    Will there ever be a female character option? My wife will not play this game for that reason alone (That's exactly what she told me). I am assuming that the game is loosing a portion of female player base due to this....And this is not becasue I want nude chicks in the game (I know someone will try to say that).

    Thoughts?

    I doubt adding female characters to the game is a high priority for Facepunch right now. Right now the character models have no impact on gameplay whatsoever so you should tell your wife to stop being foolish.

    i think its a high priority, this way i can run nude as a chick and not have the fear of being shot while resourcing.

    Yeah shouldn't be a priority because it has no impact on the game, just like what michaelrule4 said.

    This is so dumb. Female player models do not need to be added to game. If a girl doesn't want to play a game just because there is no female character then that is her issue and she obviously does not value the game for its content rather then its looks. Also the comment about "My wife has a ding dong and it's weird", well then turn the censor on? Really this game isn't a porno.

    Pointless. 99% of the time it will be used by pervy dudes rather than actual women.

    Game launches with a white male model, guys defend it telling everyone it's no big deal. If they had made the character a black woman, this forum would be full of people asking for new models.

    A tiny bit of choice when starting needs to be added. Just the basics. male/female and some skin color.

    It's more of a matter of principle to my wife. She appreciates and plays MANY games, (even with no female protaganist). Based off how many other games there are, with both gender choices available, her motivation to play Rust is less-so, because of being male-only. It isn't foolish, it's her preference, so if it came about that Facepunch ever chose to add female models, that would be a plus to the female player base. Hell, it would be to the male player base too, lol.

    Its funny though, the game is only in ALPHA. Maybe when the game is done they can add "Luxuries". For now I hope they work on finishing the game and not about silly character skins.

    Well this thread derailed pretty quickly.

    At this stage of the game, the character model shouldn't matter. We're testing game mechanics. It'll be prettied up later.
    This is the same reason why everything gives you chicken breast at the moment. It's functional, not logical.

    So yeah, in the future there's a high likelihood of a female model, but right now that's rather trivial.

    Like Garry once said, the priority right now is to create a stable base so they can build upon that. In order to have a stable base they need to focus on bug fixing, stability fixes and anti-cheat methods.
    Adding something as silly as female player models just because some girlfriends/wifes want to play the game is not really worth the trouble to create a model for it with animations.

    Right now we just go for the "You can't really see if its a male or female in the suit" approach, seems to keep the happy for now.

    That's the point.
    So why we don't just put the players into a spacesuit, like in SE?

    Uhh have you ever been part of a raid that has 10+ people all in full kevlar all holding m4s.. its stupid and you can't tell anybody apart. MORE character models and MORE ways to differentiate yourselves IS A TOP PRIORITY!

    it's definitely not something that they should make a priority right now, but i'll add my two cents on this.

    it is awkward as fuck hearing a chick's voice coming from a bald, naked man. i do hope they add not only the option to be female, but also some character customization. it's incredibly annoying not knowing who the hell anyone is until they are right in your face. this game is meant to simulate a survival situation. even irl people can at least recognize familiars. you won't have as many instances of accidental shooting and will have less confusion in group pvp.

    For this problem they integrate the 'color your armor' stuff.

    does she realize she couldn't see her own character anyways? just tell her you'll set it up for her and then say "yep you got a female skin enjoy the game!" that simple, unless of course, you just wanna see nude chicks

    As much as I love the idea of a female character added to the game, I think they should focus more on current character diversity like skin color, hair color, and possibly height or girth first. If they focus on those first, and iron out any bugs or clipping, then it would be easier to add a whole new character model.

    Here is my rant on this.

    [rant]
    This is like how Girls complain when Men leave the toilet seat up. look at portal, the main protagonist is a Women yet I do not care and most Men do not care, we actually like the idea. On the other hand, in Rust we have this Male "protagonist", and we have people wanting a women character, because it "feels weird" being a "guy". To me this is wanted by all those little boys who want to run around as women with these "super boobs". I do agree some people legitimately want women characters because it feels weird, but just deal with it. Again with the toilet thing, do men complain when you girls leave the toilet seat down? No, so learn to deal with it. Also it just seems to be women complaining, not Asians or blacks complaining that the character isn't black or Asian. In the end I agree that Character customization is a nice idea but it seems like political correctness is coming into play because of the fact that there are just men. I think it is just that, and honestly I don't like it I want it to be different and not "correct"

    Sorry If I seem bigoted but I am not, it is just you.
