Laxidaze comes from lackadaisical (lack·a·dai·si·cal) meaning Carefree and laid-back which is the feeling we want people to have while hanging out in the world of Laxidaze. This has an impactful meaning to the story line as well as to the team at Machine Elf Studios.
At Machine Elf Studios, we are all about inclusivity and representation, and as such you will be able to play as any sexual orientation and have any gender identity you want! So, yes you will be able to romance same sex Squad Mates and there are many LGBTQ+ romance options available.
For the base game we intend to have around 30 - 40 Nanims. Depending on how many stretch goals we hit that number can go up to 50+.
Laxidaze will be coming to PC, Playstation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch!
We don't plan to include any microtransactions for the entire single player experience and just plan to make expansion-pack like DLC down the line for single player (New areas, nanims, dungeons, etc). As for multiplayer we are unsure at the moment since we have not hit that stretch goal yet.
