To be fair I'm biased, since I'm autistic and a part of that specific community, but I think it'd be a neat addition if you were to ever update or expand on this experience!Ībsolutely wonderful overall, really good with explanations, and the artwork is so good. There's a good deal of obscure history relating to them, and they're also connected to queer ND people (and especially a lotta autistic folks!). this game was made for the GEMS class at UCLA, run by professor danny snelson, but it was also made for myself. On a side note, something that could've been interesting to add in would've been explaining neopronouns, or mentioning zenogenders, as those things are often treated quite poorly and many don't know what the actual purpose and reason behind their existence are. 'whats your name' is a semi-fictional visual novel about my name change process - the paperwork i had to file, the people i had to talk to, the time i had to wait. Fortunately, my suspicions about it were correct, and the whole point of that part WAS to throw some for a loop, and show how gender overall is far more than just going through a colored door that's been assigned to a specific group by society. snowflake-snowsql snwe soapui socket-io-tester sococo soda-player soduto. I actually felt even a tad ashamed that something as simple as pink and blue doors in a digital art piece made me genuinely freak out internally. iswiff isyncr itau itch iterm2 ithoughtsx itk-snap itools itrash itsycal. I think that I've become so used to digital spaces being where I can truly express my ideal self to where the idea of having to do those same things in this "safe environment" actually DOES get to me.

I have to say that, even though irl I'm pretty mentally indifferent about having to go to spaces meant for women if given a "man or woman" option, like bathrooms, for some reason that beginning genuinely made me lock up. Some will have romantic potential, others friendship potential, based on those sliders.Honest to god I saw this game, thought it was just an abstract walking sim titled "what's your gender", and immediately was like "yeah that about sums it up honestly," but I now see it's actually NOT just a playful "yknow sometimes being nonbinary just means feeling like a glowing tree" and it's ACTUALLY a semi-informational art piece about gender and how gender is perceived.Įdit: Just finished the game, holy shit. This wont be a game where every single NPC wants to get in your pants.

The other slides will help determine if an NPC would be interested in you in a romantic way, because the NPCS have their OWN preferences. Now, Social is the ONLY slider that affects whether a date is successful or not.

Second one will allow random chance (and has best chance of overall success), where as last would be if you going for the Friendship route Where as the third option would be more submissive in nature. The first option would lock you into the Paternal roll, and your chances will be purely if the date rolls being in a Maternal state of mind Start to reach for her hand, but pull back. Lean forward and attempt to give her a kiss You want to give the date as much of a success as you want, and you are certain that the business woman likes to be dominate. There may be a romantic reason for being on the date, or a story driven reason. Lets again use the dominating foxy business woman.

There might be a roll to see how well you pulled that off though, and the date would have to be in a Paternal state of mind to be receptive to it. If you choose to be submissive (or maternal) in the date, thats your choice regardless what the dice would have rolled. What you CANT control is how the NPC is feeling at the time. If you are on a date you can absolutely choose whether to be submissive, dominate, or somewhere in between (as in let the dice fall where they may) the dice doesn't determine what your character wants to do, that's entirely up to you.
