The Team Fortress 2 Blog has a really insightful article on the design process behind the demoman class. Most interesting is the fact that the demoman started out as a red-haired Caucasian which, in the author’s words was “perhaps a little too much like a groundskeeper in Springfield.” These behind-the-scenes looks at the game design process are really interesting to read, making the TF2 blog a worthy bookmark.
