Deep rock is getting serious about dwarf representation. But still thinks female characters aren't worth the effort?
It's easier to make fantasy men than literally 1 woman. I would call it a joke, but those are funny. This is just sad and infuriating.
Should have just said that it already has female dwarfs and refused to elaborate.
The Discworld way.
The Tolkien way, too. Remember Gimli's bit about people thinking there aren't dwarf women because they can't tell them from the men?
I mean, Cheery is one of the best characters in the series.
For those confused, discworld dwarfs have both males and females. However, both are stocky and have beards. They also are very egalitarian regarding jobs etc. They long ago gave up correcting the surface races regarding their gender, who assume a burley minor in heavy armour, and a thick beard, is a male dwarf.
It's an indie game and they would have to hire new voice actors. Frankly, it doesn't matter in the slightest.
Indie dev that have made around 100 million dollars on Steam https://vginsights.com/game/548430
Did you read the article? Are you familiar with the concept of tech debt? Sounds like they would have to put the rest of the game dev on hold for months if not a year to make progress, and they're already known as a company with slow dev because they take care of their employees and don't crunch.
I mean I agree I want female dwarves in the game, but it's literally millions of dollars to implement
Except you can do it incrementally and just have a female dwarf that doesn't support everything.
