Stellaris Dev Diary #95: Humanoids Species Pack

[Seb_Jean]

I can't wait to buy this one

 

[LeSingeAffame]

There is one who look like the devil, hope there is one looking like an angel because I prefer angels.

These ones look pretty angelic if you ask me

 

[Bluegrass Geek]

Shame I won't be purchasing this due to the Cherryh update. Even if it comes out before, that's not the kind of conduct I want to condone.

Looks nice though. :I

... man, what?

 

[Serenity84]

Some people wanted "disciplined military" adivisors because they are a bunch of real life jingoists who cannot accept it when militarism is represented by raging furor and not cold steel.

Hardly. I think the fanatical militarism in American society is disgusting and extremely dangerous. But the voice was still very bad. It doesn't fit for militarists and is even bad for barbarians/Klingons

 

[Garfazz Steamfang]

Agreed, most of the portraits in the game are indeed quite cheesy. On the other hand, I guess it's the only way to have so many of them in the game. The only games where I saw cleverly designed alien species didn't have more than five of them.

Yep. Uninspired for the most part: rubberhead humanoids, or copy/pasted earth animals. We only have a few that are a little bit more creative than the others. Stellaris was supposed to be "the mysteries of the unknown" and what do we found? An animal zoo and rubberhead humanoids... You speak about mysteries, aliens and unknown lifeforms! By the way what's the game you are speaking about? I'm quite interested to see the design of the species you talk about.

 

[Strigoi Tyrannus]

I always thought that alien in the loading screen was facing the camera. I think it looks way more sinister that way, with those "whiskers" coming from it's face and long twisted arms.

 

[Olliganak]

Such beautiful murder wedges! Like (as everyone else already said) a combo of the Stars War and Trek. Maybe even a little bit of Gate.

Glad we are getting intermediary content while we wait for Cherryh!

 

[Deda]

Yay for space dwarves!

 

[Harle]

The art is looking very good.
Some chance of a machine ship set and machine city skin in future?

This would be really nice. =( I'd pay a bit for this if it came with a handful more machine portraits (especially ones not based on the existing species, but more 'functional machines')

But either way, some cool art in here and I love the new ship set. Very traditional without being too referential.

I think you are selectively forgetting rather a lot of the content that came out alongside those things you are talking about. Unless I missed the Narnia book where Aslan builds a Dyson Sphere.

Agreed, although, maybe you could add an option to the start like the one in Crusader Kings II that eliminates supernatural events?

 

[MoriShy]

Awesome! Now we can play as Space-Orcs!

 

[bmt17]

Is there any chance of a game feature that will force spawn only say the original and these new humanoid races? Sometimes I want to play a game where everyone came from the same genetic stock or even all just humans or whatever. Making a number of custom empires and force spawning them all works but only to a degree as FEs and primitives/presentients can still be alien in nature.

Not to single anything out, but I'm curious about your statement.

Whats wrong with the Cherryh Update, and what kind of 'conduct' do you not want to 'condone'?

 

[iniudan]

Since it hasn't been asked yet, does the pack come with forum avatar ?

Just asking as someone who once used the Majesty 2's Dwarven hero avatar for a while. I could use a new Dwarf once I get tired of kuma-crab robot.

 

[mdallion446]

Hmmm, whom to choose, whom to choose: Alien Goat-Tiefling, Alien Sam Jackson, or Alien Space Orc? *weighs hands* Well, boys, I'm stumped.

 

[208]

I am still dissapointed in no proper-dwarf-voiceover.

Maybe you can just sneak DDRJake into the sound booth on weekends.

 

[Krellak]

We need a Furry Pack. I want some space wolves, space dogs, space cheetahs.

 

[Aotrs Commander]

I can't speak for the gentleman/lady/small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, but my impression of their comment was that this was a veiled commentary on the FTL thing.

Oh, and we have Star Destroyers.
