I really like video games that don't follow the basic "kill all these guys" story.
I am also from madison, wisconsin, and idk if you know, but our state college mascot/state animal is a badger.
What do you find is the biggest obstacle for releasing a game like this, where you can't really appeal to the type gamers?
My dad is an artist who has worked on video games, and recently is working on a game made possible by a grant from the gates foundation, and it's about researching how video games can help people learn, and researching the relationship between video games and adult success. But he doesn't think the game will do very well because they can't find trained, skilled, committed workers to do the things they need. Most of the workers all have other jobs, and try and get unpaid interns and college students to do most of the work, which is great experience for them, but the game suffers because of it. Have you experienced anything like that?
