And deal with level gap of losing to a low-level enemy by having mechanics that scale according to player level. Would still need to make instant loss stuff fair somehow but I’m not a developer so whatever
I think that there’s a really obvious solution in a roguelike with quick and easy resets. Allows you to build enough momentum that it feels humiliating to lose and lets you actually play the game with defeat being an inevitable outcome

@hovermyr Everyone loves talking about playing with a robotgirl’s wires, but when she starts playing with a humangirl’s wires, suddenly there’s ethical concerns 🙄
Are you mad at me :( *punches your tummy* are you mad at me :( *twists the knife in your side* are you mad at me :( *holds down the button on the shock collar remote long past your breaking point* are y
Fuck and the themes would be so strong too!!! Trans girls being forced to shave off their edges and sexualize themselves to not be seen as damaged goods!!! I may be cooking…
Thinking about a mechsploitation story about a former war hero being turned into a PR mouthpiece for the sci-fi empire. Turning her well-honed body into a piece of eye candy to sucker people into enlistment…
