Actually, to add more to this which probably is more relevant due to its origins, Skullgirls has an alternate play mode called Typing of the Skullgirls much in the vein of Dead but the intent of how fast words can be typed in place of conventional fighting game mechanics is to actually allow players who aren't proficient at a joystick and keys to have a way to fight with proficent players on a more even playing field.
However, for Retarded 60, Wu's only ripping that system off because it's the most straightfoward method to port the existing gameplay of "reaction speed input." Just replace touchscreen button commands with how fast you can type.
"We turned all of the events in the game to be more like Typing of the Dead. You know the scene where Holiday’s over the bridge and there’s that showdown with [redacted]? What happens now is you end up typing words like “BETRAYAL”."
Is Brianna Wu the least subtle human being to ever exist?
Anyways, since I originally only got interested enough in her to look her up because of her holocaust/LOLacaust of a game, let's get back to topic...
1. Does Brianna EVER speak at public events that are strictly gaming related? No asspatting events on "equality in games" or a lefty-female-whatever-event, but strictly something gaming/coding related?
Because she seems to have two extremely thin excuses for the criticism she's getting:
"welp, they're just saying mean things cuz I'm a woman!" and...
"well, it's not perfect, BUT we only had 4 people/half a million dollars and 4 years to finish it!"
I can imagine that for people who occasionally play Angry Birds, but don't have any exposure to games beyond that, may buy these two arguments. but surely anybody who games even just occasionally (let alone someone with actual coding experience) can immediately recognize what a gigantic lump of shit Revolution 60 is, no?
Looks shitty, no? But wait, those letters?!? They weren't in the iOS game? Nope, that's cause this is supposedly the steam version, where the lame touchscreen fighting system has been replaced with something even lamer. The player has to use his keyboard to write whatever words get shown on the screen, I shit you not!
As I said earlier, SJWs are naturally full of fail, and infect anything they touch with fail. Here is a perfect example. A semi "fun"fighting mode? Can't have that now! Let's fag it up a bit and make it fail harder! Instead of tapping things you have to spell "S P I N K I C K"!
Who needs Olympe de Gouges, Emmeline Pankhurst, Simone de Beauvoir, Rosa Luxemburg, Shulamith Firestone or Irmtraud Morgner when you can have Holiday and friends??

Hey, that's just part of the new revolutionizing emotional game play Bri-Bri is bringing out. Instead of good writing that will convey feelings she will just write out the word. Happy, scared, anxious, now there will be no more guessing! GOTY again! Stay tuned for RevTurd 62 where the typing is replaced by emoticons, spelling is for the patriarchy.
I just read that dev chat, and it's both enlightening and worthy of facepalm:
Right! Before I started working on this, my primary work before had been in illustration doing 2D artwork. I had literally never used a 3D program before Revolution 60, which I think kind of speaks to my, “Let’s go in there and do it!” kind of attitude.
Basically, Wu straight up admits why the 3D sucks, he just plunged in without attempting to hone his craft, he was learning as he went along. Bad idea, especially if you are making something you want to profit off of, since this only lengthens development time and costs due to your incompetence.
One thing after working with 3D models now every day for five years is, my sense of what I think looks right in 3D has expanded for the better.
If what is currently in Rev 60 is "better", then Wu's first efforts must have been epically shittier than the turds we currently see.
Sabriel: I’ve heard you talk on Twitter about the redesigns you’ve made on the main characters. What are some of the things you’ve done and what has been the driving force behind these changes?
Brianna: First of all, we have to rerig all models and do things like verify the skeletal mesh, making sure it looks right. We use bone influencing joint system, which means we don’t use morph targets. There are bones underneath Holiday, and when Holiday is animated, you literally have bones that are flying around and moving. We have to make sure that when she’s moving we have to make sure the right parts of her skin are moving. It’s a very complicated process and by drastically changing a character, we have to make sure that it’s still going to work.
