Initial Research 6

i've been looking into more aspects of video games and have started to look in more detail into LGBT characters in gaming and the response to them.
Bioware appears to have the best representation of LGBT characters so far, with multiple romance options and inclusion of transgender characters. Certain characters can only engage in certain types of romances, such as Dorian can only have a successful romance with a male inquisitor, whereas other characters such as Iron bull and Josephine can be romanced no mater the gender of the inquisitor. There are also characters that can't be romanced with as they have other aspect to their characters story that are more pressing to the story and their development.

I have been watching Extra Credits on youtube, a channel mainly dedicated to gaming and games development- i need to take notes on some videos.
I have been playing through undertale as it has fun and good game play, and resembles an jrpg with it's graphics and menu fight mechanics. The art style is very retro, and seems easier to replicate than going straight into trying 3d graphics and animations, which i am still working on.

i have started to look into articles on JSTOR about LGBT representations and will go through them thoroughly at a later time. 

I intend to do more work on unity and blender, as well as trying to learn how to use game maker, as it has a simpler coding base and seems like a good starting point.
