"Kova" female protagonist is said to be based on a real-life herstory. The character was written from a woman's point of view with the hope that it can help encourage the younger generation of women and girls about breaking gender roles. As of this writing, Black Hive Media is still keeping mum about the game's story for fear of spoilers.
Lead Protagonist Background Revealed
The "Kova" lead code and writer Many Lowry noted that the "Kova" protagonist is based on a real-life story. The female character is set to give honor to the retired Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova. It should be noted that Tereshkova had been the first women in space.
The "Kova" developer explained that Tereshkova attempted and accomplished a feat in the 60s originally taken on by men. While Black Hive Media spilled the beans into its lead protagonist, the story remains to be held under bars. Lowry only revealed that each character and mission in "Kova" will add to the overarching storyline and lead to the answer of the big Fermi Paradox question, JS Station X reported.
It should be noted that the Fermi Paradox is the theory that agrees with the possibility that aliens exist but digs in for the evidence of their interactions with Earth. While keeping mum about the big narrative details, the "Kova" developers have revealed information about gameplay and art style.
"Kova" is set to feature intense shooting in battles and crafting to maintain the ship. Both factions have different aims, offer new items and affect the dialogue with NPCs.
