How is it trying to write the political intricacies between all the races and planets in Star Citizen in comparison to other games you may have worked on?asked by Zero

Fun.

I haven't worked on another game.

I mean, it's something we've been fleshing out, as we keep talking about in these interviews we do, about how we're fleshing out more of the lore and backstory for the alien species. And it's really getting that balance of what each species' unique perspective is on these different topics and trying to balance them out and make them have their own unique flair. So going through how they treat crime and how they view slavery, and juxtaposing that with how the UEE feels about stuff. So that's been pretty great. And very recently we've been putting out a little bit more content in the more recent news updates and in this month's subscriber-supported Jump Point magazine. So we've been releasing more alien-based content as we firm up our background work. So that's been a lot of fun.

Yeah, it's a fun thing to do, just because by knowing some of those very basic concepts of the different species, it not only informs the species, but it can also greatly inform the systems or the planets on the border or in the region, or their development history. So that is one of the fun things, to think about how life in a certain system or how a culture developed in a certain area based on its mixture of Xi'an influences or Banu influences, on top of whatever astronomical features made that system special too. So it's fun how small strands like that can affect the game in different areas.

And we spent so much time with the UEE, trying to make them feel like a really textured and morally gray political system and society, that we want to make sure that all the other ones have that same type of complexity and richness to them and feel compelling and interesting and have lots of opportunities for really cool stories, basically.
