Happy midsummer everybody, I am within inches of opening the beta testing, but until then, have fun asking me any questions about game, process or world.

Now I am off to have a nice midsummer weekend, hottest one in 50 years, so I expect to be melting. Hope everybody is keeping safe.

under what circumstances did anathema join the rangers? was there a specific event that prompted it? were they invited by someone, or did they seek someone out to join? have there been times chen has worked outside the law in the past for the sake of those close to him while part of the rangers? if so, why? what was it about those circumstances that pushed him that far? asides from going to the bar and spending time with spoon, what else does chen do to unwind? do the guardians have a set uniform/colour scheme they adhere to? did sunstream have a particular type of mission she liked doing best? (like helping regular people out or taking down the real notorious villains)

How did Ortega’s parents meet and fall in love? Who was Ortega jealous of if they see Sidestep and Argent having a thing? Why? If the Sullivan family (especially Daniel) discovered that a Re-Gene was made from their DNA, would they consider adopting them? (To help control the situation before the media finds out if nothing else?) Or would they be too freaked out by their existence to even consider them as family? What would Daniel think of having a boosted little sibling enslaved by the Farm, possibly rejected by the rest of his family? Building on that question, what would Argent and Daniel be like as older siblings? Why are Re-Genes age accelerated to 14 when they’re born? Does it have anything to do with federal laws surrounding crimes against kids 13 and under? If the Rangers + Dr Mortum + HG trio were to go camping, what would they do for activities? Why is HG so… prone to sleeping/relaxing? Does it have anything to do with their telepathy? From one of the previous Q&A, Sentinel apparently didn’t think a Chargestep romance would last. Why is that? In a similar vein, in what way(s) did Ashfall think Ortega would hurt Sidestep? Did his beliefs make the fight that he had with Ortega after Heartbreak more volatile? Is Mitchell happy with the life he has now? Can we have a Mitchell file on Mitchell himself? Is there any reason why Steel doesn’t plan on acting on his crush on Step without Karen’s prompting? I can understand Ortega, given the power difference in Marshal status and his reputation as a straight man. What about Step? How would Ashfall and Sentinel react to a reunited, committed Chargestep romance that’s actually healthy, happy, and stable? Did they have any bets on if either Ortega or Step could actually keep a relationship like this, given their individual issues? Would the Rangers be interested in a power swap scenario with Sidestep’s telepathy? Or even experience what Step’s telepathy is like for a day? Are there any treatments for psychic ailments, both for psychics and any psychic afflicted victims? Is the puppet’s name actually ‘Ace’?? How would people react if Charge got married? What about Tia Elena? Did she ever think the day would come? What kinds of jealous are the ROs in general? Would the ROs consider projecting/using their own thoughts to (playfully) mess with Step? I remember you saying that Daniel would at least use it from time for fun, seeing it as another weird, nice couple thing. In addition to that, would they consider doing something in a similar vein in sex? I know Steel was thinking some things that made Step blush… I kind of want to go down that line of exploration. How would the ROs deal with a sentimental, affectionate, romantic Drunk!Step that sincerely confesses some heartfelt feelings about them and their relationship?

I loved that Ashfall piece from last week. I hadn't thought about the drawbacks to his powers. Poor guy. Since he spent a portion of his vigilante career running around naked did he have a costume? If he did what was it like? Have the Rangers and Sidestep seen him naked? Does Ashfall's streaking days effect his Pyroclast's hero career? Ashfall acted like he assumed Ortega disliked him? Did they? If Ortega grows a beard, what do the Rangers (Ortega included) think of it? If a Regene is created and has a disability what happens to them? What if its something minor like needing glasses or food allergies? What about something that develops later like mental illness or diabetes? What would happen to them?

Bunny

What would have happened if President Ross had gotten to deploy the national guard in the FEZ?

All Blue

Could Pyroclast turn isolated parts of his body into ash? If not, is it possible for him to accomplish that? Has Pyroclast tried to do combo attacks with his heat and ash manipulation? Will we have a choice to decide how close we were to Pyroclast? In the Heartbreak incident, some people believe Ortega made the wrong call. What call would Sentinel, Steel, and Pyroclast have made in that same situation, without the knowledge of what would happen to Anathema + Sidestep + almost Steel? How would it affect HG’s and Jake’s relationship if Nocturne was killed? What was Spoon’s old name before Steel renamed him? What’re the effects of having a high fan club value? What’s the relationship like between Blaze and Zephyr in general? What do they think of each other, honestly? What’s Blaze’s and Zephyr’s reasons for becoming heroes? How did you first conceive and write the Rangers? How long did it take for them to become a character you felt satisfied with, as well as their dynamics with others? What was your process in fleshing them out? Do any of the Rangers know that Danny’s powers deal with gravity manipulation? Or is it just flight to them? How would the ROs deal with a Step that’s completely oblivious to any and all romantic come-ons that they may make towards them, seeing it as normal bonding interactions? (E.g. Flirting, compliments, literally asking them out directly, being affectionate.) What would they do with this, if they suspect Step might have a romantic interest in them as well? How would Lord Ember react to an infamous, respected villain absolutely losing it over his one-sided grudge against Pyroclast, struggling not to laugh whenever they even think of him? Embarrassed? Angry? Would he get pissed off if they made jokes about it- especially to his face? In addition to that, what would Hollow Ground think of the whole thing? Both of Ember’s grudge and Villain’s (slightly) mocking hysterics? If Ortega and Steel had to get glowing mod tattoos, what designs would they go for? What about when they were first modded? What spinal tattoos would Ortega have chosen? (I’m pretty surprised that’s a thing in-game. I’m also sappy and want to imagine a scenario of them getting mod tattoos in solidarity with Step’s Re-Gene tattoos. 🥰) What do Daniel’s parents think of their son becoming a hero? Does anyone in their elite circles know he’s a boost/Herald? What was his parents’ cover story as to where their surviving son went?

