hello folks, i plan to create my own action sci fi with all the action sci fi goodness, futuristic technology, laser gun ship to ship battle ect.
it will be based in an alternate universe and based on some aspects of reality.
i want to do 2 things to my sci fi and i will like to know if yu would like it or not, they are both touchy issues so i will give it to you one at a time.
if my sci fi is just awesome, and contains all the great stuff about action sci fi, would you still like it if the majority of charaters were black?
would you like this or not

i don't see what difference a person's skin color would make. personally i don't there should be that much imphasis on race. It should boil down to how good the plot was developed, how well it was told and how much depth was put into the characters. the fact that most people are black in it is a moot point at best. it won't take away any of the 'awesomeness'.
people always complain about racial inequalities but it's hard for things to be really equal if you need to call attention to it.
let me clarify this before it gets misconstrued - it's perfectly fine to have a mostly black cast, i mean how would it really be any different if it were not so? but when people go around and say "LOOK! It's a cast of MOSTLY black people, you MUST have an opinion on it!", it seems to defeat the purpose of wanting racial equality because why would I 'have' to have an opinion on it when I wouldn't necessarily 'have' to have an opinion on a mostly white cast?
This is coming from an asain girl with a black best friend and a biological half brother and sister who are puerto rican/black on their mother's side. i don't look at them and see 'black', whatever that is supposed to mean. they are just people that are important to me.

The only reason for me to object to black actors would be if they were used to portray what I would call "white culture".
For example, I cannot imagine black wikings (but that might be just me
).

Alternate Universe.
And, now that you mention it, black vikings would be pretty kick-ass...

It would be fine so long as it made sense within the lore of your alternate universe.

the culture in my sci fi would be more or less based on the real world, however the culture will have little to do with racial steroetypes, thats one thing i will avoid in my sci fi, as for this so called white culture you say,
there is no such thing as white or black culture, it just so happens that most people of a said culture is white, or black ect. BUT THATS ANOTHER TOPIC!

As long as it's well written and engaging to read, it shouldn't matter what colour the main characters are. I'd be very interested to read it once it's done!

the next thing i would like to add to my fiction is gay romance. for the general episodes there will only be softcore romance for both str8 and gay, meaning there will only be conversation, making out, and sex behind closed doors, which will last for 5 minutes or less.
for romance episodes there will be 2 versions, one version will be general episodes like i described above. the next version of that same episode will contain hardcore graphic sex,penis,vagina anus everything!
for example, "episode 3 'jupiter battle'" has some romance, in the general version jacob and kyle make love, they kiss, disappear in a room out of view, a few sexual sounds for less than 5min and thats its, romance over.
the hardcore version of the same episode will be like this; kyle and jacob kiss and make out, go into a room and you see all the juicy sexual details. penis anus, ****** squiting all the works.
it will be completely up to you which version you want to download and watch.
please tell me what you think

I have no problems whatsoever with your suggestions. As long as it adds up to entertaining/thought-provoking content which provides something meaningful to gameplay why not. I'd draw the line at hardcore pornographic material because, although I'm no prude, I don't think it would actually detract from a game's merits for the wrong reasons.

thats why you will have the choice in certain episodes to the general verion of the episodes with no hardcore, or the hardcore version,
you dont like hardcore then dont download the hardcore version.
