cast punctuated by fantastical blue and green people to the near-exclusion of people of color who were often overshadowed or short lived when they did appear. This has improved, with more and more iconic characters being PoC or LGBTQ+, whether they were originally written that way or adapted into it.
Basically, if diversity and acceptance in the face of discrimination is a theme, maybe there should be some in the cast beyond how unique their superpowers are.

They've tried that. It always fails.
Female Null is something we want in the future. Bi/gay Null is something I know I wouldn't mind to have in the future.
I'll pass it onto the dev team.
Does anyone knows which files is making this calculation ? I want to increase considerably the numbers so i can make early game the wardrobe, and be done with it for the whole game .
I checked on the /scripts/base/clothing.rpy file and the game/scripts/clothing folder, and didn't find the trust/love value.
waiting for kitty is painful but i know it's better to wait she looks adorable

I'm sticking with academic, because every time he gets his ass kicked, he learns something new. At heart, he's clearly very academic.
Honestly, I think the most recent iteration that kinda middle-grounds Claremont's intent and the Azazel concept works well enough. There's at least more precedent for it compared to some retroactive sexuality changes (which I don't personally take issue with, but that's an off-topic matter). I think the only part of it I take issue with is the "why", but that's more a gripe with how writers use Destiny herself at the end of the day.
Just tossing an idea out for consideration:
In an effort to subvert the melodrama surrounding the canon retcon singularity, have Azazel just be some guy they happened to know/have met & thought was hot, and a night of shapeshifting roleplay went a little too right. Keeps the basics of the incident without the weirdness of the prophecies as an excuse. Just people being people. Also avoids any concerns of infidelity with regard to the characters - not that Mystique being in a closed relationship has really ever been a thing, lest we forget the much more concerning Foxx incident...... Which would be fucked up to be the target of in-game, though a little funny when considering how so many players seem to run into cheating issues as is
In a cosmic sense, of course.Not expecting this idea to stick, of course. Y'all take whatever direction you think best fits the intended narrative - plus, there's some time before that'll even become relevant in-game, I'd wager. Tossing out pennies, etc.
kitty pryde is a cutie always i wonder if you guys will do magik since we have colosuss
It's been speculated, but never confirmed.
EDIT: Though talk about needing Dick Therapy........
The code has changed since I've posted that.
./base/clothing.rpy:31
Code:
define public_shame_multiplier = 4.0
define exercise_shame_multiplier = 2.5
define private_shame_multiplier = 0.4
Code:
if flag in ["public", "date"]:
if approval_check(self.Owner, threshold = public_shame_multiplier*hypothetical_Outfit.shame):
proceed = True
elif flag in ["exercise", "swim"]:
if approval_check(self.Owner, threshold = exercise_shame_multiplier*hypothetical_Outfit.shame):
proceed = True
elif approval_check(self.Owner, threshold = private_shame_multiplier*hypothetical_Outfit.shame):
proceed = True
Code:
def approval_check(Character, flavor = None, threshold = None, extra_condition = None, multiplier = 1.0, not_found_value = (0, 0)):
if not isinstance(Character, CompanionClass):
return 0
if flavor is None:
value = Character.love + Character.trust
Code:
elif isinstance(threshold, float) or isinstance(threshold, int):
if value + 0.0*abs(renpy.random.gauss(0, stat_sigma)) < multiplier*threshold:
return Falseif
love + trust + (0.0 * abs(renpy.random.gauss(0, stat_sigma))) (don't know why that last part is there. 0.0 times anything is still zero. Programming language math still follow PEMDAS. ShinyBoots1993 , might want to point that out to ronchonbon . It won't affect anything unless renpy's random number generator is costly, which sometimes is the case, but it's better to not have these calculations if possible.)
is less than
shame_type_multiplier * outfit_shamethe outfit is rejected.
If you remember your inequality math, the equation is pretty much the same.
love + trust < multiplier * outfit_shameIf you divide both sides by the multiplier, you need to change the direction of the inequality.
(love + trust) / multiplier > outfit_shameAnd 1/4 (1 / public shame multiplier) = 0.25 and 1/2.5 (1 / exercise shame multiplier) is the same as 4/10 which 0.4.
This has been your reminder to thank your high school math teacher.

It's hard to peg down an exact development cycle but it's usually a month or 2 between big updates (and then a bunch of minor updates fixing things through out that month). I think the longest period between updates was almost 3 months? It probably depends on what content they are working on.
The big updates are not always full seasons, it could also be fleshing out the various systems of the game like clothing, dating, sex. (adding new clothing, new sex positions, new dialogue).
To sum up they are pretty good at keeping a decent pace of releasing content.
