When will female models be in [Star Citizen]?asked by Yoko
TL;DRFemale models are in progress, with no release date given; alpha versions deliberately keep player options limited because more options make testing harder, but they are not said to be ruled out.
Working on it. Lots of check-ins in Shotgun this week about the female models, and one of our concept outsourcers, Rob McKinnon, he's been in the studio this week working on it live right here with everybody else.
I've seen a lot of clothes for them too.
So it is in process.
Although I do know that one thing they try to avoid with these alpha versions is too much player choice, which sounds not intuitive, but the reality is, and we talk about this specifically with sliders, if you have a slider that has 10 different points for view or whatever resolution or anything like that, then a QA person has to test every single situation five times or 10 times because there's these 10 different options. One thing you tend to see in game development, proper game development, where we are special crazy game development, but in proper game development, the options come much later in the process, because the systems are perfected by then and you know exactly what you're breaking when you add something to it.
So it's not to say that it's not coming. It's just at this point in development, we do try to keep as much of it simple.
