POST # 47 - Our Town (part 2)
Added 2020-11-15 18:44:45 +0000 UTCAs it was mentioned before, I love hard sci-fi. And our Lead artist too. And our programmer too and supporting concept-artist also loves it, I am sure about that! Probably our second artist and sound-master are hard fans of hard sci-fi too, but need to find out.
So, if you feel warmer in your heart after the mention of “hard sci-fi”, this post is for you. If not, just scroll on! I promise to share some hot content right after this bit of detailed stuff. But for now please let me share how we tried to make our city look realistic and reasonable. And I really hope this will not just be interesting for researchers only.
Here some ideas, according to which this town was built:
*Aliens looks exactly like humans, because they are the same species as humans, they just live in space and hide their own identity from us, they think we are too primitive for them (just imagine what selfish assholes they are!).
*Aliens are stealing people from Earth for their own shows and entertainment and these tournaments are very bloody and cruel (yep, because aliens are just bastards, right)
*Aliens built small towns for their shows, all inhabitants in these small towns are humans from Earth, who were stolen by aliens (they have been stealing people for ages.)
*Most popular shows are the gladiator fights, and this game is happening in the town of gladiators.
*Aliens builds all their fun show-towns with the standard scheme: arena + prison + hospital + port + barracks + perimeter. They provide the minimum necessary for life of small society.
*All other buildings (shops, bars, casinos, clubs, strip-clubs, private houses, houses-fortresses for those who become rich) are built by the inhabitants themselves.
*We can see the difference in styles, sizes and used materials in buildings made by aliens (they build high-tech things of large size) and by inhabitants (they use what they can find).
