The act of moving the game out of Early Access has made creating a female dwarf more of a challenge because of the increased cost involved. Everything would have to now be doubled up.” We have a lot of cosmetics in the game – a lot more than we imagined we’d create. “And now this production cost is actually becoming real again, in the sense that we have a lot of voice lines. “The problem now is, of course, we still haven’t added in female dwarves,” Lundgaard continues.
And it didn’t feel like it wasn’t necessary in terms of proving the game.”įrom there, the focus shifted from releasing the game to getting it out of Early Access, with the aim of adding in female dwarves later. At that point, we had already gone quite quite a while in this direction. Then we got in Coffee Stain to give us some financial boost. “And then we would risk not getting this game to the goal line. “There was no discussion if we should add a female because double up on everything,” Lundgaard says. At that early stage of development, even the monsters were placeholder assets – stock models from Epic’s catalogue that were available in Unreal Engine. Whether you are the Gunner, Engineer, or any other class, it’s the same character model beneath those cosmetics and equipment loadouts. One such decision was to make a single character model for the player characters. “So we just set some really low goals in terms of scope, making sure that we took decisions that we could create this game – even if we ended up with no money from nobody, you could create something.” “So when we started out, we didn’t know if we would ever be able to make this game,” Ghost Ship CEO Søren Lundgaard explains. While you can customise yourself with tattoos, different hairstyles, armour, and magnificent beards, all four classes only allow you to be male. Deep Rock Galactic is a four-player co-op game where you and three friends dive into the dark to mine for ore and kill aliens as a team of battle-hardened dwarves.
