(PSN)MoRockaPDX Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) I wrote this article that posted April 27th on the $#*(@ Team Alpha Podcast website. It serves as an introduction to what Warframe is and the some speculation on the posthuman/transhuman possibilities that all the mono-Tenno postulation eludes too. http://www.*@##$teamalpha.com/warframe-the-great-tenno-speculation/'>http://www.*@##$teamalpha.com/warframe-the-great-tenno-speculation/ Edited May 2, 2015 by (PS4)MoRockaPDX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 There's a new update every week. Sometimes several times per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playford Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) When it comes to body diversity, the reason is entirely technical, all warframes are animated on the same skeleton. Having each warframe with their own skeleton would significantly increase workload and create problems when switching animations on waframes.

Having each warframe with their own skeleton would significantly increase workload and create problems when switching animations on waframes. The skeleton resizes, though, and the ultimate body type is determined by the model. So it's not like it would be impossible to have someone more Camryn Manheim and less Carmen Electra. EDIT: Or even Peter Dinklage, really. Edited April 29, 2015 by Llyssa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)MoRockaPDX Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 There's a new update every week. Sometimes several times per week. Yes, though sometimes there is little but fixes. So, I averages it out a little. Either way, the update cycle is pretty breakneck speed.

EDIT: Or even Peter Dinklage, really. Yeah, the game design conceit is getting a little weak, though I am hesitant to trivialize the work that goes into making a game. It is a choice to make the effort to be more inclusive. Something I think more game companies should do and be encouraged to do. But, really I am focused on the ambiguity in the lore and the way the Tenno are presented in-game, in-univierse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
