River City Girls' concept was conceived three years back

River City Girls has been attracting a lot of attention since its debut trailer, and rightfully so. It looks like a kick-ass beat'em-up that puts the women front-and-center. In an interview with Dtoid, River City Girls writer/director Adam Tierney explains that this game idea actually first started out three years ago.

We’ve been working on this game for roughly the past year-and-a-half, and I think the earliest concepts go back to almost three years ago, so it’s really exciting to finally unveil our game to the public. The reaction has been amazing — so many people seem to already love the game, and all the fanart has been incredible. I can’t wait until the full game is released and everyone can get their hands on it.
