Give me the .psd, or whatever program they use and I will. Its literally not that hard. I guess that assuming the artist actually has proper layering setup, but if you are paying someone they probably should.
You mention Summertime Saga, but thats one game. One. What about the rest of the top 50? How many black male MCs? None. How about top 100? The same. The literal highest I know of, and if anyone knows one higher, please tell me, is ranked 417, and their most common critique is just that. The only other one I can think of, and its a stretch considering they've always said its someone tanned and not black is Taifun Raiders. And they have dropped almost 1 thousand, again, 1k patreons since the change from their last game with a white skin guy to their recent game, despite everything else being objectively better.
It's just supply and demand
What I'm saying is, and this is give me my last reply to this, there is zero proof is purely off of skin color alone. Just because there is none does not mean that's the reason, Correlation does not equal causation.
It's crazy to me how you bank all this on that. When the most likely it's just 99% of those people making games has thay skin color so they make characters that look like them and that's fine, to say supply and demand off of one factor when there's thousands that go into those games being popular is not proven.
So to end this, I will use whatever means I deem appropriate to see if I will do it with the game I'm spending my time making. If one visual aspect causes the game to not be as successful as it could be and magically would have gotten a hundred times more support because of it, That's fine I'll live with that. People can play the thousands of Pokémon games with skin appropriate main characters.
I hope you have a good day.
