Mort in daylight The diverse cast of Killers and Survivors obtained his first LGBT+ character recently when it was confirmed that the rude and badly David King was gay. This revelation was shared in the most recent volume of the archives of the game, a function that provides details of the story and rewards for completing challenges. Since this is the first LGBT+ inclusion in the game, Mort in daylight the developer Behavior Interactive gave this announcement his own news page also, for those who are not regular visitors of the files.
In statements to comicbook.com, Muerto in the light of day the creative director Dave Richard said that the study worked with the gaymerx organization to determine two things: if there was "a good option for an LGBTQ narrative," said Richard, and if the community and developers were ready for that type of history. Based in part on Gaymerx's analysis, Behavior determined that David King would be the candidate for this initiative.
Mort in daylight has been active in the LGBT+ community for a while, both in terms of accessories in the game and in support of various content creators, so why was now the right time for an LGBT+ narrative? Richard told us that near the beginning of the day in daylight_, Survivor was destined to be a "shell character" complemented with context fragments so that players could form their own stories. As the game evolved with the files and more characters were added, relationships began to appear naturally in the background stories. The Killer known as The Nurse had a husband, for example, and Ace Visconti is framed as a womanizer who speaks softly, but LGBT+ stories were absent in those biographies. Richard said the community pointed out this discrepancy that led developers to find ways to rectify that omission.
"Then our LGBTQ community told us:" Well, you have this, so you're not following your own rule, "Richard said. “And we said:‘ You're right. You're right'. So let's make sure to do this. Okay, let's take the time to develop the correct angle and the right story to have a great narrative that does not feel symbolic. And I am seeing that for David King's narrative ».
But David is not a new character, and he did not always describe him as "gay", at least not in regard to tradition. Mort in daylight is worried in memory 342 of the second volume of the game, even David's ex -girlfriend was mentioned. That does not contradict or invalidate Behaviour's announcement, but so far, that is all that players knew about David in terms of his sexuality.
Retroactive ads such as that are sometimes criticized by those who would have wanted to see a new character created instead of seeing an existing reconfigured. Richard said he considered an LGBT+ narrative in a new chapter, and is still planned for the future, but that this retroactive revelation was decided taking into account the speed.
"Definitely, making a complete chapter around an LGBTQ narrative was and remains part of our plan in the future," said Richard. «But we wanted to make sure that this content was in the hands of our player as soon as possible. And make a chapter, especially when it is, say, outside our comfort zone, it takes time, much longer. And we plan the chapter in advance. So we are not so agile. So we would have to wait even more. That is why we choose to do it retroactively. It is one of the reasons ».
Even before this announcement about David, parts of the community had taken their own conclusions, or at least expressed their wishes, about that survival and others through Fanart and sending different characters from each other. If you sail through any trend Mort in daylight theme on social networks, there are many possibilities that you will find some ships by David King X Dwight Fairfield. Richard did not enter all the specific factors in the decision to choose David for this announcement LGBT +, but he said that the feeling of the community, including those ships, definitely played a role.
"Of course. Yes, he weighed in the balance in David's choice, ”Richard said when asked if he had seen all the fanart and if that kind of things were weighed for behavior. «David is a popular character. He is loved by many different players, regardless of his origin, but he is definitely one of the favorites in LGBTQ ships with Dwight. So that definitely weighed ».
So how does this announcement feel a precedent for future volumes and the expansion of the day in the daylight_ science? All survivors or murderers from now on need their own great revelation as long as that of David's? Ricardo doesn't believe it.
"No, definitely not. It is not something that we will begin to do, such as having statistics in the biography that say their exact age, their exact sexuality and things like that, ”said Richard. «We do not do this. We leave the interpretation of our players a lot. And it also helps when identifying these characters leave some elements to the interpretation of our players ».
Those who wish to obtain more information about David King can play volume 11, which is currently available in the day in daylight and also share ideas about The Twins and The Observer's stories. The behavior also has an amulet of pride in the game that can be redeemed now. With a special code.
