I've read part of the King Lud IC post on some other website, but both links raise interesting points...

In particular, I like this quote from King Lud IC:

"If we can't have the guts as artists to stand up and make a controversial statement with our medium, we don't deserve to have it. Either everything is okay to make art about, or nothing is. Maintaining a safe zone of taboo subject matter will not appease opportunistic politicians, but rather will relegate our medium to a niche hobby-hole where it can be cornered, nuetered, and sold in clean, heartless parcels."

Back in college, I produced an RPG based on the cult Japanese live-action film "Battle Royale" as part of a group project using that same engine: RPG Maker 2000. It's a shame it hasn't legally been released in the US for the PC, as it's much easier to use than the PSX/PS2 entries in the series that have been released here...

I'll have to upload it when I get back from my upcoming 1 month vacation to Japan.
