Hey TC fam!
Today I wanted to try something new and a bit more casual here: Corner Talk. Short polls or quick questions to get a sense of where you all stand on things, both in the game and outside of it. They'll be quick, but they could genuinely help shape the direction of what I write and of TrueClash itself.
Choosing fighters for your team.
This one's especially for those of you who've played up to the latest patch and have a better feel for the cast so far.
At some point, you'll get to decide who's on your team. So I want to ask: do you think every character should be an option for the team? Are there characters you feel shouldn't be selectable at all? Or characters who should always be on it, no matter what?
Why I'm asking:
In TC, everything counts. I don't take choices lightly. If you pick a fighter for your team, they'll react one way. If you don't, they'll react differently. And that may also dictate who you have on your team meetings or not.
For me, having those different paths in-game is interesting and makes it feel more alive. But it also removes writting time from other parts of the game. But I'd love to hear your thoughts so I know how valuable it is to put the effort into making them happen, and whether some characters make more sense as fixed choices or not.
That said, choosing your team doesn't mean you'll only ever interact with the fighters on it. There will be times when you'll have to work with other teams, or with characters you didn't pick. The beer pong and the dance are good examples: you might not end up having Harry or Lucas on your team, and you still get to interact with them. A character not being on your team doesn't mean they disappear from the story. They'll just be part of it in a different way.
So here it goes: from what you know so far, what do you think?