Wu, are you kidding? Rigging bone mapping isn't that damn hard if you have a good idea what you intend to do and leave yourself a margin of error so animation mistakes can be corrected. I mean, damn, it shouldn't be that hard to add scripting to correct for actor height, unless you don't know how to code worth a damn, and the bone map should be rigged so they snap to the skeleton, something an idiot using Blender could pull off. Also, you picked a static, hard to change skeletal model early and didn't redo things once you realized the hassle, which anyone with a brain would have picked up early in development? Methinks you fucked up, were too proud to admit it, and decided to go ahead with pounding square pegs into round holes.
As for why we’re doing redesigns, I had my consciousness raised about why oversexualized bodytypes being the norm in media are problematic. I love gorgeous women but for me, to feel really good about this game release, I realized that I was in a position to take a step back and redo the character models.
Again Wu, surely you realize the contradiction here: To be a good SJW, you wouldn't have oversexualized the art in the first place, so you just admitted it was based on your personal taste, not for the crowd you beg for Patreon money from, so you had to redo the art somewhat to keep the cash going. Well, that and mask the fact Holiday is a bad Miranda Lawson ripoff.
Oh my god it's like those shitty simulator games that people make so youtubers will play them on their channel, but they were actually serious about it
Actually I think Crimson on the right in the self insert, Holiday and Minuete are both in Election Eve but I think Brea P Anatamata which was the self insert in EE has evolved into Crimson.
Why... Why does she have those horrible scars on her face? Did somebody cut her with a bottle?!? Or is that like the head of her twin that she absorbed in the womb or something equally creepy?
I suppose it could be a facial tattoo, which doesn't exactly make it any less weird. Why the hell would they all have facial tattoos?!?
Oh? Do go on! This should be good, there are plenty of things with Steam that are problematic: Their near monopoly, revenue sharing, Steam Machine as a platform... The games getting too large for people to download... I wonder which of the many relevant issues that bothers her!
is you will boot it up, start playing it, and it assumes you have an external mouse and keyboard.
Whaaa... The fuck?!?! NO IT DOESNT! It works just fine with whatever keyboard and trackpad. Trackpads are pretty shitty, which is why people would usually use an external mouse or game pad. But outside of FPS games NO!
This really shows how little she knows about games and gaming, and that she's dumb as a rock.
It's not even a "welp, think about the casual gamers" thing, since plenty of people who DONT game, use an external mouse anyways.
Many people these days use laptops and a trackpad to play games, so we [Giant Spacekat] assume that your hands are going to stay in one position, so we went through and changed the game interface to work with this idea.
Because clearly it's too much trouble to have people move their hands?!?
This is almost as stupid and made up on the spot, as when she said that play testers who were gamers "tapped the glass screen so furiously, that I was worried they'd break the iPad".
TLDR: Its super bothersome that STEAM assumes you have a mouse and keyboard. So we made a game where you just need a keyboard.
Isnt he basically admitting, that she could have spent most of those 500 K$ on orphans in Africa, gotten a job or internship learning very basic 3D for two years, and then proceed to do a better game in much less time?!?
Surely there's some recognition here of what a turd it is, eh?

Ah yes, but does it really matter about "a more realistic body image"?
Surely he must be aware of the fact that no matter what they do and how inclusive itll be, it'll be guilty of some kind of think-crime.
Such is the way of the SJW.
There's always somebody willing to go just a bit further with their identity-masturbation and point out that it's "problematic" that there are no Black/Latina/Arabic/midget women? And it's ableist not to feature a deaf/blind female protagonist, and where are the women in wheelchairs?
Why aren't they represented, it's nothing less than DIGITAL EUGENICS I tell ya!
There is no pleasing them.
And oddly enough, I've never heard complaints about "lack of representation" outside of middle-class, primarily white. university students.
Unlike 90% of SJWs, I actually have friends and colleagues who are black, middle eastern or South Asian. And not once have this come up.
All of the months of hard work and we get an on rails typing game? Man this is the game FOR gamers. So many people being represented by this genre crushing gem of media.
