Ethics

I have been thinking and I wonder if the name for my game Pandora's Box may be plagiarizing or even insensitive to the Greek legend and so I will change the name to Pandora's Pride. In which I will also change the name of Princess Chardonnay's Kingdom to Pandora in order for the name to make sense.

So the legend of Pandora does not belong to me and in no way are the characters in the game from the Greek tale. I also think that because my target audience will be teen girls, parents may be concerned as to the levels of violence that are portrayed in the game and so I will tone down the violence to the point where the only display of blood will be when the princess finally defeats the villain during the "final boss battle". The villains will be a tad bit intimidating but will retain quirky features that will make them appear less terrifying.

Game Thoughts

I am thinking that instead of designing a specific character for Princess Chardonnay, I will let the consumers create her themselves as this would allow my game to compete with games such as dress up games which may be a competitor for my game.
