Hello the Gia! We're a brand new skeleton RP based on Blade Runner 2049. Could we receive an opinion from you, please? Thank you very much and happy New Years!

hi! happy new year! keep in mind that my opinion is simply that...my opinion & everything i say is meant to be constructive and helpful! (also please note that i’m not familiar with blade runner/have never seen it, so i’m also not your target audience).

first impressions. your icon threw me off ‘cause it looks like the old tumblr anon icon haha. in general, i was pretty confused by probably someone who is a fan of blade runner would know exactly what was going on immediately. i didn’t so definitely make sure your icon and url read blade runner to someone who is a fan of the series.

plot. again, i’m not super familiar with the plot, but it seems just like you’ve set the group in the blade runner 2049 setting, which is cool, and everything else is character-driven within that verse. if i was familiar with the series i would definitely try to suggest some twists to you, but for now i think the concept works especially because as far as i know, there are no other blade runner roleplays in the tags right now, especially of this kind. because of that, your plot is unique and though your target group of roleplayers may be niche, you’ll get them all!

characters (if applicable). just so you know the “roles” link on your main navigation is broken. luckily, you don’t have many posts so it’s easy for me to find all your characters right now. so far, all your skeletons are nice -- basic, but provide a decent amount of information. i think that’s essential for a plot like yours that takes place in a specific verse and it’s great that you allow OCs. i would definitely suggest having non-binary skeletons as well as male and female. it’s great that you included tom hardy and you definitely shouldn’t shy away from that kind of age range diversity. the “audition” link is also currently broken, so i can’t see your app right now either. i am definitely curious as to whether you allow people to play canon characters. 

graphics and theme. they’re okay -- i like the font and the theme you used is really clean and nice. a lot of the things on the theme are unfinished, like broken links and some things on the sidebar. i like your choice to sign posts with the font signature text. i do think there’s a lot more you could do to make this interesting though, since looking up the movie i’ve noticed the vibe of the world is extremely colorful, interesting, and futuristic, where your graphics are very dark and give me a sort of wasteland vibe? some of the graphics you are using are bright purple too, and you can tell they’re sort of cut from the same vein, but there’s clashing vibes. i would definitely suggest committing to a color scheme, but in general, i think it looks clean! 

other stuff. i'm glad to see a niche like this being tapped on and i think anyone interested in the blade runner series would definitely be into what you’ve thought out -- it seems like you’ve got a lot of cool ideas. i would suggest cleaning up broken links on the main before opening & maybe making the tagline over the ask box a little shorter ‘cause the fact that the text takes up two lines and blends into each other looks clunky idk. best of luck!!

Hey there Sof! Could we get an opinion, please? We're a brand new skeleton RP based on the Blade Runner movies. Thank you very much in advance!

disclaimer: hello! your opinion is under the cut but please remember that this is just my opinion and is not meant to hurt the admin(s) in any way, shape or form. i am only one person and this is only one person’s opinion so please treat it as such!

i would just like to preface this by saying i haven’t watched the movies. i didn’t know what your url or icon meant and that’s mainly cause i haven’t watched a single blade runner movie and all... but i think they are good url? anways onto your theme, it was my old one so im a fan of it and it’s versatile them and all so i like it. i also like your graphics? they are simple but they work. your plot is short but sweet. it could be expanded on a little but i can’t say in what since i don’t know the movies but from face value, it’s a little shorter than the plots i normally see. as for your rules, since you guys are not a smut roleplay, i would put smut under a cut. i know you probably think blacklist is enough but on some people’s mobile, blacklist hasn’t rolled out to everyone and if they are at work and someone peeks over their shoulder, they are in trouble. also two weeks for activity seems a bit long and just a warning you’re not gonna get an active dash. but to each their own??? other than that your rules seem fine. your app seems fine too. your skeletons are really good. they are some POC, various ages and gender. so that’s a plus. overall, strong group, some minor things here or there but other than, it’s a good group.
