they were originally planned for release but they didn't have time. Now it's up in the air as to whether we'll ever see them in game, as we haven't heard anything in a long time.

Last I heard the biggest hurdle was voice acting that matched the overall feel of the game

we just need to get around to them, as we'll have to do quite a bit of work on the art dept plus get voice actors. it's something we wanna do but it requires a lot of resources, and right now we're focused on big updates. as cool as female characters are, they won't bring a bunch of players back to the game, and getting our players back up is a big priority for us

It’s really annoying that features like this take so long, considering it was literally promised in the Kickstarter for release. 8 months later and we still have no word on what’s going on. Triternion’s communication and community managment are ass.

It's impossible to make an attractive character in this game. They all come out looking like creepy ogres with blank expressions. And female characters will be no different.

I am so excited!

just rotate the eyelids a bit so they don't look constantly surprised

The devs literally don't even have to lift a finger. The community is more than willing to do all of the hard work, we just need the modding tools to come out and then just let them go nuts. BOOM Loads of new content, surge of new players, and overall a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Devs, all you have to do is lay down the infrastructure and give the community free reign to implement whatever they work on. THIS is how you improve the longevity of your game, not by adding christmas tree ornaments and candy canes.

the christmas stuff took like 5 minutes to make, and we can do both of these things at the same time

Thanks for the update! I noticed you also dropped some info on discord, would you mind if I compile all of the recent news on the game’s development and post a thread here on the sub?

Go for it

SO meeting a kickstart goal promise is not high on the priority? You have models, I've seen them. By tweaking some of the files, some have accessed them and showed screenshots. How hard is it to find a few women to voice act some lines? I really feel ya'll are stalling because of the steam babyragers who cry about the thought of having women in their game.

No it's because the armor and models are completely broken and will require a lot of work for them to look normal, plus modeling faces etc. All that stuff that's in the files is super rough, plus adding females will be a good thing PR wise so we're not intentionally delaying them for any reason. It just will take a lot of resources that will have more short term impact elsewhere

Please don't do it. If accuracy is not important, why not work on oriental/middle eastern weapons and armor? There are a ton of things you could be doing to improve the game besides implementing female character; new maps, game mode, dev tools, etc.

I personally think it would be more realistic to add magic to the game. Woman have no place on the frontline of a realistic medieval battlefield. It will destroy the feel of the game.

fiction vs fantasy

fantasy = magic in the medieval era, it is something that has no basis in reality and is not plausible or within the realm of being possible

fiction = female soldiers in the medieval era; there were female human beings in the medieval era, that have hands which are able of picking a sword up and swinging it around. this falls within the realms of being possible and is plausible

I've had a suspicion that the Candy Cane is a reskin of a future saber weapon because it doesn't share stats with any other weapon, or am I just crazy?

no it's a branch (peasant weapon)
