I also tried to advocate the use of "cool" elder characters. Old people are usually used as perverts or old geezers... but sometimes, they'll be a wise old female pirate captain... so there's hope :) I’ve submitted the idea in my Visual Novel community and maybe there’ll be some response (it’s such a free medium, free of gameplay constraints I mean, that it might be easier… just telling a story while letting the reader see things through the eyes of the protagonist).

I'm almost ashamed not to have noticed. I think I'd like to see something like an adventure game featuring such characters. It would allow for a lot of characterization and give a new perspective : what can/can't you do as either of them for example.