Jordan Felts

Not sure why we can't have access to the alpha build anymore

Bunny

Boosts have craving. What does Herald Crave? What does Ashfall/Pyroclast crave? What happens to Sidestep if they go a long time without carbs or sugar? What kinds of problems are the Rangers known for causing for their PR staff?

Jordan Felts

We're is the link? Because the link I have says it was taken down

All Blue

Will we be able to choose how long Sidestep has worked for the Farm? How they lived their life after they escaped before they became Sidestep? If our MC is trans, does that mean that Hollow Ground is also trans? Theoretically, if Argent was completely human and became a modded hero, what sort of mods would she choose to take? What was it like for Daniel when he rescued civilians from the California fire? Did he get any vivid flashbacks to Josh? Is it possible for us to get some more short stories on the Rangers’s pasts? E.g. Chen with Soo, Daniel and Joshua, Argent when she decided to leave her family, Ortega telling Tia Elena about their decision to sign on with the Rangers, etc? What’re some of the weirdest boosts that the Rangers have ever come across? Would HG and Jake have ever gotten together without Nocturne in the picture? What’s the extent of Nocturne’s education? What subjects does she like/is good at? Are there any that she dislikes/needs help with? What’s Porphyry’s gender identity? I think I might’ve gotten some things confused. You answered that villains would be incredulous that Sidestep turned villain… what about the heroes? How would they react that Step had turned to the dark side? How old are each of the Guardians? Would any of the cast be interested in boosted/modded/powered competitions? Similar to the training and tests found in My Hero Academia? (E.g. Testing your mantle in simulated battlefields, scenarios, experimenting and finding out new applications for your powers, winning over fellow competitors and rivals, etc.) Does Jake ever cheat when he gambles? How does he feel about it? What would Ortega have liked about Ace, pre-Shroud? What’s Mia’s opinion of Psychopathor, especially considering he gave her a job? How would she react to somebody finally killing him? How big of a threat is Locus without her telepathy?

Juan

Given Sidestep's variability, what would you say are the core things that make up Sidestep? The stuff that has to be there to still be Sidestep. How do you keep these things in mind when you write there branching off points?

Juan

In the first game you could go the whole game never being hurt. While in the second, unless I'm incorrect, there is no way past Steel without taking a hit. If this is the case, would you mind telling why this is?

Juan

If the Rangers could get into a fight with anyone, no consequences win or lose, who would it be and why?

Bunny

Could Telepathy be used to cut someone off from their senses or use of their limbs? Could Sidestep do that temporarily or permanently? Could telepathy cut off someone's connection to their mods?

Bunny

I have a messed up question. Are there any LD Rangers fans working at the Farm?

Ludvig Lindström

Working with Vigilantes is one thing, but have the Rangers ever had to team up with a Villain to take down a even bigger threat or achieve some other common goal? If so, does the public know about it or did it happen in secret?

All Blue

Okay, I gotta know: is Ortega still turned on by danger? Or is that past behind them? If they still are, what are the chances of them being into a badass non-murder Step? We know that Argent has the impression of a fighter/streetwise Step, but what about Herald? Did he think the same as her, or did he pick up on Sidestep actually being a tech savvy/tactician hero if things were different? How old were Jake and Nocturne when they took the boost drug? If Mortum was boosted, what can you see them having for powers? Would Mortum resort to unsavoury/underhanded tactics if a living subject of interest (say, an interesting telepath) refused to let them conduct experiments on them, if their research needed the person in question instead of samples and case studies of their powers? This may be dark, but I have to ask. Will there be a choice for Step to commit suicide if it’s not in a crisis situation?

Molly

what did the heartbreak event look/feel to anathema? anything at all you can share rn? :)

Vesper Everett

How many words do you estimate book 3 will be?

Rayssa Eulalia

You said regenes get AI, is it possible for Sidestep to survive even if his chip gets fried? Do you think Sidestep ever formed his own "organic consciousness" independent of AI and thus became a human being? Will we learn about this in the future or would that be a spoiler to say?

All Blue

What kind of houses did the Rangers live in as kids? Did Herald’s family live in a mansion?? Is Pyroclast’s suit able to change with him now? Or does he still end up naked when he changes form? Would the HG trio consider getting married if poly marriages became legal? How long have the three of them been dating? How did people find out/come to suspect that Jake was sleeping with Nocturne/HG? I can’t imagine he’d be talking about it willy-nilly. What’re the Rangers’ opinions on the police/LDPD?
