One
of the most exciting aspects of developing Solar Echoes was designing
the alien races that players would be able to play as their
characters. A lot of decisions weighed into the design of each alien
race, but the key to each one was hinged upon the question, “What
are some of the most resilient creatures on earth that could adapt to
life in space?” We're not saying that the Solar Echoes aliens came
from earth, but we looked at the universe and thought about what
types of creatures would be able to flourish throughout the cosmos.
Another question we tried to keep in mind was intelligence—what
creatures on earth display something that might be considered as
beyond animal intelligence? We also considered creatures based on
other unique qualities, such as their ability to spread their kind.
If life exists somewhere else in the universe, it might not look
entirely “alien” to us, after all. This week, we'll take a closer
look at the inspiration for each of the Solar Echoes aliens.
