Steampunk Feminists Vs. Zombies

[TsunamiWombat]

I would totally play that game.

Yeah i'm in too.

Also this exists - The Bone Shaker by Cherie Priest is a steampunk novel with feminist undertones (it's about a widow confronting the spectre of her abusive husband and rescuing her headstrong son. By shooting Zombies. Kindof. Admittedly she gets rescued a couple of times but she's the protagonist and does her own asskicking. Also, there's a pissed off native american woman with knives whose effectively the biggest badass in the book)

So where do I drop-off my money?

 

[burningdragoon]

Of course of course. This bullshit is fucking everywhere. I'm so sick of all these... zombie games. >.> Okay, I would also play it.

 

[Zhukov]

Yeah... I'd probably buy that. Although only after issuing death threats to the developers.

Also, I'm honestly, non-ironically, non-sarcastically liking those character designs.

 

[Ukomba]

A steam punk Left4Dead like game with 3 or 4 kick ass women characters? I'd buy it twice!

 

[Arren Kae]

n00bs don't get the reference to that feminist ***** swindling people.

 

[DaRigger420]

No proper feminist would ever wear a corset. Get it right, guys!

Sorry, but I personally know a few raging fems and they enjoy their corsets. One of them told me she wears one as a top to clubs just to lure in unsuspecting guys so she can rip em apart with intelligent conversation and debate. She has a 4.0 and BS in Psychiatry.

As for would this make a good game, in a word... YES! It would sell to a wide variety of players, has zombies (a big seller these days) and could make a good co-op shooter.

Not to mention the fact that if it were made to look like the characters shown in the panel, it would give girls a good role model. The panel shows attractive ladies that are strong, self-suffecient and (gasp) FULLY CLOTHED! ...this does not mean I dont enjoy games like Lollipop Chainsaw or Tomb Raider, I am a guy after all.

 

[Mamzelle_Kat]

This is all kinds of badass!

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

I'm gonna have to agree with most of the others, that artwork looks awesome, if the game looked like the artwork, I'd play it, and I don't typically enjoy zombie games.

As I've seen though, a lot of these games with awesome artwork, don't EVER look like that.

please please please please make a wallpaper of that first frame.

I am so in love with that blond girls dress(i would also play it).

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

What do you mean it's not a real kickstarter?

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Well that pretty much covers everything I like.

I assume the power ups are made of chocolate yes?

(I still don't think Sarkeesian swindled anyone. It's strange how no other kickstarters get rape threats huh...)

How long will it take before someone picks up the Girl Genius IP for vidyagaems?

 

[I.Muir]

I get the feeling this will happen at some point
and when it does, it won't be feminism
it will just be women brutalizing men
or may even still come off as sexist against women again

Still I like steam punk
and I like ladies
So id play this

 

[Sabrestar]

I would definitely buy this. Especially if that concept art is accurate.

 

[TechTim]

i keep clicking donate but nothing happens

 

[the December King]

... Actually I wouldn't play it.

But I AM jealous that it would make drug- money ammounts of cash.

 

[Paradoxrifts]

*Digs a pit, covers it with sticks & leaves.*

Wouldn't it have to be sort of like Lost Vikings to be a proper feminist game?

Include a thickset girl with the muscle, a tall n' lanky girl and a short swift one to round them out for the sake of showing a greater representation of the shapes and sizes real women come in. Rather than just pretty girls in Victorian-styled industrial revolution fetish wear?

 

[Ledan]

Can... can someone make this game?
T'would be awesome

 

[OtherSideofSky]

If someone actually made this, they'd probably fuck it up and fill it full of second and third wave terminology that completely fails to reflect the beliefs or work of the early first-wave feminist thinkers who actually belong in this setting (this happens even within just this comic strip). This is unfortunate, because a lot of people (including many contemporary feminists) could do with a reminder of who they were and what they did.

 

[TheMann]

Wow, I would play the hell out of that game. Some badass gals waste zombies in steam punk gear? That would be awesome. Oh, and the artwork in the first panel is amazing. I'm guessing that could be the guest artist's work. Well, he did a great job.
