Client Meeting
From our first client meeting, we determined some general parameters for the project:
- It is about inclusion and accessibility; welcoming different backgrounds and experiences
- Important to consider that each country has its own norms regarding non-binary culture
- Our character creator must somehow add or expand to already existing games
- Meeting times will have to be carefully planned due to time zone differences between the client, other EA developers, and the team.
For the next client meeting with Kate we plan to research and answer these questions:
- How do some games successfully achieve gender inclusiveness?
- For games that lack gender inclusiveness, what aspects can be improved on?
- What are some games with interesting or unique approaches to character customization?
- What genre of games does our character creator fit into?
- What do non-binary and transgender people think about character creation in games?
