Possiblity of adding male character varients in the future?

[Zhylaw]

I think its great for a change that a game has such great female representation, shoe on the other foot and all that but as a role player it would be great to have optional male variants added at some point down the line. I know this is based on a board game or something that had an all girl party but I don't see any reason why some dude options would be an issue.

Either way, cheers game looks great.

This game is based on the One Deck Dungeon tabletop game and has all of the same content. It would be up to Asmadi Games to decide what heroes to add. We're quite happy with that and hope you give it a try!

No male characters? Not allowing players to choose between male or female is a show stopper for me. Add the option to choose male or female, Ill buy this game.

Gee, you must not play a lot of games then, with all the male-only characters they have.

Totally agree. Not buying your Indentity politics.

Feminist NPC SJW game ???

Nope. Just a game that happens to have all female characters, same as any number of games that happen to have all male characters.

... ok let's see how it's going to sell.

I've never played a "Male-only" game. Can you please give me a clue to what you are talking about?

You don't even really play a "character" with a personality in this game. All you do, is rolling dice, and putting those dice into slots to complete challenges. If rolling dice feels any different to you depending on whether the face on the upper left corner of the screen looks male or female, then you're just killing your own enjoyment by overloading a simple dice puzzle game with your own issues.

Does playing "Ms Pac-Man" really feel substantially different to you than playing Pac-Man, just because the main character is female? Because that's the level of characterization that we're talking about here.

The game's core mechanic is pretty well designed btw - very easy to learn, quite challenging to master, with different paths to choose in any given situation (and it requires skill to see which path is the best one). It's certainly worth trying out, imho.

Let it go.

The bottom line is, this is a digital conversion of a physical board game, with artwork supplied by the original board game creator. Unless the creator of the physical board game provides alternate artwork, you're not going to see it in the digital version.

If you can't even be bothered to put together your own argument, and simply post a youtube video without even referencing how it would relate to the discussion, I'll go down to the same level of non-effort and simply assume that the video supports my argument. Thanks. ;D

(If you actually want to have a meaningful discussion, feel free to put together an actual argument that's related to the game that this forum is about.)

I am still bewildered by people's double standard reasonings, TBH.

Games that happen to have all male characters = Fine, creators have a right to include what they want in games.
Game that happens to have all female characters = Evil SJW creators shoving identity politics down your throat.

More relevantly I feel like at this point any discussion on this game asking about "why all women" should just be auto-locked as it never goes anywhere productive.

[Sleekie]

I like how you're bewildered by something that didn't happen at all in the discussion. And I can't help but note that whenever someone questions this silly 'they're all female because other games in the past were all male, that'll teach you!' line of illogic, the response is always 'quick, lock the thread!'

It never goes anywhere productive because one side refuses all discussion or creates fun strawmen of evil gender-criminals to attack like you just did.

Lycentia pointed out the double standard of someone only complaining about games with characters of all of the same sex when they're games with all women characters.

I pointed out that "game that happens to have all female characters" =/= "SJW game" after someone made that strawman.

Psyringe pointed out that the game's theming is generic enough that the distinction isn't even terribly relevant to the gameplay.

So the fact that you're now coming in and strawmanning that into "that'll teach you" and similar sentiments regardless of what is actually said by anyone is precisely why I say we might as well just start locking these threads on sight now, as it's similar to what happened in the locked threads.

The fact that you look at discussions full of people coming in screaming about "SJWs" and "identity politics" and how they're not going to buy the game, for literally no reason other than the game happens to have all female characters, and regardless of what arguments everyone else actually does or doesn't make, and still conclude it's that somehow magically really everyone else who refuses all discussion and creates strawmen, is kind of exact proof of why these threads should just be auto-locked.

I still remain bemused whenever someone claims I'm wrong about my observing people do a certain thing and then proceeds to do exactly the very thing I made observations about.

(Also when people try claiming something wasn't said in the discussion when it's literally right there on the same page plain as day. Like, seriously?)
