Alien diversity in Endless Dungeon

Hello everybody.


First of all, I apologize for my bad English. My native tongue is Russian.


Hear me out. Dungeon of the Endless is my all-time favorite game. I've been playing it for years and can't get enough, but there is one little thing I don't like. It's the surplus of anthropogenic heroes. There are 28 heroes in DotE and 20 of them are humans. Yes I know, they come from different corners of the Endless Universe, but still they're just people. I'm in love with the great variety of Endless Universe and I managed to partly quench my thirst by playing EL and ES, but I would feel better if DotE was more racially diverse, especially with regard to the Minor Fractions. 


The Major Factions of both EL and ES have already received a lot of attention, but when it comes to Minor Fractions, all I have is their unit in one of my armies in EL which is rarely useful and a tiny article on Endless Wiki. I think we are dealing with some kind of alien fascism here.


Please Amplitude. With the release of Endless Dungeon, you will open a new page in the Endless Universe. Do not fill it with the same trite letters. Give us some more weird looking oompa loompas to play as. Guys like Pulsos, Niris, Bhagaba, Kalmat, Erycis and Jotus.


p.s. The upcoming lunar new year will be the year of the Ox, right? How about making one these guys a playable Endless Dungeon hero and filming a trailer about him? Do this and win the sympathy of a huge Asian audience.

First, don't apologize about your English. If you hadn't mentioned anything about your native tongue, I doubt anybody could have told that you're not a native speaker. You've got nothing to apologize about, and could probably teach a few native speakers I know a thing or two.


Second, I most certainly agree and would love to see a confirmed Amoeba hero, if only so I can make "gelatinous blob got tired of adventurers, so it became one" jokes. Plus, as I've said before, I'll be extremely displeased if a certain hyper-intelligent pug is not playable in ED.

I support diverse racial cast only if there is a plot reason for it. In DotE it was a Mezan prison ship that crashed, so it made sense that most Crew and Prisoners were Mezary, and only Aurigan Natives were mostly non-human.

If it makes sense to have diverse cast on abandoned Space Station in Endless Dungeon, sure; if it's not - same proportion of human/non-human as in DotE will do fine.

As Azure_Fang said, don't apologize for speaking more than one language ;)

DotE had the potential for a great, varied cast. And we got a lot of great characters for it. I had bombarded the devs back then with ideas for more characters, but naturally the studio can't divert more resources to a project because one fan says "Hey, make me an expansion with this stuff!" (which is pretty much what I did say :) ). We gamers like to talk about "bean counters", but it is actually the studio who are the only ones with the information of how much more money they can put into a project.

That said, I do hope the new game will have a great cast with interesting characters. Human and other. Where I have to say, to me personally, the non-human characters stand out more if there are many humans - if the story is, as Sublustris pointed out about the old DotE, human-centric.

Thank you for the kind words everyone. I agree that having either alien or human heroes prevailed in ED for no good reason is categorically not okay, but numerical superiority to some extent could be quite bearable if it's clearly justified in terms of lore.

Definitely.

Very eager to see more info about the game so we can do proper speculation.

It could be so nice to see like Differents aliens from Past games with a strong correlation between their abilities and their race. It could give, in my opinion, more identity for those characters than for humans. By the way i'm saying that without having any knowledge of the game's content.

I had tried to convince the devs to add a set of Hurna heroes to DotE :P

I'd rather have two-headed things like Jotus. Their heads can fight with each other over something insignificant.

Yeah. Jotun was an option in one of the G2G votes. It lost and that is why we have Mizi Kurtiz. There was a very active group of people voting at the time who's voting preference was "hot women". One reason I am so glad Rosetta was given the shape she had - it really disappointed the guy who was running around the steam forum trying to gather votes for "robot boobs".
