Yeah, so when we first started creating Tales of Iron, we wanted to make our own version of the classic fantasy game, but we didn't want to be locked in with, like, this is what a dwarf does, this is what an elf does. So we basically assign the races to the different types of animal, but then try and trade it around. So like, The rats are the humans, right?

they are our dwarves but they're not actually dwarves like yeah in towns of iron 2 the owls were meant to be our elves like yes they do have laws and are governed in a more civilized manner but they also make rules that are completely against their own like instincts and nature and that sort of thing so it's interesting to play within those different aspects and like you say giving animals make gives us an easy way to make it feel different to the classic

But, like, the bits that happen around that may be changed depending on mechanics, depending on, you know, things that we want to do or bits that happen in the world.

what we'd like to do if there was like an animated series or a graphic novel, you know, I need that up without, without giving spoilers, you know, like that end scene of the game, there's a lot of explaining that could happen between that and wherever the future begins, you know?
