That was actually the intended 0.20 release.
But due to popular demand, we've changed course and are currently working on a way for anyone to write content for Orrias with zero involvement from the dev team.
That is actually happening on the next release. Hooray! So finally my response to the question, "when will we have females in the game?" Will be, "as soon as you or someone else writes them in!"
Version 0.20 will be me fine tuning this system, and after that hopefully I can get back to my big map project.
