Jan 4th 2007 3:34PM (Joystiq)I think it was a decent way to put in a homosexual protagnist as a main character, but after looking over the idea I realised it really didn't effect the story in a very significant manner. I understand there's definatly a dillema when it comes to designing a gay character who's suppose to be the main character. It's hard to bring together the game's story with a character's sexuality until you start giving that character relationships.
However, there's nothing to say that, let's say, a puzzle game couldn't have a gay character as the main character. Being that the story doesn't play as big a role, one could easily have a scene where the protagonist hits on one of his opponents (maybe to get'em a little jumpy before the match or vice-versa) or even be on a mission to rescue the man of his dreams.
I'm going to be rethinking some ideas I've had, as I've always wanted to experiment with player reactions to gay characters. Especially when the player doesn't know the main character is gay until they've developed some sort of connection with them. It's a complete blind-sidder =P
