Added 2019-04-17 08:27:14 +0000 UTCIn news that will excite the important "military nerd" fan demographic (known population: 2), Female Agent now features regional camouflage! On the start screen and during agency training, US agents will wear UCP, Canadians CADPAT, Brits DPM and Aussies and Kiwis "jelly drop" AUSCAM.
Besides hopefully pleasing both ArsenalJacob and Bobby Bromeliad, the camo pattern is the main visual change that occurs when you switch nationalities during character creation. Using the avatar to tell a part of the story feels more elegant and compelling to me than just upping the word count, and to me this small touch is meant to tell the player that their character is part of her nation's war machine.
Note the variations for each body type and also the new shoulder artwork. We drew the shoulders in a little, and relaxed their position a little, to make her look less boxy and more natural. As originally suggested by Sheol, each of the three body types has a different shoulder width.
(We experimented with some narrower shoulder widths, but that made the character look weak.)

Yeah! I'm putting together a website for the game which will include a planned features list. You guys will be able to nag me to move things up/down the priority list. :-)

2019-04-19 08:52:56 +0000 UTCJust finished running through 1.4.7, I am curious though, new on here but was wondering if there was somewhere we could see/anticipate releases? I mean I'm really curious as to how the main mission will unfold :)

2019-04-18 12:39:19 +0000 UTCIs there going to be a point when other ethnicities are added into the game? Black, Asian, Hispanic, First Nation/Aboriginal/Native American?

2019-04-17 21:16:28 +0000 UTCGreat, now I'm going to be lobbing for future nationalities based purely on how cool their camo is. Swedish M90 and German Flecktarn please. :)

2019-04-17 21:15:51 +0000 UTCThe shoulders look great!

2019-04-17 16:28:36 +0000 UTCI still think the shoulders are a bit too wide, but this is definitely much better.
