How is creature tech coming along? A new beast this year?

So I don't know about creatures this year necessarily, because right now, from the CTG side, I work for both projects. So sometimes I don't even know which one is for what. So I don't know of new creatures for SC this year. There's just always a creature on the way in somewhere within the pipeline. There's been a lot of the Yormandi. So there's always some creature in the group. So creature tech-wise, we're in this state where it just works like a character. They're very similar. But as I mentioned before, we're looking into all the scalable skeletons as well as creature DNA so that we can give some massive amounts of variation to these guys, because it's one thing to pre-can a couple assets and to spawn them randomly or so, but it's a way different thing to have the range of a DNA system or something like that. Even material systems need to be able to scale in the same kind of way. So that's where we're going. That's where we're heading, definitely that route. Now, we're also going to be adding a bunch more boids, like a bunch more of the more simplistic creature, not necessarily a full AI, but a critter that moves around that you can shoot and pick up, whatever. So that's kind of the state of creature.

And I want to tack on to that. When Sean says he doesn't know, he's not being coy like, oh, I don't know if we're going to make it. He's saying he doesn't know. He's not part of the scheduled content. He doesn't make the content plan for the year. He just works on the tech behind it. When other people determine it's ready and all the other aspects beyond his stuff make it ready, that's when it goes in. You often come around going, oh, I didn't realize that went out.

100%.

It happens a bunch. So he's not making a statement of cautious reservation. He's being quite literal. He doesn't know.
