PERSONA DANCING ALL OVER MY SOUL
"I generally just tumble around."

Do You Like Space? Do You Like Games?!

I sure hope you do, because a peer of mine ((and his two friends)) in Calculus has put a whole lot of effort into a top-down space shooter called “Stellar Year: Unknown”. Now, I don’t know a thing about programming or game design- I just know it takes a massive amount of time, effort, and skill. And after putting that much into it, shouldn’t their effort be acknowledged? I think so; I want their project to get the green light on Steam! It only takes a second to give them a quick vote- let the people at Steam know that you like the idea of their game, that it’s interesting and that they deserve to get a chance to have their project out on the market.

If you want to take just a couple seconds to help out, click right here and give a thumbs up to Bean Boy Games and their space-tastic survival game! You can also search “Stellar Year: Unknown” on Steam Greenlight if you’re not in the mood to be clicking links- that’s cool, that’s cool.

The last thing I’m going to ask before leaving you alone is that you reblog this- pass it around so more and more people hear about this game and ‘rocket’ it into popularity… I’m sorry. But seriously, I cannot stress enough that I can’t conceptualize what goes into something like this. To think that a peer of mine, someone trying to make it through college classes like Calculus, no less, would still make the time and effort to produce this? Boost this up, and I implore my fellow Steam users to give a thumbs up to Bean Boy Games for their take on a tried-and-true classic.

I’ve come to notice that the only times men play games with female protagonists is when it’s easy to disguise or forget you’re playing as a girl. Take Portal, for example. Rarely do you see Chell, the woman you’re playing as. Many people who don’t pay as much attention don’t even realize she’s a girl for a while. Same goes for Metroid, especially the early games. If it can be forgotten or easily pushed aside that the protagonist is a girl, then men find it acceptable to play those games.

So of course then besides the lucky few, most games with a girl lead are aimed at only girls and poorly produced in order to suck up money by making it a girls game for younger girls rather than a legitimately fun and well made game. So that perpetuates that games that seem girly or feminine or have a female lead that isn’t made masculine or neutral are bad and poorly made, because most are.

Long story short, not only is much of the female representation in games abysmal (but that’s a whole different can of worms), but the non offensive representation they do have is masculinized so “boys can it play it too”, and all other representation that isn’t completely objectifying or masculinized is in poorly made cash sponges.

A couple of my online friends were curious about the collection, so last night I compiled all of the manga, anime, and video games into a nifty list.

I may compile a list of merch and cosplay later, but for now here’s this.
