Revolution 60 Hopes to Be Greenlit for PCs [UPDATE]

[UPDATE: Giant Spacekat will be altering the proportions of the characters’ bodies for the PC version of Revolution 60. In an update to their Greenlight page, developer Wu writes:

I have a shelf of anime books I learned to draw from. […] But the truth is, having learned to draw from anime is not a great basis for running a studio that’s held up as a poster child of feminism. To say it bluntly, I screwed up. My consciousness has been raised watching Anita Sarkeesian’s Feminist Frequency videos, along with many other people’s.

[…] I feel compelled to point out, we cannot radically alter the character’s (sic) height, joint position, weight, or other things without completely redoing the game cameras and animations. Most people have no concept of how 3D works or the engineering limitations, so trust me – this is a non-trivial change. But we’ll do what we can within practical constraints.

The update is a copy of a post Wu wrote on the game’s blog a month ago. No images are available of the intended changes.]


Revolution 60, the game described in its first press release as “Heavy Rain meets Mass Effect“, may soon be coming to PCs, provided that enough people vote for it.

In the mobile version, players touch and swipe as an all-female team of elite operatives who go into space in order to defuse a situation caused by a malfunctioning US orbital weapons platform.

Our Roberto Nieves reviewed it a while ago, and quite enjoyed it. You can read his thoughts here.

You can find out more and/or vote on Revolution 60 over on its Greenlight page.
