Devlog 6 - World (Galaxy) Building Document 1.0

Hey y’all! Elora here to talk a bit about some of the narrative work I have been up to! 

If it wasn’t obvious yet, our game takes place in outer space. It has foreign planets, aliens, and all the other fun stuff that comes with the cosmos. This means that we need to come up with some unique planets and aliens to populate the environment. 

Part of my role as a Narrative Designer is creating the World Building Document. Our World Building Document is a bit more of a Galaxy Building Document. We’re creating planets with unique aliens, cultures, terrain, weather, and more to set the scene for our game. 

Obviously, this is a huge endeavor, so the document is only partially completed. As a little teaser, I’ll tell you a bit about some of the work I have done so far! 

Planet Name: Cybele 

Cybele is home to a native amphibious humanoid species called the Kratu. Cybele was the first planet in the Nea Arxi System to be contacted and colonized by humans. It features a brilliant cyan sky, lush vegetation, and a relatively flat terrain littered with shallow waters. Cybele boasts a very art focused culture, and most media in the Nea Arxi system is produced on Cybele. 

Planet Name: Juventas 

Juventas is home to a native plant-humanoid hybrid species named Flos Cutis. The Flos Cutis cannot speak or hear the same range as other species, so they largely rely on written and symbolic communication. There are many races of Flos Cutis, each specialized to their specific environment. They have unique reproductive systems that allow them a variety of reproductive strategies such as self-pollination.
