Hi, I am a member of the team that created this game. This is a very old issue, I know. May the dead raise for just a sec.
It is kinda funny you guys consider the fact that we had the trouble to develop a game to entertain girls a horrible stereotype. We did indeed create the game trying to create a good game with a fashion, beauty and romance theme. It was indeed intended to be played by girls. That doesn't mean we are forbidding people to do what they see fit. It is under the Public Domain. It is one thing to say the game is bad. I can understand that (I actually think it could be much, much better). To say that the developer should not declare to whom the game was intended and to say the developer is sexist for developing something intended to please girls... that I don't understand. Actually, one could say girls don't actually enjoy our game. OK, that might be true. One could also say that girls SHOULD NOT enjoy our game. That would be sexist. Girls are allowed to like or dislike whatever they see fit. There is nothing wrong in playing with fashion. There is nothing wrong is playing with the fantasy of a great ball, counts, princes and kings. There is nothing wrong in choosing dresses and trying to take a shower before the ball. It is a game. Girls are not limited to fashion.They can do anything. Including fashion. Our game is certainly not the best (sorry about that... we'll try to make it better next time). We may be terrible programmers and the game is certainly full of bugs. It is, though, one of the best looking open source games available anywhere even now. And it is several years old. It was the first code we ever wrote and yet it is also an impressive game among Pygame games. Go ahead, change anything you want on the game. It is open source, under the Public Domain, for anyone to do anything. You don't need to package it either, of course, especially if you consider we did something morally wrong. I disagree, nothing more. We'll not hide the fact that the game was made to please girls just because people think we are sexist for employing all our free time over a whole year to create something nice for young girls to play.
