I had a game once where the victim's best friend had a reason for killing the victim. The reason was: The best friend despised the victim.

A UK resident myself, I was amused at one suspect's name: Sunny Manchester.

That's a good point...
At least the flirting skill potentially plays off of the suspect's romantic inclinations, not necessarily the sleuth's own. That's cool, and for me somehow outweighs the 'falling in love' storyline that seems to happen so infrequently (for me, at least)...
Stuff to think about, at any rate.

Yeah, accounting for sexual orientation actually pops up as a headache in lots of situations, when writing for this game. The thing is, romance and sexual tension tend to play a big role in the detective novel genre, and I'd like to work it in more.
It seems a little heavy handed to ask every new detective to indicate a sexual preference for their detective, though.

Definitely... :D I think that you've done a pretty good job of working around it, all things considered. Potentially incorrect assumptions about a detective's sexuality pop up fairly infrequently, IMO, and it's good to know that you're at taking such things into consideration as you program away...

The mixing of the genders in the storylines is fine--everyone getting with everyone. I don't think you need to worry about programming around it. If this was real life the sexual orientation dynamics would be "presuptive and problematic." But, this is a game.
BTW, The Watcher, do you even play the game?

The watcher is obvioulsy an alias for someone who wished to remain anonymous with their post. It is hard to imagine anyone being offended about a game saying you're falling for someone, anyone. I mean, it is a little weird that I "fall" for these NPC's, but it's just the flavor of the scenery. I apologize if my lack of sympathy has offended anyone but I don't think it needs to be fiddled with.

NPC is role play talk for non-player character. (I've apparently fallen in love with several by now. They never fail to break my heart too!)
:-D
