I would like to know more about the procedural tech. You've talked about consulting linguists for alien languages, are you talking to exobiologists, exoplanetologists, and exo-climatologists for direction and help in designing the ecosystems and climates of alien planets?asked by Coryphaeus

That's a good question. I, we have done a certain amount of working with a local school here in L.A. actually. So UCLA we've been dealing with some astrophysicists and their ilk, in terms of laying out our star systems and what kind of planets would be what distance from the stars. That dictates the type of planet. To a certain extent what we do is we say "Well we want this kind of planet". Then we talk to the folks that really know and say "So what situation could we potentially get this planet in?". And they'll say "Well then maybe it needs to be this distance, this many Au from the star and ...".And that's so how we on a macro side have been doing the star system map and some of that will filter into the procedural tech. But it's still early days on the, kind of figuring out the ecosystems of the planets and the weather patterns and all the rest of the stuff. I would guess that we would tend to go a little bit more towards a designed approach where it's like taking a look at Hoth. It's an ice planet and it's cool, but is the whole planet covered in snow or is it..I mean it certainly looks like when you watch the movie. Would that be realistic? Would there ever be life on a planet like that? Maybe, maybe not I don't know.But you very much define the planets like, using my Star Wars reference here: Hoth is the ice planet, Tatooine is like a desert planet and so you got, you go to the Dagobah system and it's all like this swampy jungle thing. Very much in Star Wars they focus the planets to feel like it's a type, it's a jungle, or it's an ice planet, or it's a desert planet.So we'll probably do a little bit of that, maybe not quite as much of that. But we'll definitely do some of that, 'cause I think it really helps in terms of identifying the planets and stuff. So there'll be a combination of a little bit of science and what we think fiction or lore wise, kind of gameplay wise would help. So there you go. A little bit of it, but not a massive amount.
