Okay. Definitely not inspired by real stuff 😂😂😂😂

Reverie Rebels 🇱🇧🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @reverierebels.bsky.social · Sep 6

Folks, please hire sensitivity editors. Don’t matter what you’re creating. But especially if you’re creating stuff that clearly can be interpreted as being outside your culture. More pics on comments

Pledged $1 just to comment here. If I'm able to get an honest answer here:
This game seems to draw from many different cultures. How many sensitivity editors are involved in this process and who are they? Please do share their names and website. Thanks!

Hi Raffi! Although we've been inspired by certain cultures, we've made sure that everything in the game is our own creation, and they are not intended to be representations of any existing cultures. They are our original designs, and our original stories. It's much more fun for us as designers if we have complete creative freedom, so that means using nothing from the
'real world' aside from the geographical place names that the Spirits are found

So none. Okay thanks for the honest response.
It doesn't matter if it's not a
representation of the real world. Any designer has their own biases and designing such game without sensitivity editors is pretty irresponsible in my opinion.
There's representation of Black people, Asian and other characters that could easily be read as BIPOC.
I highly recommend you set money aside for that and reconsider your argument.
Plenty of sensitivity editors who work on fantasy. I just went through the process myself with my own game.
And I work at the intersection of social justice and design so I know my stuff
AND I still felt like I had to hire

justice and design so I know my stuff
AND I still felt like I had to hire someone else outside myself cause I can't be the one judging my own decisions.

It’s a compliment… I’m meaning to say it looks organic and cool.

Reverie Rebels 🇱🇧🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @reverierebels.bsky.social · Jul 4

We’re getting closer and closer to our stretch goal which I’m very excited about: the new redesigned character sheet to accommodate all the fierce mods we created!

Go check it out and back it if you dig it 🔥

Lines aren’t straight and mono like usual isometric design which is awesome. Squiggly.

Reverie Rebels 🇱🇧🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @reverierebels.bsky.social · Jul 3

And people don’t have a home to live or food to eat. Crazy.

Reverie Rebels 🇱🇧🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @reverierebels.bsky.social · Jul 3

So gross

Reverie Rebels 🇱🇧🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @reverierebels.bsky.social · Jul 3

Love the isometric but a little squiggly hehe

Reverie Rebels 🇱🇧🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @reverierebels.bsky.social · Jul 2

Mmmhhmmmm.

Reverie Rebels 🇱🇧🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @reverierebels.bsky.social · Jul 2

That sounds awesome!

Reverie Rebels 🇱🇧🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @reverierebels.bsky.social · Jul 2

So beautiful!! What kind of system is it? 🔥

July is disability pride month! Folks often ask if there are assistive devices in TES, and the answer is yes!

Erasmo (TESA: Redguard, 1998) uses a floating Dwemeri wheelchair, Amalien (ESO: Graymoor, 2020) uses a normal wooden one. Glasses are also common.

Erasmo, an old elf in a large floating Dwemer contraption.

Amalien, an Altmer using a wooden wheelchair.
