One of the funding goal is Alien Language, Star Citizen's aliens will be speaking their own language. Is there any progress on this?asked by Sylvok
TL;DRAlien language work is progressing: Vanduul is developed with a constructed-language expert and was spoken by actors in Squadron 42 filming, with Xi'An and others to follow, and players will hear it, though not immediately.
Yes, there is progress on this. Vanduul is one of the languages, there's many we are working on, but Vanduul we needed for Squadron 42, so in August when I was over in England just after Gamescom, we shot a few days with the actors playing some of the Vanduul in Squadron 42, and they were speaking Vanduul, and it's very cool. We've actually got quite a few pretty good foreign language, sort of, made up language linguists or whatever. The person who was doing the Vanduul language, has worked on quite a few films and apparently he's one of the world's foremost experts on Na'vi.... he's one of the foremost experts on it and a bunch of other things like various Star Trek stuff like Klingon. In fact, he's the one who coached a whole bunch of people to be Klingons in the last couple of Star Trek's, so anyways, we developed this language which I think works quite well for the Vanduul. Of course, we are doing the same thing for the Xi'An, and for the other stuff, so that was sort of Dave Haddock, working with the various folks who will be doing that. We'll be moving forward on that, and you will in the near future, not in the immediate near future, but you will definitely be hearing Vanduul and then ultimately the other alien languages, so yes we've been moving forward on that.
