This news is amazingly appreciated.

I've tried to do my best and include as many walks of life/conditions/identities as I felt I could reliably and faithfully bring to life in a story, things that tend to be sensitive and under-represented but also require a degree of care and caution when undertaking. I talk to a lot of people who have the conditions I write about. For our trans character, my sister is actually married to a trans girl, and I've spent hours and hours chatting with her about what dysphoria feels like, the types of things they think about and worry over that some of us might not consider, etc. 

In writing our main character Aurum, I also wrote him to be the friend these people have always needed. I know many people assume this is a "game" and that they'll have a degree of control over the character's future, but I try to view the characters as real people, and our players are not going to have the option to bully the character toward whatever preference they may have. Rather, you get to play the person they've always needed to support their needs and dreams, while also having the option to explore an intimacy with them that you can't get in normal AAA titles.
