Social Justice in BitVenture...


So as you may already know, you can create your own avatar which will be used throughout the game. When I started I had a few races (not human races, but Orcs/Dwarves/Humans), and I wanted each race to have skin colors. I also wanted gender, but I don’t think it’s very appropriate to have a specific set considering the large amount of gender identities, and I have limited space for the choices. So gender’s out. But I’d like skin colors to stay, because it’d be a cool way to have different types of the races. Say, red-skinned orcs & dark-skinned humans live near the “equator” of the world (based on this), but just as there are too many gender identities there are too many skin colors, and anything I implement would offend those I exclude.

Now the issue comes up w/ overly light/dark skin. They don’t work w/ the art. Too dark or light and they don’t show up properly w/ the world’s art, so from a strictly design perspective it’d be a bad choice to include them. But I really hate the idea of omitting this b/c of that.

So I’d like some suggestions. If I’m being offensive, I apologize, but I’m genuinely concerned about this and I want as many happy players as possible, so help me out yeah?

Here’s a quick reference on how the avatar customization screen looks:

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
