Questions about this comic
Can the story reference their favorite games?
The story can follow the genres they love, like fantasy quests, racing or space battles, and use their nickname, habits and catchphrases. Real game titles, characters and logos are trademarks, so they stay out; the world is original and inspired by what they play.
Can their gaming squad be in it?
Yes. Mention the friends from their weekly sessions in your answers, and they can appear in the story as sidekicks, rivals or the teammate who always disappears at exactly the worst moment.
