Ethnic heads and female voice

I mean, it's called King Arthur's Gold, meaning it's probably taking place in medieval England (hence all the white people). Also, pretty sure there was plans for a skin tone changer, but it never worked out.

 

Well I believe we ran out of the amount of additional heads we could add into the game because of coding issues. Or maybe Geti made that up to stop people asking for custom heads.
That said if we are historical about it we are talking post roman empire britain. The Bretons of the time still traded to some extent with the rest of the empire and would have traders and people from Hispania and Morocco and so on. Non whites were uncommon outside of trading ports but still there.

Neither of these are bad idea but the question is whether they are gonna be things the devs pay attention to if they have other concerns.

 

There's actually a black head ingame as Guro's custom head. Looks very problematic on the white builder body.

We can add more normal heads, just not custom ones without messing with the head code.

There was actually just meant to be a skin colour setting/option that would automatically recolour the skin of the head and class sprites. It was implemented but disabled over concerns of taking too much texture memory. I'll see if we can get it working again at some point.

 

Voice actors are expensive and getting suitable sounds for free can be tricky. Wouldn't be impossible but just fixing the pitch modulating (properly, instead of the current x2 speed super-pitch) would probably be simpler.

 

Considering there were complaints (in this thread) about using the wilhelm scream; getting sounds for fall dmg, injury/stun, falling scream, and wilhelm is the minimum. Its definitely the way to do it for game jams or if we're in a pinch - the thing to take from it is that sadly, its not a priority for us.

 

I kind of like the female character's "Echk" noise, I had no idea it was just a sped up version of the male grunt...

 

I think it'd work a bit better sped up a little less - you're right that it totally changes the feel of the sound but it's over too quickly - and the pitch changes are not applied everywhere unfortunately
