Tedd Video Game Opinions - 031 - HD

Commentary
To be fair, there's not a whole lot of context I've seen it in. When I have seen it, however, it has been in contexts that I don't even want to repeat here, because NO.
No thank you.
Just to reiterate, all of these have been subjective views about what I and/or the characters would personally enjoy and/or prefer in video games. This is not suggesting all games should do these things.
I mean, I wouldn't complain if they did, but that's beside the point.
The Skipping of Thursday
I wasn't feeling well after the last comic, hence why this goes from Tuesday to Saturday. I'm feeling mostly better now. Well enough that I want to make comics, anyway.
Everyone's really supportive when I'm not feeling well, which I'm truly grateful for. On that note, I want to point out that I'm not ignoring self care by making comics right now. If I feel I need to take another break, I will, but my emotional state is improved via comic makery right now.
That, and I got some ideas for the main story that will seem like I totally had planned all along but totally didn't, and I'm hyped to work on that.

What would the Shive use for visuals? Demon duck, probably. Maybe some well-placed foreground elements.

2021-07-18 01:13:38 +0000 UTCI think Saints Row 3 and 4 did it well. Sure, they could have slapped a pair of briefs on the guys, but then you have the weird implied "mafia/alien bad guy strips them naked, but puts underwear back on them".

2021-07-17 19:35:28 +0000 UTCThere's some literature genres with casual nudity on climate-regulated planets and demi-human species like centaurs and harpies not wearing breast-coverings in their daily life? Again, literature genres - much harder to translate that to visual media ;) ... ... And I just realized that 75% of my examples are written by Piers Anthony... So YMMV

2021-07-17 17:24:51 +0000 UTCOne more thing: Does Tedd have any opinions about your Squirrely Author Avatar making an El Goonish Shive video game? ;) (Yay for Nanase and Ellen solving a Hidden Object Mystery) :)

2021-07-17 17:13:23 +0000 UTCGames for PC/HighDef Consoles vs Games for Mobile/Handheld Devices? Ya Tweet regularly about the former... but I can't identify much you've said about the latter? (I kind of assume your MtG Online Tweets are about a desktop version, my apologies if wrong)

2021-07-17 17:08:34 +0000 UTCHow about game genres that don't get enough respect - and often get flack - because they're perceived as being targeted to feminine people? The Sims went for a long time of being dumped on despite having overwhelming market share. Casual / Hidden Object Mysteries / Clickers... Are visual novels games? ... Just throwing stuff out there. - You rock! :D

2021-07-17 17:06:20 +0000 UTCGlad you are feeling better. Hmm... Should game developers unionize in order to have better mental health and avoid the stress of release-date mandated crunch time? What's your opinion on low-poly and pixel art? Up for drawing Tedd and Grace in low-poly and pixel art styles? :D

2021-07-17 16:09:54 +0000 UTCJust a close-up of the "Angelic Tweeting Bird" strutting around in front of the camera, while risqué dialogue hints at the scenes not being shown. Followed by a week of the same scenes, without the bird, showing that the situations were all entirely innocent and clothed

2021-07-17 15:22:41 +0000 UTCMy big question about nudity in games is *why* it's happening. If it's obvious that it's just there for fanservice, I usually find that pretty off-putting. I mean, I have an internet connection, I can see naked people whenever I want, I don't need it added to a game for no reason. :p But I'm having trouble thinking of a way for there to be nudity and have it be necessary or seem like a natural part of the scene. (Aside from sex scenes, but that's obvious.) Maybe in a game that involves competitive swimming and there's a dramatic confrontation in the showers?

2021-07-17 14:33:29 +0000 UTCJust nudity for the sake of it is generally not bad

2021-07-17 11:17:20 +0000 UTCYeah, the big problem is defining what "nudity done right" is. I think the Sonic Forces "nude mod" that simply [spoiler]~~removes your OCDNS's shoes~~[/spoiler] is one way to do it right, but it may not be what everyone would expect of it.

2021-07-17 09:27:47 +0000 UTCQuick, tag Grace in, she can talk for a week about nudity while being furclad and thus technically SFW!
KiTA
2021-07-17 07:34:29 +0000 UTCJust because every game does it badly doesn't mean it can't be done well. ask yourself, how *would* it work if it was done to your taste? No idea what to do for visuals tho, that's a tricky one.
