So yeah, as you may have gathered from my last post, I did indeed get sucked into that Avengers Academy game, as I predicted I might.

I hit level cap, and while i do still have some story quest pending, including one which requires me to pay like 6,000 credits to level up Taskmaster, I decided to take some time to prettify my campus. I like things compact, efficient and organized, probably a holdover from my days playing old school PC citybuilders like Pharaoh, so you won’t get a lot of sprawling flower gardens from me, but no saying it can’t still look nice… Organized it into areas. Sciency type stuff in the upper left, SHIELD related stuff along the left edge below that, physical training in the lower left, transportation (Quinjet hangar and the Bifrost) in the middle, and i grouped the god stuff together too, so like the Bifrost, Asgardian Forge, and Ares’ Arena of War, then you have the living/recreation area in the upper right. Have a space reserved in the upper block for the Maverick Dorm (which I am assuming will be the same size as the other dorm) and blank space all down the sides for whatever new buildings they add…

I’ve not been sharing them *here* so far, but I’ve been taking tons of screencaps of the dialogue, which is basically what makes the game worth playing, since the actual gameplay is basically just timer management, plus rearranging/decorating your little campus. I’m loving the character designs, and like how most of the characters are in game. They are basically really exaggerated versions of themselves, some are more comic based, some are more MCU based, some are a mix of both. I am happy that though they played with his villainous tendencies a bit, Loki ended up not being the bad guy on campus, he was just a red herring. The real on-campus villain ended up being Enchantress with Taskmaster acting as muscle. Loki is portrayed more troubled than evil, overall, and eventually settled into the same territory as Black Widow. Oh man, is Enchantress a biiiitch. And I do like that they fully acknowledge that her methods are creepy and gross. Anyway, the game is absurd, but it knows it and runs with it, which makes it funny and cute. Dating is not implemented yet, but is upcoming, and the game is starting to steer you towards certain pairings, Loki and Wasp, Falcon and Kamala, Enchantress and Taskmaster (sorta), Tony and… everyone… Though I presume you can disregard their suggestions if you want, but I think Loki and Wasp are super cute, (though unexpected, i was all getting ready for him and Black Widow) and Kamala with Falcon is the least squicky option for her. I know they are all about the same age in the game due to de-aging, but I just can’t help but think of her as waaaay younger than all the rest. I think I’d prefer if they added Sam Alexander or Robbie Reyes to the game for her. I dunno if i actually want to set Enchantress up with anyone, even Tasky, cus seriously, she’s so gross. Even though there is a male to female imbalance which means several guy characters will end up single even if I did pair her up. Game needs more ladies.
