Just as a humorous side note, the reason I didn't vote for Laura is that I've basically been her. :lol And few things slow a project leader down more than someone trying to make sure they have a solid foundation with all i's dotted and all t's crossed.

-[X] INSIGHT
-[X]Head Project Manager: Many people underestimate the value of a good Project Manager, but they're responsible not only for keeping the project on time, but to keep all the employees coordinated and motivated. [-3% Initial Finance, Easier to keep employee satisfaction high]
-[X] Penny Equihua is an writer for both tv and video games, with a lot of experience in making emotional realistic characters. However, she wants better representation of minority and LGBTQA+ characters in games, and is willing to fight for it. (+2% to Engagement, costs 1% finane)

Project Manager is very important after all. You can't do shit if your team is doing their own thing for whatever schedule. Someone with the authority to call the shots on schedule slip and cost overruns.
Penny and WHAM makes a powerful combo. WHAM for the game vision and broad strokes, Penny for the characterization. These two are critical to developing an effective VR experience, your eyes and ears must like what you can see, and you MUST be able to treat the NPCs as closer to people than computer terminals.
 
Just to let you all know, I edited the rules for Project Manager and Morticia Lyon. Project manager now reduces every month. It may look like Lyon doesn't add anything because she essentially pays for herself, but because she doesn't have any real dislikes or desires, it's easier to unlock her benefit actions which can reduce finance when you need it.

That's all important, but we don't need to involve them from the start, especially when they have strong views of how the game should be. Choosing them now means our game is like what they want it to be. I don't necessarily disagree with what they want, but I sure as hell don't want to lock myself into that path right away. Although if you want that it's not a bad plan

What effect would Laura even have if we're Project Manager? Besides, I don't think a second one is needed right now, we're still small.

Finance rules changed warning
  • Informational
    • Hey, sorry, changed the finance rules back. I wasn't happy with the recurring discount because it made other employees essentially free.

    Instead of getting more discounts, more project managers would help keep all other employees' satisfaction high, among with other unique events that can help save on finance as one off events in the future.

    I think one Project Manager, the MC, is enough for now. If we want a second one, Morticia seems better than Laura, I think. In that case, I'd still go with my old plan:

    i dont really like the sound of wham, he sounds like he would make the game pure visual adrenaline.

    penny sounds nice, but i wonder if she can accept lgbtqa may not be our main focus or agenda. otherwise it sounds like she can be quiet troublesome in the future.

    i would say more but now i have to rush in order to get ready for work, and that sadly the vote will be over by the i get out.
     
    You actually DO need someone like Wham on the design team.

    You just need to counterweight them with a Plot and Character person as well, but without a Wham the game tends to flop out at launch.
     
    The thing is being VR adds a lot to the wham side of things, but while it might allow the storyline to seem more real it doesn't actually allow you to tell stories that couldn't be otherwise told. While you might be able to see the characters in new ways it doesn't allow new character arcs.
