RPG Players Are Recreating Female Character Hairstyles IRL And The Results Are Hilarious

RPG Players Are Recreating Female Character Hairstyles IRL And The Results Are Hilarious https://ift.tt/kXgSaBL Regardless of your gender, if you've ever created a female or femme-presenting player-character--especially in an RPG--you've almost certainly encountered an issue that has been plaguing the genre since games first made the jump from 2D to 3D: really, really, really bad hairstyle options for female characters. And look, I get it. Animating a million little strands of hair is difficult and time-consuming, and devs don't always have the funding to make a ton of flowing hairstyle options with long, luscious locks.  But that doesn't stop them from attempting to portray longer hair--it just tends to be styled in a convoluted up-do that says, "See, this character totally has a lot of hair, she just spends six hours every morning following intricate Ye Olde Hair Tutorials to ensure her locks will not move no matter how many heavy attacks she takes." ...

As covered by Eurogamer, the talk explained that the Zelda developers went into ToTK wanting to expand on BoTW's two core concepts: the "vast and seamless Hyrule," and "multiplicative gameplay"--where physics systems create novel solutions in-game even where those solutions weren't explicitly designed for.

The expansion on multiplicative gameplay came from the introduction of the Ultrahand, which fundamentally changed the game by allowing players to combine objects with almost endless possibilities. Early in the development chain, this unsurprisingly resulted in a lot of chaos, with lead physics engineer Takahiro Takayama relating that he would often hear his team exclaiming "it broke!" or "it went flying!" to which he would say "I know--we'll deal with it later. Just focus on getting the gameplay together and trying it out."
