I've been playing this game for awhile, and have noted several issues that will be issues if this game ever became popular:
- Use of textures from real world objects. I've seen a Coleman lantern in this game, and other objects that look scans from real branded products. This opens the game to copyright and trademark lawsuits. I've mentioned this to the game dev before. The lantern model could be redone at least to look like style miner's lamp, which works both for a design for an electric,oil, or lamp, and remove any association with coleman. All the carried item textures need to be revisited, and remove any possible references to real-world brands.
- Casinos. Any reference gambling in games these days is widely attacked. Change this to something like "arcade" or something would be less objectionable. Gambling references in games also increase it's rating level.
- References to a god and churches. Christianity isn't the most popular religion on the planet, besides, who said space faring races would believe in a god, or even gods? In the Star Wars universe, they believe in a force, not a god. Rename this to "spiritual center" and it'll be more universal, and allow for better role playing. Where "god" is referenced, a quick fix would be to replace the word "god" with "stars", especially such as for the ship naming dialogues.
- Sex. ahem. We all know this was a weird design choice That's why Hazeron Starship is dropping it. Spore had this same issue too which you can see in the pre-release footage. They still left the concept of mating in place, but instead of the sex animation, just showed it with a dance, and a puff of smoke, and poof there is an egg.
