With Father\u2019s Day just around the corner, this was the perfect occasion for the developers and cast to come together and celebrate the big milestone in a commemorative YouTube livestream held on June 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"6\u670818\u65e5\uff08\u6728\uff09\u3088\u308b7\u6642\u914d\u4fe1|\u300e\u30d7\u30e9\u30b0\u30de\u30bf\u300f\u5927\u30d2\u30c3\u30c8\u8a18\u5ff5\uff01\u7236\u306e\u65e5\u30b9\u30da\u30b7\u30e3\u30eb\u30a4\u30d9\u30f3\u30c8\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XaweVCnHYsE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason why Father\u2019s Day was picked for such an occasion is probably obvious to anyone remotely familiar with the title, whose story explores the \u201cfound family\u201d dynamics of protagonist Hugh and his android companion Diana. Upon the game\u2019s release, many players agreed that Diana\u2019s cute and \u201cdaughterly\u201d demeanor definitely triggered their parental instincts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, balancing this Diana\u2019s cuteness was apparently quite a serious task for the developers, producer Naoto Oyama revealed in the livestream. Apparently, Pragmata\u2019s development team had what he nicknames a \u201cDiana Police,\u201d who conducted thorough checks to make sure that her character was expressed with natural childlike innocence, without becoming too contrived or potentially annoying to users. This includes voice acting direction, as well as instructions to the motion capture actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218-578330001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218-578330001.jpg 960w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218-578330001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260218-578330001-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked about the Diana Police in a subsequent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespark.jp\/article\/2026\/06\/19\/168196.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Game*Spark,<\/a> game director Cho Yonghee revealed that most of its members were actually women. \u201cIt\u2019s easier for women to detect the \u201ccunning\u201d kind of cuteness in female characters, whereas men would probably go <em>What\u2019s the difference<\/em>? (laughs) So I\u2019m pretty sure all of the Diana Police members were women,\u201d Cho commented.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nao Toyama, the voice of Diana in the Japanese dub of Pragmata, shared in the livestream that she was directed \u201cnot to make it too cute, but speak like a child would naturally speak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, when developing Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/resident-evil-requiems-leon-kennedy-became-a-hot-uncle-thanks-to-hawk-eyed-female-capcom-staff-who-reviewed-even-the-finest-wrinkles-on-his-neck-director\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/resident-evil-requiems-leon-kennedy-became-a-hot-uncle-thanks-to-hawk-eyed-female-capcom-staff-who-reviewed-even-the-finest-wrinkles-on-his-neck-director\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> had a similar \u201cboard\u201d of female developers who were there to review the new, aged-up design of Leon Kennedy<\/a>.
