But that doesn\u2019t make for such an exciting gaming experience. To solve for this, and to ensure players could have fun and interesting encounters with alien life in <em>Starfield<\/em>, the team worked to have <em>at least <\/em>one planet with life for every solar system that housed more than a few planets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-quote\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<aside class=\"wp-block-column column--quote pullquote flex-basis-25\">\n<div class=\"is-style-left\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>Creatures are cool, and we wanted lots of them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"source\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLead Tech Artist Felipe Nogueira\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column column--content flex-basis-50\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>\u201cAlthough not scientific in its distribution, this does at least mirror the only solar system any of us have experience with,\u201d explains Lead Character Artist Ben Carnow. \u201cI do not believe that a true unifying theory for life distribution is a thing that we really touched on in <em>Starfield<\/em>. I think, as in real life, the origins of life in <em>Starfield<\/em> are intended to be mysterious. I have always found the theory of Panspermia intriguing, that the building blocks of life (bacteria etc.) are present in many places and have been spread over billions of years by things like comets or other interstellar cataclysms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCreatures are cool, and we wanted lots of them,\u201d Lead Tech Artist Felipe Nogueira shares. \u201cLeadership had an idea of what percentage of planets would need life, and we went from there.

Combs says that this took some trial and error, resulting in some loose guidelines for how many different types of creatures per planet based on a \u201ccalculated abundance.\u201d This broke down to essentially one to three species on primordial planets, and up to ten or more on planets with abundant life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Starfield-2_25_2024-9_07_46-PM-eb64c7113225853b95ca.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-200098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Starfield-2_25_2024-9_07_46-PM-eb64c7113225853b95ca.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Starfield-2_25_2024-9_07_46-PM-eb64c7113225853b95ca-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Starfield-2_25_2024-9_07_46-PM-eb64c7113225853b95ca-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Starfield-2_25_2024-9_07_46-PM-eb64c7113225853b95ca-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>Some planets also feature multiple biomes to explore, which further complicated things. \u201cWe also had to consider which biomes they appeared in \u2013 if a creature only appeared in one, less common biome, they would be much harder to find and scan than if they appeared in multiple biomes,\u201d explains Combs. \u201cHaving a manageable number of creatures that the player was required to find to complete a planet survey was a consideration. The density of creatures spawned is also controlled by the biome \u2013 some have higher density where it makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I was curious to know if that placement was based on a lifeform\u2019s evolution trajectory, because by the time we meet these creatures in the game, they\u2019ve already reached their phase of surviving and thriving in a particular hospitable environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had an amazing variety of creatures created by our artists to choose from \u2014 there was not a specific system that determined how creatures evolved,\u201d says Combs. \u201cWhen placing creatures, there was thought put into which creatures made the most sense for which world: hard armored crabs might make sense for harsh, marshy worlds, for example. A big part of the process was if the creature looked right on a certain planet \u2014 \u2018does this look like something that would thrive in the savannas of Akila?\u2019 But they are also alien worlds, so sometimes you want a creature that looks alien.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Piecing it Together<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Creating all the creatures in <em>Starfield<\/em> required a significant amount of thought and effort from the development team.

The biggest difference is between predators and prey,\u201d Combs shares. \u201cThe body type and visuals were helpful for determining which creature behaviors to assign. For example, an aggressive-looking spider with fangs would make more sense visually as a predator, while a more docile pig-like creature would make more sense as prey. Larger creatures were made tougher, and if they looked like they had natural armor, there was a better chance of them being assigned a higher damage resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The animators made sure that every one of their rigs could support any potential creature behavior.

Knowing now the incredible level of care and attention to detail that went into creating these planets, and hand placing each of the alien creatures we discover, has made the entire experience of planet hopping in <em>Starfield<\/em> that much more enticing to continue.<\/p>\n<p>The implementation of broad game development ideas like, \u201ccreatures are cool, and we want lots of them,\u201d as Nogueira shared earlier, is quite the star to reach for. Nonetheless, it has been remarkable to learn about the team\u2019s dedication to their work and the passion that went into crafting and populating <em>Starfield<\/em>\u2019s many alien worlds.
